Team VK-Trolling came home earlier than planned, because of gale force winds and the Kållandsö Competition was postponed two weeks to November 7 - 9.
The Sunnanå Competition was also effected by strong winds, but the teams did manage to get 1.5 fishing days in. On the first competition day our team lost a huge salmon that we estimate being over ten kilos. On the first run it took fifty metres and during the long and exciting fifteen-minute fight it jumped out of the water three times. It ended up getting caught on another bait from one of our rods and suddenly it was gone! THAT’S FISHING! Our final position was 15th, but if we had landed that salmon we would have won the competition. Maybe next time it is caught it will be bigger and make someone very happyJ The big one took a clear UV coloured head with a 100g weight on the side planer. We had adjusted the bait to give us a small swimming circle.
We took a salmon trout weighing over 3kg in both the training day and the second day of the competition. We also had a number of bites and caught a few pike. We maybe might come back to Sweden to fish the Kinnekulle Competition in 2009.
We would like to thank everyone for the warm reception we got in Sweden and the competition officials for a well organised competition in tough conditions.
For VK-products this trip was very good. We met a lot of nice Swedish fishermen and we also got four new fishing stores who want to start selling our products. Below is the updated list of Swedish stores, but we are adding some more in the near future. Ask the shop near you. We are planning to do some special bait holders in the favourite Swedish colours for wobblers and plugs and hopefully they will be in the shops in Sweden soon. The new VK salmon2 flasher will be on the market in about 2-3 weeks, so ask for it in the store near you.
