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 – so far this is Energo Team’s best spinning rod. |
kép: Short, determined and merciless. |
I’ve fished a few hundred hours with this rod, but it is still as good as new. The handle, the handgrip, the guides and the joints are all in perfect condition, although I’ve been using it since April. It has never let me down in extreme fishing situations. It has proven that it is the number one spinning rod without doubts. The result of its impressive performance is the large number of chubs that I’ve caught with it.
A majestic chub after the ban. Naturally, I caught it with my favorite, most loyal fishing rod. |
We’ve had many adventures together. By now, we’ve become inseparable. |
Similarly to Wizard Classic Jig, the Drop Shot is also made of IM8 carbon. However, its blank is thinner. Its diameter above the handgrip is 8,5 mm. Despite the thin blank, the rod is unbelievably fast and stiff. The last third of the tip is soft, which helps you cast little lures with great precision. This feature of the rod comes in handy for me, as I often fish in a narrow stream. With my Drop Shot rod, I can cast little soft baits and wobblers right under the bushes and trees that grow along the shore.
You can balance the 2,10 m Drop Shot with a 1000-3000 size reel. Using a reel of this size, you’ll have perfect balance centered at the middle of the handgrip.
Right in the middle, as it needs to be. |
Using this setting, you can hold your rod and cast with less effort. It makes every minute of spinning a pleasure. |
The nine, ultra light silicon carbide guides distribute strain evenly throughout the rod. Its power in reserve when playing fish is astonishing. It can cushion the strikes of big chubs even in the last seconds. I often though that I didn’t have a prayer of landing gigantic 40-50 cm chubs with my 0,16 mono. However, the Drop Shot could tackle this problem easily. It could be both strict and permissive depending on the situation.
Although it’s a stiff wand, it’s action is fantastic. |
Wizard Spin 3000 works well with Wizard Classic rods, but also with Drop Shots. |
An ET Wizard Spin 3000 reel adds to the knowledge of the rod. The two designs complement each other perfectly. What’s more important, however, is that you can rely completely on your tackle in every situation.
A perfect match. |
6 bearings, infinite anti-reverse system, light graphite housing, aluminum spool, precise drag system. All in 266 gr. |
Slightly bent guides with wide diameter. They can improve your casting significantly. |
Even the best spinning tackle is just cold objects on a shelf until someone, who suffers from a passion for angling, makes them something magical. |

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...

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...
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. If I had to rank Energo Team’s rods I would definitely put Blade-Tanaka-Nase bolognese rods to the first three...
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...
