The Master Fishing expert team brings together the trading experience with participation in sport and competitive fishing. The company is based on 25 years of experience and knowledge in this field. At the head are Ivaylo Hristov and Rumen Vitkov, world champions in float fishing MASTERS for 2022 year, and around them there are specialists in float, carp, feeder and spinning.

This structure is useful for the angler because different disciplines require different conversation. The choice of Float Rod does not follow the same logic as a heavy bottom fishing or active baiting kit. Therefore, the competent council begins with the method, the fishing venue and the already available tackle, not with a ready answer for each case.

Who are the swimming experts?

Ivaylo Hristov and Rumen Vitkov are the world champions MASTERS for 2022 year. In the „Masterfishing club“, the swimmer line also includes Arkady Raichin, a five-time Republican champion, national team member and winner of WalterLand Masters in the 2022 year. Daniel Vasilev is a multiple winner of the „Arena series carp MITERSON“ for the 2022 year. Drago Ivanov is a swimmer with a special interest in bolognese and river fishing.

This experience covers topics from line control and float selection to nutrient stain preparation. When comparing bait and bait for float, important are the type of fishing venue, current, depth and pace of feeding. The expert can help sort the questions, but the exact mixture and tactics remain dependent on the specific fishing trip.

Who knows carp fishing?

Branimir Balchev - Bino is a member of the national carp catch team and a two-time Republican champion in the discipline. He also consulted fishermen at the shop on bul. „History Slavic-Bulgarian“ 21. Pascal Mitev participates with experience in carp fishing and casting and assists in the presentation and evaluation of Daiwa solutions for this area.

When choosing Carp Rods the conversation must include distance, work casting weight, shore conditions and the rest of the set. Then there's the line, the signaling and ready-made carp mounts and accessories. The approach is systematic: each component is checked for role and compatibility, rather than being evaluated on its own.

Who is in charge of feeder guidance?

Krasimir Sabakhov - Lokalla is a Republican champion in feeder, founder and member of the Sports Fishing Club „Plovdiv 2020“. His knowledge is involved in the development of the feeder section, the selection of goods and the presentation of the Daiwa for this discipline. Pri Feeder Rods expert judgment links distance, casting weight, peaks, and expected load rather than looking for a one-size-fits-all model.

The same context is needed for baits and groundbait bait. The current, depth, bottom composition and rhythm of over-throwing change the practical setting. Consultation is most useful when you bring specific data about the fishing venue and tell what is not working in your current tackle.

Who is the spin specialist?

Stefan Minchev is the chairman of „club Old Otters“, a member of the national spinning team and has been practicing this technique for more than 30 years. It supports the spinning section and the presentation of the Daiwa. Pri Spinning Rods the board can start from the weight and resistance of the lure, the way of keeping, shore access and the necessary control of the line.

After the rod and reel comes the bait. In the collection for silicone lures and jig heads the size, profile and rigging must be matched to the working range of the tackle. Experience helps to set the right boundaries, but does not make a configuration universal for any river, season or type of fish.

How does the club participate in the selection?

The „Master Fishing Club“ develops several teams in different disciplines. Its members participate in the selection of the product spectrum. Outside experts from other clubs complement the knowledge of feeder and spinning. Thus, selection can be viewed through more than one perspective, and Daiwa equipment is discussed according to the specific technique.

How to get more accurate advice?

Prepare five things: discipline, type of fishing venue, usual distance, target fish and a list of available tackle. If there is a problem, describe when it appears: when casting, guiding, indicating, detecting or pulling out. Thus, the expert can separate the setting from the need for a new component and indicate what needs to be measured or compared.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the team only cover float fishing?

Nope. The float is highly represented, but has separate experience in carp, feeder and spinning fishing.

Where can a consultation be sought?

Consultation can be sought in physical stores in Sofia, including at Branimir Balchev's in the site of Blvd. „History Slavic-Bulgarian“ 21.

Is the competitive experience enough for a choice?

It is a valuable foundation, but a good choice requires your context as well. The most useful conversation combines the experience of the specialist with the exact conditions, budget and equipment of the angler.
