Wizard Catmagnet, a new Energofish product development, from the Hungarian design table to implementation
In 2024, in our days, we can safely say that it is not easy to launch unique products on the market, this is due to the terrible information revolution and the various possibilities.
This factor also affects and threatens the fishing tackle industry, but whoever invests time and effort and digs into the depths of things can develop and improve. This is what Energofish Ltd. does continuously. Within the Energofish company, we are constantly developing and expanding the Wizard brand for solutions for predatory fish products and catching predatory fish. The professional team of our company also worked on improving this group in order to create a product that makes life easier for catfish fishermen and was not available anywhere on the market until now!
The time spent at the design table and the test phases have brought the fruits of the work and now catfish anglers can receive and use the Catmagnet product within the Wizard brand in their fishing, thus promoting their effectiveness during catfishing.
In addition to the fishing public, the Catmagnet product was evaluated by several international professional awards in the past year, as a result of which its uniqueness won the following awards:

But what is this product technically?
The idea of the Wizard Catmagnet product comes from the splicing method then, or as it is also known: the tearing method. This method works by mooring the end rig, which is at the end of the main line, in the area to be fished with a line with a much lower strength than the breaking strength of the main line. This area can be a reed wall, a bush, a tree trunk, or a buoy, or even a weight placed on the bottom of the water, etc. The fishing rod stretched from the mooring is placed on the shore standing (it can be set prestreched or laid down, then prestreched with a heavier weight bite indicator). In the event of a bite, the tear line breaks and drilling of the fish begins.
This method has a better chance of catching the fish because there will be a more direct connection between the end gear and the fishing rod than with other tension-free float or bottom methods
Thinking about making the method easier, we came up with the idea of using magnets, to create a structure which we could replace the single-use monofilament with: thus CATMAGNET was born.
The structure consists of two units, which are connected by a magnet. The white floating part can be fixed or running on the main line, and the other, blue component, contains the braid necessary for fastening, with which the structure can be attached to a landmark near the searched location. As a result of a bite, these two parts release and the fight with the fish can begin.
We designed the CATMAGNET in a way that if we rotate the two parts on the top of each other, different magnetic connections can be created, thus we can replace tensile line of different strengths. The essential idea of the device is that we can completely replace the line used for tearing, which means we are not contaminating our environment with the remaining monofilaments. After the fight and re-baiting, we can practically re-arm our system with one movement.
CATMAGNET consists of injection-moulded parts, which makes it a product intended for long-term use. The material itself is colored, so we don't have to worry about any paint wearing off. It is made of strong material that is completely resistant to trampling. Both of its parts float on the surface of the water, so we don't have to worry about it sinking if our rig breaks either. 4 light sticks can be snapped onto its surface, making it visible for those who want to track their movements in the dark - in addition, both CATMAGNET units are equipped with reflective foil, so you can easily find them in the dark even without using the chemical lights.
We are extremely proud of the product, and it also received the patented product trademark. What's more, at the Efttex trade show, it won the DBNP category in addition on the Hungarian Design Award.

The technique of float fishing has always been one of my favorite methods. In my childhood (like many others), I caught my first fish with this float method, and to this day, I enjoy using rods without reels. At the FeHoVa exhibition, I encountered CARP EXPERT's new float rods for the first time, and when I held the model named SCOBAR in my hand, I immediately felt that it was an excellent tool... Gone are the days when I chased fish with a bamboo rod on the banks of small channels, then...
István Pal looks over the vast wheat fields that border the road into Budapest and smiles. Not just with pride in his homeland, but because those thousands of acres of swaying corn have a vital role in the business of his company, Energofish. Bait manufacture is a key element in the Hungarian brand’s success - and seeds and cereals play a prominent part in that category. Due to the high volume of arable land, cereal production in Hungary is five to eight times the national...
The Carp Expert's fishing lines have been released with a renewed look and improved quality. The attractive red packaging is recognizable from afar, but of course, it's not just for show. Both the Specialist and Power families offer 4 options each, catering to everyone's needs. The red packaging is beautiful and attention-grabbing. Most anglers consider the breaking strength of the lines when choosing. While excellent values can be found this way, I believe it's more important...
In recent years, the weather has been quite favorable during the winter months. We've spent this period fishing, but this has changed this year, and everyone must decide for themselves whether unfortunately or not, perhaps nature needs a little break too. Thick ice covers our waters, and preparing for the season comes to the forefront. My thoughts, of course, revolve around fishing, so I've been tying some float rigs. I always choose the float according to the fishing species and...
This year, the 2024 Arms, Fishing, Hunting Exhibition was held between February 08-11, where I had the opportunity to represent Energofish Kft for two days. On these two days, we received a lot of questions, mostly regarding the 2024 novelties, with most people inquiring about the new 5.5 mm Concourse Twister Mini baits. The Twister Mini baits have sparked the interest of many of our fellow anglers! Everyone was more or less aware that the new baits are the "little...
