Ensure the health of carp by developing a bait that is more natural and easy to a digest while also not harming the water environment… that was the tall order demanded of product developers at top Hungarian brand Energofish.And after two years of painstaking development, the company believes it has achieved its aim with the launch of The One.
The source of the groundbreaking – and first of its kind – bait is the humble insect. The One Insect Series is a natural carp food that is made of completely sustainable products that have delivered proven carp-catching results for over a year in testing.The bait was developed by Peter Micula, a five-time European Cup winner on Hungary’s Maconka Lake and a former World Carp Classic winner in 2012 on the Lago di Bolsena, Italy. His reputation in the carp world was further enhanced recently when he triumphed in the individual International Cup on Prod Lake, Hungary, when he amassed a total catch of 979kg during a marathon 50-hour non-stop fishing session.He told Angling International: “Based on my experience over the years, I understand that carp easily detect the artificial flavours used in boilie preparation where all the raw materials are based on cereals that have been nurtured by chemical fertilizers or other basic materials that are preserved using chemicals.
“Starting from this point, we began working on the development of a new range and put in place the basics for The One family of boilies made of more natural/sustainable ingredients – and we have achieved that goal judging by results in carp fishing competitions. We tested this with the very best teams on the same lake, fishing close to each other, and our bait proved to make a difference.”
The new ingredient comes from fly farms where the flies and larvae are dehydrated and transformed into insect meal which contains good levels of amino acids and proteins that fish instantly recognise and consume. “The real difference happens in the water when you are baiting with The One,” explains Micula.
“Fish eat the bait quickly, giving anglers an advantage because they will consume a lot and stay in location for longer, ensuring anglers catch more. Fish recognise the amino acids, proteins and saturated fats and will keep feeding. At the end of the day our main target – as competitors – is to catch more fish and win more tournaments. The One is a special one when it comes to that.”
Micula adds that the boilie has important ‘green’ credentials. “I believe that it is time to pay attention to healthy fish and to understand how we can develop baits that are more natural, easy to digest and don’t create problems for fish eating artificial substances.
“Sustainable/natural ingredients are better for the health of the fish and do not pollute the water with chemicals like artificial colourants and flavours. The One fills that criteria – and its catch rate is the best!”
The One comes in a large variety of sizes in boiled or soluble versions.
The Carp Expert Double Tip rods have become extremely popular among anglers due to their versatility and the endless possibilities they offer, making them one of the most favored rods in the assortment. I personally experienced this versatility with the redesigned Max2 Double Tip rods, as one day I was fishing for bream with a long line and a 75g feeder, and two days later, on a different section of river, I was battling wild river fish with the same rod, fighting in the dense vegetation in...

Who knows me knows that from this year, I have the honor to fish under the colors of the Energofish team, which offers the opportunity to be the first to test and try out the products they distribute. You should know that before a product reaches the store shelves, it goes through numerous tests, and this is true for almost everything: groundbaits, lures, rods, reels… I have mostly encountered Benzar Mix products in this way so far. Allow me to share with you the experiences from three...
PVA products aren’t new accessories in carpfishing, because they have been available on the market for quite a while now. 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...
