Ovo je mesto gde će vaš utisak i ocena o štapu iz samogradnje koji ste kupili moći da vide svi posetioci sajta, uz slike ulova koje dostavite.
Za sada, ovde su utisci za štapove koje sam koristim i kojih će biti sve manje u odnosu na utiske onih koji su preuzeli štapove i koji će s vremenom prevladati.
This is the place where your impression and rating on the custom made rod will be in sight to all web site visitors, with the pictures of catches supplied.
So far, here are my assessments of rods I use myself, which will certainly cease in time, in favour of customers’ impressions that will hopefully outnumber.
No0, 9ft, #5, Ribnik, 2020; Gradac, 2022
Ovaj štap sa strunom #5 je ekstra-brz, ali za jaku, veliku vodu pokazao se izvrsnim i nije imao problem ni za vrlo teške nimfe, niti za pristojno velike i u takvoj vodi vrlo jake lipljene. Ipak, neophodno je za štap takve snage i brzine podesiti unapred ili neposredno po uspešnoj „kontri“ vrlo precizno kočnicu čekrka, posebno kad se lovi sitim mušicama finim predvezom kakav je na „tehničkim“ vodama neizbežan.
This rod is extra-fast with the line #5 and it showed exquisitely for high water and strong water current. Easily fished very heavy nymphs and played decently big and strong grayling. Nevertheless, for such a rod it is a must to adjust very precisely the reel brake in advance, or immediately after setting the hook, especially when fishing with tiny dry flies on the very fine tippet inevitable on such „technical“ waters.
No2, 7 ft, #5, Radovanjka, 2021.
Brz i jak, ali kratak štap, lako baca vrlo teške nimfe sa tungsten glavom „vodenim zabačajima“ ili sa obrasle obale, roll i switch bacanjem, kad pozadi nije moguće mahati. Na otvorenom, dobro izbacuje strunu #5.
Fast and strong, though short rod, easily casts very heavy tungsten-head nymphs by „water casts“, or from overgrown shore by roll- and switch-casting, when haul-casting is impossible. At open banks, casts well line #5.
No3, 9 ft, #4, Temštica, 2022; Gradac, 2022
Ovo je brz i lagan štap veoma finog vršnog dela koji omogućava da se i sa tankim vršnim predvezom love vrlo krupne ribe pri srednjim i malim vodostajima. Sve vrste zabačaja srednje-teških i lakih nimfi i čak i otežanih strimera lako se izvode njime, a posebno je zadovoljstvo loviti suvim muvama.
This is a fast and light rod with the very fine tip section enabling fishing of large fish using the very fine tippet, at medium and high water levels. All kinds of casts with the medium and light nymphs, but also the moderately weighted streamers are easy to perform, while dry-fly fishing with it is a true pleasure.
No6, 9ft, #4, Gradac i Ribnik, 2022
Prvi Goranov utisak nakon lova ovom pravom „četvorkom“ je odličan, iako je u bacanju nešto drugačiji od štapa No. 3 napravljenog na istom blanku opremljenom jednostopnim provodnicima: nešto je manje brz, ali je precizan i „divan za bacanje“. Goranovim rečima, „sve što treba radi odlično, a moji stariji štapovi iste klase deluju kao močuge“.
First Goran’s impression after fishing with this true #4 rod is excellent, though it is slightly different in casting from rod No. 3 crafted on the same blank and equipped with the single-foot guides: it is a bit slower, but precise and „lovely for casting“. In Goran’s words, „it does excellently everything and my older rods of that same class feel like clubs“.
No7, 8 ft 6 in, #5, Crni Timok, 2022; Slough Creek, Wyoming, 2022
Ova „petica“ pokazala se na vrlo jakoj vodi odlično u zabacivanju i vođenju tungsten nimfi glava od 3.8 mm i 3.3 mm. U jedinom javljanju prvog dana na vodi „upisala se“. Snaga pri zamaranju, kao i zabacivanje suve mušice na veliku daljinu potpuno su zadovoljili na dalekim vodama za koje je ovaj štap namenski i pravljen. Štap je za tu klasu izuzetno lak.
This #5 rod was extraordinary on the very strong current in casting and fishing with the 3.8 mm and 3.3 mm tungsten head nymphs. In the only occasion that first day on the water it „signed in“. Rod’s playing ability as well as the distant casting of dries proved on the distant destination for which it was crafted for. The rod is very light for that class.
No8, 9ft, #4, Ribnik, 2022, 2023
Ovo je veoma lagan štap jako osetljivog vrha koji mušičarsku strunu #4 (Rio Trout DT) baca bez ikakvog napora na veliku daljinu i sa velikom tačnošću. Pri celodnevnom ribolovu i mnogobrojnim zabačajima ne umara ruku, podiže sa vode i do 20 m strune radi novog zabačaja, a pritom pri kontri uspeva da sačuva vršni predvez debljine 0.10 mm (7X) i na kraćim i na dužim rastojanjima. Kakav je prilikom izvlačenja krupnih ulova, vidi se sa slika napravljenih nakon toga.
This is very light rod of the very sensitive tip that casts fly line #4 (Rio Trout DT) effortlessly to great distance and with great accuracy. In a whole day of fishing and myriad of casts it doesn’t make the casting hand tired. It lifts easily 20 m of fly line from water for a new cast and keeps the 0.10 mm, i.e., 7X tippet intact on hook settings at both short and long distances. Its playing capabilities regarding the bigger fish are obvious from the photographs made afterwards.
No9, 6 ft 6in, #2, akumulacija Trešnja, 2022
Tek što je štap napravljen i isporučen, Slobodan je njime ulovio nekoliko bodorki i napisao mi da se „odlično pokazao“ i da je „baš prezadovoljan“ njime, te da se uskoro nada i nekoj pastrmki. Ako je izvukao onu bodorku dužu od rukohvata štapa, ne bi trebalo da bude problema ni sa manjim pastrmkama.
Immediately after its crafting, Slobodan has caught several roach using it and messaged to me that the rod „showed up excellently“ and that he is „truly pleased with it“, and he hopes to some brown trout soon, as well. If he landed that roach as long as a rod’s handle, small trout should be either not a problem.
No10, 10 ft 6 in, #3/4, Lim, 2023
Nenad je posle solidnog lipljena-prvenca ulovljenog sredinom avgusta nenadano sredinom septembra poslao fotografiju lepog skobalja kao neobičan drugi ulov ostvaren nimfom fazanov rep i štapom koji je uzeo. Iako mu je bilo krivo što su dve mladice rasterale skobalje i nije više bilo ulova, meni je drago što je napisao da se „štap igrao s“ skobaljem. Želim mu i nadalje da se igra do mile volje i uživa opet u lepim ulovima tim štapom.
After the mid-August grayling he caught firstly, Nenad suddenly sent a photo of nice nase as a peculiar second catch in mid-September on the Pheasant Tail nymph, using his custom-made rod. Although he minded the two huchen blew nase leaving him without any other catch, I am pleased that he wrote the rod „played with“ nase. I wish him to continue playing as much as he can and enjoy again nice catches with that rod.
No11, 9 ft, #3/4, Lim, 2023, 2024
Ovaj umereno brzi štap pokazao se u svom prvom izlasku na vodu ulovima lipljena na suvu mušicu, a onda i krupnih plotica na nimfu kad se lipljen povukao zbog tople vode. Ocenjen je kao vrlo lagan i ugodan, kako u pogledu težine, tako i u pogledu lakoće bacanja DT4F strune.
This moderately fast rod on its first on-the-water event showed with the catches of grayling on dries, and then large Danube roach on the nymph when grayling retreated owing to water warming. It was characterised as very light and easy, both regarding its weight and ease of casting the DT4F fly line.
No12, 8 ft 6in, #4, San, Poljska, 2024
U prvom izlasku Srđan se novim štapom „upisao“ u izvorišnom delu reke San u Poljskoj. Glavni problem je bio napraviti snimak, pošto su svi iz društva bili udaljeni, pa su ovo jedini za sad ovekovečeni ulovi. Znači, što se pecanja tiče, sve ide kako treba.
At first fishing Srđan has „signed in“ on the headwater section of the River San in Poland. The problem was making the shot, since everyone was away on the water and these were the only catches recorded. As for the fishing, everything was as it should be.
No13, 9 ft, #3, Ribnik, 2024
Iako je voda bila malo previsoka i prejaka za štap te snage, ribolovom suvom mušicom pokazao je svoju izrazitu lakoću, osetljivost i preciznost prilikom bacanja, a sasvim dovoljnu snagu pri zamaranju čak i vrlo krupnog lipljena kao što je ovaj od 40 cm u tim uslovima. Jedino što je sve trajalo nešto duže i tražilo strpljenje. Kad vodostaj bude pao na letnji i lipljeni ne budu imali na raspolaganju toliko vode za borbu, on će u potpunosti biti „na svome“.
Although water was a bit too high and current too strong for that class rod, in fishing with the dry fly it revealed its tremendous lightness, sensitivity and preciseness in casting, with the sufficient strength in playing even the very large grayling like this one of 40 cm (almost 16″) in length. Though, the playing lasted somewhat longer and asked for patience. On the summer water level leaving grayling without that much room for struggle, it will be on its own.
No15, 9 ft, #5, Sava Bohinjka, 2025
Kako je i napisano za ovaj štap-brat štapa No0 , pokazalo se i na vodi: dobro je sa odgovarajućim vršnim predvezom bacao suve mušice, a kad nije bilo javljanja na površini, bez muke i oveće strimere, a rezultati se vide na slikama koje su priložene uz izveštaj sa Save Bohinjke s kraja ovog leta.
As was stated for this rod, a sibling of the rod No0, it revealed on the fishing venue: with an appropriate tippet it casted well dry flies and when no trout rose, it casted bigger streamers effortlessly. The results are images accompanied to the report from the River Sava Bohinjka this late Summer.
