Equipment

Our boat is a Faster 555 (5.6 m long, made in 2010) with a Honda 90 hp outboard motor. The boat can accommodate six charter customers and four fishing customers. Legally the boat can carry up to six customers and it is ideal for both charters as well as trolling and casting.
The floor of the boat is upholstered, making it nice for bare feet on a hot day. The back can be equipped with a detachable and comfortable "sofa". One customer can sit on a seat next to the driver. The front of the boat can be equipped with two lounge chairs or a 100-litre cooler box with a sitting cushion on it.
There's a radio/cd/mp3 player system in the boat. You can attach your own mp3 player to it with an aux cable.
There's a Humminbird side-imaging fish finder / plotter combo as well as a separate echo sounder. The side-imaging system can produce quite graphic images of the bottom of the lake and objects resting on it, making it popular among people looking for sunken ships, boats and planes. The center console is equipped with 20 rod holders for trolling and casting.
By removing the sofa and the storage boxes under it, we can make room for four lounge chairs on the boat. In that case we can take five customers on board. We also have a detachable ladder that makes it easier to climb in and out of the boat. They can also be used if you want to take a swim right from the boat.
For a more "heavy duty" casting we use Daiwan Vulcan XX 8" rods and Shimano Sedona 4000 reels with monofilament lines. For jigging by casting and light spinners we use Yoshino Jig’n Pro 6.6" rods and Daiwa Legalis 2000 reels with braided lines. For vertigal jigging we use Savage Gear Vertical Finesse 6" rods and Daiwa Megaforce 100 TSHL reels with braided lines. Our main target fish in casting are zander, pike and perch.
For jigging by casting we use mainly KP Softbait jigs.
For vertical jigging we use Lunker City Finn S Fish, Quantum Hairy Mary and Savage Gear jigs. Also casting jigs are suitable for vertical jigging.
For Drop Shot jigging we use mainly Lunker City Finn S Fish and Savage Gear jigs. The Drop Shot method can be applied to both vertical jigging and jigging by casting.
For trolling we use 7000 Series trolling reels with 7- and 8-feet rods and monofilament lines. On our trolling trips we'll use ten rods. Out main target fish in trolling are zander, pike, perch, salmon and brown trout.
For trolling we use small planer boards and different kinds of divers and sinkers.
