The VM is a series of matches over three weekends of two matches per weekend . Basically points in your section are vital so if you finish in the top 3 you get a medal and along with the other top anglers have a chance to go and fish for Sweden in the World and European float fishing championships.
The script was wrote and it was successful ! Hail Gyula , Sweden's 'Kung'
SATURDAY 21ST AUGUST
Södertãlje - the start of the journey to the VM at Norrkoping
A section and the Lars Lind OCTBOX gear looking highly impressive and now one of the most popular BOX systems in the UK
Christer Pantzar playing with his Balls
I was indeed honoured to be in the same area as this Legend , the Mighty , the Bagging machine phenomena which is Stefan Holst - Swedens fishing star equivalent to what Tomas Brolin is to Sweden's International football.
Ready and waiting and saying hi to great friend Mikael Tono
Shaun Keavey a recent recruit from 2015 to Sweden and the fishing match scene . He has distinguished himself admirably with many good results and winnings - great to meet the guy for the first time
B SECTION
A SECTION
Anssi in thought
Kent Adell - Another Legend of huge proportions who has gained Internationally a podium Bronze for the Vikings and set Bagging records where ever he goes.
Tom Ostland - Massive in Swedish match fishing and his CV reads long in International experience
Gyula Bercsenyi - A great alround angler and a specialist in all things Waggler and Slider
Jonas Janson who commands great writings and information on the Swedish match scene and especially on the Feedertorget - back from his International Feeder championship in France where he performed brilliantly to gain a first day 4th . It was a tough venue but the experience the team gained is now in the memory banks of Swedish match angling .
Great to see 'Lisse' Lind , another great character with very much experience in the match scene .
Christer Pantzar - Mivardi man of excellence in his kitchen of Magic Mix - great bloke and gaining a reputation on the match scene
As an end-pegger next to peg A9 (Tom Ostland) i was able to view before and during the match anglers going about their business but it also gave me an insight to tactics and feeding. On the day all the end pegger's had no Joker not like the match anglers however our goal was to create a barrier against the next angler so not to give any advantage . However the use of the Joker proved to be a large difference on the day (Except for Kent on furthest peg out who hit 25 plus kilos of Bream).
My day i decided to fish pole at 9-11m and fish at 6-7m on the whip . I enjoyed it as i watched Tom take possibly 10 Large skimmers and Bream in the first 90 minutes backed by good class of roach . I noted the way he fed his lines and the rigs he was using so that is now in my memory banks .
End of the first days match and time to weigh in ;
A SECTION
Firstly on the end peg next to A1 was Christer with 4 kilos

The days record sheets
SUNDAY 22ND AUGUST
Sunday's match i went onto B section where Milo was fishing the day before . Christer fished A section on the same peg again as my peg was left free due to some potentially angry Wasp's nest . Kent also went back onto the same peg .
Fredrik on Saturday's A section winners peg (A9)........will it be the same ?
In my Kitchen
SENSAS Valencia whip at 7m with EXNER 3gr Polli
TRIANA whip at 6.5m with EXNER 3gr Juno
BATTLE POLE whip at 6m with EXNER 2.5gr Lucifer
SENSAS 74 XL River Pole :
Top 5 with MATRIX 4-6 elastic to SENSAS Jean Francois 4gr
Top 5 with MATRIX 2-4 elastic to Marazio Schiepatti Sirio 2gr
2 x Top 5 with PRESTON 3-4 elastic to Marazio Schiepatti Draco 2gr
My aim was to sensitise my rigs and work on the bristles for bites by using back shot above the float that i could manipulate to get just the right bristle showing . I also decided to pot in all day every 15 minutes with 50/50 dark gb / light leam / binding leam . However my initial feed in the 10 minutes pre-bait i placed in 15 balls on two lines . My 4gr rig i wanted to keep the bait still with about 7-10 cms on the bottom with worm (where i had all of my 7 Bream and skimmers)
Well ! the expected large weights did not materialise on B section , in fact they were less than the day before , how could you legislate for that ? The A section actually was better weights so there is one for the history books ?
