Fishing for catfish is also gaining increasing popularity here in Germany. This is hardly surprising, since this earthy type has developed splendidly in German waters. Beside the classic method of catching them with natural bait, targeted spin fishing for catfish is becoming increasingly popular. No wonder, after all, even smaller catfish provide excellent sport using spin rods and they are not to be sneezed at in terms of their culinary potential. Spin fishing has become an extremely efficient method in places where boats and echo-sounders are not allowed. Together with Jens Koller, who works at Eirg Strehlow’s angling school and is responsible for the section “Spin fishing for catfish” and Atilla Juhasz, who is probably the best known catfish specialist in Hungary, Balzer have developed an innovative, high quality series for successful spin and natural bait fishing for catfish.
