Kanalgratis, the well known Swedish channel has gained a huge audience throught two great fishing competition shows: one for pike (Fly vs. Jerk) and another dedicated to perch (Perch Pro). In 2021, they're back with a new one centered on another great European predator: it's time for a Zander Pro!
We wanted to combine the high level of technical design one can reach with our Rodhouse products with the wide availability of Fiiish lures. We have a lot in common, and we really share a vision of fishing, so it was only natural to combine the strength of our two French companies to build a team and enter that first edition of the Zander Pro.
It took 6 months of work to get the Team where we wanted, six months to plan for any contingency, to get intel about the spots, and to define a strategy against the always sharp Northern teams. Our own crew was made of our best Zander hunters, Tony for Rodhouse and Stéphane for Fiiish.
The rules are simple. The teams may fish wherever they want in Europe for 3 days, and each day 3 points are given: one for the number of fish caught, one for the biggest, and one for the longuest op 5 fish. Each day has, the teams must fish in a given situation, and techniques are regulated. Day one is linear fishing on boats (no vertical). Day 2 is shore fishing. Day 3: anything goes. The team with the highest score at the end of the 3 days wins the Zander Pro.
