Under the colorful coat of this rod, you find a true workhorse. It is indeed a slim rod made of IM8 carbon with enough power in reserve. The neoprene handle is a delight to touch. During fishing, the rod becomes your elongated forearm, which helps you detect every shy bite and vibration of your lure. Although it is a strong fishing rod, it is not heavy at all.
Yes, I am talking about the latest spinning rod family of Energo Team, namely, Wizard Classic Jig and Drop Shot rods. The above description is particularly true for Drop Shot rods. Once you hold one of these beauties in your hand, you won’t doubt their outstanding abilities.
In this article, let me introduce you the ET Wizard Classic Jig and the ET Wizard Spin 3000 reel, which was designed specifically for this spinning rod. In my next article, I’ll introduce my favorite ET Wizard Drop Shot spinning rods.
Now, let’s learn more about Wizard rods.
 A perfect match for spinning: ET Wizard Classic Jig and Wizard Spin 3000 spinning reel. |
Wizard Classic Jig spinning rods are made in three sizes. Here, let us focus on the ultra light 2,10 version. Every little detail of the Classic Jig rod is carefully designed. This is why it provides an impressive performance. It is short and light, so you can use it either on a boat or on shore. IM8 carbon makes it a flexible rod that can resist high levels of tow. It is also a very fast rod.

The main function of the special, integrated reel seat was to achieve balance, and, of course, to reduce weight.
 It’s a small and light reel seat, but still, it grasps the reel foot firmly. |
In the manufacture, special attention was paid to the guides. The new, single foot guides do not alter the geometry of the rod or its character.
 The result of careful planning is perfect balance. |
The six single foot guides are in perfect harmony with the rod. They are slightly bent forward, which improves your casting. You can use them with either braided or mono lines.
 Special guides with wide diameter. As can be seen, they are bent forward. |
 Premium guides. You’ll love them for sure. |
 Tight line with an ideal angle between the rod and the reel. You can actually feel the bites in your wrist! |
The shortest Classic Jig rod can be used with various soft baits. You can cast even heavy jigheads with it. The Classic Jig rod is sensitive and fast, which allows you to react to bites effectively. They have enough power in reserve, which you might need when there’s a big predator on your hook. It is a joy to fish with!
Once you have a good spinning rod, you need a good spinning reel too. Fortunately, the Wizard family has a perfect reel with an unbeatable value for money. This is the Wizard Spin 3000.
 Its appearance suggests that this is a quality product. |
Wizard Classic has a perfect structure and a well proportioned appearance. The graphite housing and the ultra light aluminum spool prevent it from being heavier than other spinning reels on the market. Without line, it weighs 266 gr. This can be considered good in this category. The steel bearings and the frame comp of the anti-reverse system are important features of a good spinning reel.
 The reel weighs 266 gr. This makes it a perfect choice for light spinning. |
Wizard Spin 3000 works perfectly well. The handle turns smoothly without any disturbing vibrations and noises.
 The inseparable. |
Its drag system is absolutely reliable and smooth. With the big nut, the drag can be adjusted easily in every situation.
 At last, a perfect nut that is completely skid-proof in every situation. |
The hollow bail arm and the rotor further enhance the durability of the structure. The open bail cannot jump back to closed position, not even in extreme fishing situations. However, it can be closed smoothly by turning the handle. The roller of the bail is equipped with a special bearing, which delivers smooth performance.

 Don’t forget about these during maintenance. |
Wizard Spin 3000 has turned, metal handle, which is a feature of only a few reels in this price category. What’s more, our technicians have put a button on the reel, which helps you close the handle easily. It also makes fishing and transportation more comfortable and safer.
 You can close the handle in the blink of an eye. |
 Here is the result. |
Under the cover of the housing you find a traditional, optimized spool lift mechanism. Both sides of the bail have bearings. Their life span can be greatly improved by using high-quality lubricant in the maintenance.
 Perfect caulking without overcomplicating things. The simple structure runs smoothly. |
 More than enough lubricant is put in the reel. |
 Alloy disc, which plays an important role in enhancing the durability of the reel. |
I hope many of you will have the opportunity to try this perfect match. The price of the rod and the reel is only a fragment of the price of big brands. However, there isn’t such a big difference in their performance and the fishing experience they offer. One thing is for sure, it won’t be difficult to get used to the Wizard Jig and Wizard Spin reel.
 The first catch always leaves you with pleasant memories... |
 ...especially if there are others too. |

Bizonyára sokan eljátszottunk már azzal a gondolattal, hogy milyen nagy hasznát tudnánk venni egy olyan orsónak, amelynek sebességét, zsinórbehúzási képességét szabadon állíthatnánk, változtathatnánk önként és szabadon, a horgászat teljes ideje alatt. És valóban, az adott pillanat diktálta igényekhez alkalmazkodni mindenképpen nagyszerű dolog, de felteszem a kérdést, volt-e eddig a piacon erre a célra tervezett kétsebességes orsó, mely...

In my previous article, I mentioned that Drop Shot rods are one of my favorites, and their performance cannot be overestimated. This might sound biased, but trust me; I know what I’m talking about. After months of using these rods, I can safely say that they satisfy all my needs when it comes to ultra light spinning. Fishing with little soft baits cannot be more enjoyable, and, of course, let’s not forget about wobblers either. I’m not exaggerating –...
t Nowadays, it is not easy for a new Bolognese rod to make a name for itself. It should be either at a reasonable price or of outstanding quality to win anglers’ sympathy. Unfortunately, these two criteria rarely meet. Energo Team’s Rubin Bolo has been widely used for years not just by Hungarian but foreign anglers, too. However, ET Nase Bolo, which made its debut in spring 2015, is considered a novelty. Rubin Bolo is a real workhorse. Nase Bolo,...
This year was full of surprises for devoted bolognese anglers. As I’m a bolognese angler too, I feel lucky to have got to know two excellent bolognese rods within six months. We have just introduced Nase Bolo, and now we have another rod that makes its debut. I can safely say that this is a magnificient rod too. Its price category reflects its unique features.

The new Champion family has recently been introduced to the public. On the bags you find Szilárd Szilvási’s name, so we asked the European champ what we should know about these products. CHAMPION GROUNDBAITS I use mostly my own groundbaits, believe it or not, even in fishing tournaments! It is the micro granules that make Champion Mix unique. Through a special process I’ve managed to create a groundbait that consists of mostly...
