This year the 36th EFTTEX (European Fishing Tackle Exhibition) took place between 29th June and 1st July. It must be noted that this is one of the biggest exhibitions in Europe, where many manufacturers introduce their new products. This prestigious exhibition was started in 1981 in London. Since then it has been organized every year in different cities of Europe. Fortunately, Hungarian manufacturers didn’t have to travel too far this year, as the exhibition took place in Budapest on Hungexpo. This is the second time the event has taken place in our capital, and it’s fair to say that it’s been a great success.

Success in EFTTEX

Our team The stand before the opening

In 2015 Zsolt Benzár won in the „Best Soft/Dough Bait" category with Benzár Jelly Maggot, which was considered a novelty back then.

The creator of the winning bait

This year one of our new products, the Benzár Jelly Baits Luminophore worm, has won in the very same category. These artificial baits look exactly like the real ones, except they light. It is important that these baits are not made of rubber. We use soluble albumen, which do not pollute the environment. The bait dissolves naturally in the water. This we consider a major advantage over other manufacturers.

We've shown how the award winning Bezár Jelly Baits Luminophore works

Here is the winner!

The presentation of the Jelly

See, it looks like real! We've won!

Let’s not forget about The One Enzymax, which was given the Visitor’s Choice award. These corns are germinated and go through a special fermentation process. It is also one of our novelties that you couldn’t find in fishing shops before. Probably that’s why people loved it!

Unique baits indeed! Everyone can see the result

This year's exhibition has been a major success for Energofish.

Let's take a closer look at our stand. Our shelves are full of novelties. No wonder, we were awarded two prizes.

Clonking on River Tisza
Published: 2024. December 29. | Source: Viktor Csala | Articles

River Tisza has been a part of my life from the very beginning and still is to this day. As a child, I learned to fish on this river, and its port was an iconic gathering spot at the Szeged riverbank before weekend parties, as well as a great meeting place. My workplace is also along this river: a traditional fish restaurant. It’s one of my favorite fishing waters. I’d like to clarify upfront that I don’t consider myself a big predator-fish angler. I enjoy sitting in my boat and...
