In addition to trade, Energofish Ltd. places great emphasis on environmental and freshwater protection. Since 2012, we have been involved in research and development projects with the main purpose of improving water quality and protecting fish stocks. This year, you can meet us at the competition of UltraBalaton , where you can learn about our environment friendly efforts and win valuable and useful prizes.

Our Go green products have been on the shelves since 2019
One of our main ambitions is to replace lead-containing fishing accessories, as thousands of tons of lead enter into our waters every year, causing enormous damage to our environment because of its continuous presence in the aquatic ecosystem. Lead in the EU fishing tackle trade is estimated to be consumed in the range of 6000-8000 tonnes/year and its toxicity is undisputed.

Lead is considered a highly carcinogenic toxic element, the accumulation of which has been clearly demonstrated. In natural watercourses, accumulation in fish liver can be as high as 225%, with significant concentrations of lead already detectable in the bloodstream. In addition to the lead load, there are also significant levels of artificial plastic-based sources of pollution. These materials are mainly used as bait (rubber corn, rubber maggot), which also contain significant amounts of dyes. Energofish Ltd. is working to replace the above-mentioned plastic and plastic fishing lures with lead-containing accessories.
In 2013, the Hungary-based Energofish Ltd. launched the naturally biodegradable Benzar Jelly Baits product line. Energofish Ltd. is in the process of increasing its green product offerings to Europe's anglers.
Last year we took a big step forward with the launch of the Go Green brand. Nature-friendly fishing products are now available to everyone.
As a first step, we replaced the wide-stone leads used in carp fishing with zinc weights, which proved very popular with anglers.
Green packaging solutions
In addition to trade, our company also strives to protect the environment in its internal life. We are constantly replacing our packaging materials with biodegradable ones and we have an in-house selective waste collection system. When purchasing office equipment, it is important to us that a large proportion of it is made from recycled materials. We also promote the importance of environmental protection among our partners, which would make us unique in Hungary in the industry in promoting such environmental protection.

We have also introduced green packaging, which has eliminated single-use plastic bags and replaced them with textile bags.
We have already introduced our new maggot boxes, which are fully biodegradable, replacing the plastic maggot and worm boxes that would end up in the beds of lakes or rivers.
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...

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...
