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 ...

The Carp Expert Double Tip rods have become extremely popular among anglers due to their versatility and the endless possibilities they offer, making them one of the most favored rods in the assortment. I personally experienced this versatility with the redesigned Max2 Double Tip rods, as one day I was fishing for bream with a long line and a 75g feeder, and two days later, on a different section of river, I was battling wild river fish with the same rod, fighting in the dense vegetation in ...

However, it has now been brought under ...

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...

If someone had told me in 2015 that in the Wizard family there would be a lighter and more comfortable rod than the Wizard Drop Shot, I would have laughed. I didn’t think that this standard could be enhanced. The designers, however, thought it otherwise, and they made a brave attempt to create a new fishing rod. To make the handiest fishing rod ever, they used only the best raw materials. Then, they altered the structure of the handle and put some extra guides on the body. ...

x Fish can be caught in the easiest way at that place where they are. But what happens if they are far away from the shore? Fishing at an area farther than 100 meter is not a simple task to perform precisely. Obviously, best solutions would be to use a fishing boat or a remote controlled boat, however they are forbidden to be utilized in many lakes. Therefore, in such cases we can only rely on our rod, reel and some useful accessories enabling us fishing at a longer range from the bank ...

igarpusztai_pontyok_nyomában In summertime, the weather forecast is always bad for the angler. If it tells good weather, it means we will get a heat alarm and just sweat on the bank silently. If the forecast is bad, then it is good for fishes but we will get wet in the rain. Just for fun of course. The worst is when the weather changes. In this time fishes doesn't want to eat, and we are sweating in the rain or something similar to this. Of course, this can change frequently, so the ...

igarpusztai_pontyok_nyomában At the celebration day of work, I went to my favorite fishing lake, to Fehérvárcsurgó. The whole lake’s water surface is around 140 hectare depending on the actual level of the water.

Today, I wanted to catch these small species, to spend some great hours here. The ...

igarpusztai_pontyok_nyomában At the end of May, I spent some days with my family at the Szarvasi Holt-Körös, at the backwater of Kákafok.

No ...

igarpusztai_pontyok_nyomában I am sure that all of us were in the same situation, we were sitting on the bank, watching the tip and nothing happened. Sometimes it looks like we can’t drop enough groundbait into the water, and all the bait works like pieces of rock. So, we can’t catch anything, except flu. Some stands up and go home saying “fishes doesn’t eats today”. But the truth is that fishes doesn’t eats what and where we give them to eat. In ...

If somebody uses feeder rods frequently, than he wants to know more and more about its history, not just about tackle or baits. How did somebody start to think - in the cloudy England - about using the tip of the rod as indicator?

I was thinking on such things while I was walking to my favorite lake, my rodbag was on my shoulder. The Sun was shining but ...

The town was completely frozen. The rimes were shining at rays of the first rays of the rising Sun. It brought much of light, but not warmth.

It seemed the whole world were sleeping at that moment. There was none on the lake bank, I met with some ducks only. The anglers gave some groundbait to them. I never bring the remaining with me, just left ...

My first pike was caught with feeder rod. In these times, it ...

The true Fall arrived in the first days of October. The air was chill and heavy due to the fog. The wind was cold, I felt it on my face, when I was cycling to my hometown’s lake. The trees were swaying in the wind, which was getting stronger and stronger trough the morning. The king’s city is not a calm place neither in history nor in meteorology manner. The mid days were good, however the mornings getting more and more colder. Hopefully the waterfront was ...

One of the shiny Saturday afternoon of October, my friend told me the following “Let's go fishing for pike!” It was some days after I decided to try catching predators. I decided some days before this that I will try myself in spinning, but the session was planned to another time. “Two hours, not more!” I cant say a 'no'. The nice weather and the beautiful creek calling me to try out some techniques I caught pike or perch only with pole and feeder, ...

I was curious, whether I can use the match such bad weather conditions like I had there. Pretty good rod + pretty good groundbait = pretty good ...

The Feeder fishing is admittedly one of mos sensitive technique. We can catch all the careful fishes easily. But what happens, if our finny friends leaves the near-coast distance and get the direction to the deeper, further water. This event sometimes happen thanks to the weather. In these times, all our attempts are useless, we cant make any serious takes near the coast within 50 yards. This means we cant catch fish? Of course not! I try to seduce the fishes with good ...
