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 2022 Efttex trade show, it won the DBNP category and was also awarded 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...

First, some interesting facts about the lake: this gem is located in Nógrád county, its size is approximately fifty-hectare and it was...
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...
