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 had two alternatives for the day after my match fishing day in Dömsöd. The first one was the more serious feeder fishing for carp in the middle of the river bed, far-far from me. However, it looks like over the past few days, the carps would like to retreat, I cant see any catch around me. The other possibility was my pole in my bag. The wind was strong, therefore the pole fishing seemed very hard. I had just limited time for the fishing, so I choose the pole. And what was the ...

The water and the land is beautiful too. But let's avoid the „in medias res” begining. This story started at spring, when we planned our holiday. We tryed to find a place for rest, and nothing more! Finaly we choose Hotel Orchidea at Tengelic here in Hungary. The nice wellness hotel was placed ...
We spend some days in Dömsöd, in the Ráckevei Duna in every year. It is needless to say that, the main focus this year was in the fishing. The weather was bad this time too, the whole week was windy, rainy and cold. First, I tried my favorite light feeder rods, but my true goal was to catch some fishes with float. 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 ...

The popularity of concentrated, small-amount feeding hasn’t dropped during the past years, rather has grown among the Hungarian fishermen. These kinds of products were available in the wide range of Carp Expert accessories as well, but we thought that we needed to use the opportunities buried in the continuously developing technologies. That’s how the new Carp ...
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.

Due to the high volume of arable land, cereal production in Hungary is five to eight times the national ...

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 ...

The rapid growth of LED technology has seen many battery-operated fishing floats appear on the market in the last decade. Most of them are universal and not constructed for a specific method of fishing. Many were too large in the beginning to carry button cell batteries and were recommended mainly for predator fishing. As the technology improved the floats became smaller, but makers still kept the universal design to cover a wider range of markets. In 2018, Hungarian tackle ...

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 ...
The really first Carp Expert line was made 25 years ago. Energofish has celebrated it’s 30th anniversary last December, which means that the Carp Expert Black serie was made in the really early years of the company. That time, the experience, sales data, and market feedback was not not available so in details as nowadays, so the new range created then had to be brave decision. The success of monofilaments, provided strong base for the brand, to develope a full scale carp range ...
I am Ramón Nieto, passionate fisherman. I was about four or five years old when my grandfather taught me how to fish. I remember putting my first rods together with him piece by piece. We collected reeds for the body of the rod, then carved a wine cork for the body of the float. I will never forget how excited I was, looking at the water for hours. Catfishing has its own beauty, beyond the catches I was completely enchanted by the ritual of fishing. My love for fishing ...
