5th June - Visiting the record Swedish Crucian Carp Lake , URSJÖN.

I travelled to Köping on the 5th June to meet at Jamies house where Russ had also travelled to. From there we then further travelled to Ursjön as guests of the SWEDISH ANGLERS and our own specimen angler Christoffer was also in attendance fishing for those specimen Crucians .

We arrived at the car park and Russ instigated a display area to show these very experienced anglers what METMASK has in the way of bait knowledge but also the product line that we are helping develop and sell around Sweden and surrounding countries .

Russ started by showing the baits like worms and maggots and how best to look after them and what makes a good maggot . Russ has had 20 years selling bait and he used to produce his own bait and was well supported with advise by famous English anglers like Kevin Ashurst and others on how to breed maggots but most importantly how best to look after them . Russ also talked about worms and how best they are kept so you dont waste any out of your sack plus how you feed them and what environment they should be kept in . 

Later we went through some products from out MIVARDI , PROFESS , LORPIO ground baits  , pellets and boilies and how best we can use them in this changing Swedish market where more and more anglers are seeing the power of the pellet/Boilie which is proving a winner in these warmer months .






Russ in his demonstration of the products and baits and i think it was warmly welcomed by members of SWEDISH ANGLERS and we welcomed their input and advice also so there was a massive mutual benefit we shared together.

I think it was the guy called Jimmy who was camped closer to the car park on the road presumably to be close to all the cars as a look-out however ; there was a report of Bear Shit in the vicinity which made me smile as i know in talking with people that when something is obvious we normally say ;  'Do Bears shit in the Woods' ?

Christoffer had a message for Jamie 



I could not resist so since my fishing form is awful.......... then just buy more gear !






Wow .......what a wonderful gesture from the guys at the venue .........RULE BRITANNIA especially for June 6th that 77 years ago the normandy landings started the eventual defeat of Germany that has now brought peace to our world ......LEST WE FORGET THOSE WHO FELL IN THIS GREAT CAUSE 



We were treated to a BBQ from the Guys 



Better than MACDONALDS any day and the taste out in the country is always the best .

SUMMARY of the visit on a kind invite 

I was pleasantly surprised by the enthusiasm displayed by our hosts and also found it great they have so much knowledge on specimen fishing that we were hearing about with huge interest. I also found all our hosts were so approachable and i think that Russ , Jamie and myself were involved in so many separate conversations about a full spectrum of subjects to do with specimen angling , i thoroughly enjoyed this .

During our day Russ mentioned that you can purchase large sacks of ground bait from SWEDBAIT and use add additives (maybe ours ?) as we will continue to promote our products in a professional manner even if it is a fellow company in the trade. But at the end of the day there are many Swedish shops in the market for customers just like us however if all the shops conduct themselves with fair prices and advertising then there is enough to go around for all shops in Sweden as the 'TRADE' is important if fishing is to survive and progress . 

We realise that anglers have favourite brands and shops and that is called freedom of choice and this is respected so its only like some of us like to shop at Willeys , COOP , ICA etc .... and some like to shop for a new car at FORD , VW or TOYOTA etc ...... its the choice of the individual . 

However we would like to say that if you require help with anything from Bait purchase , Bait care , feed products , rods , reels , pellets , boilies , Carp gear , specimen gear , venues to fish and how best to tackle that venue then our team are always here to help so please contact us on our FACEBOOK page .
