Report from Jonas & Mats Christmas gift

Mats Olsson and trout 10.1kg

Jonas Bergqvist and Salmon 9.3kg

Mats Olsson and salmon 11.6kg (C&R)

I got today report from Team Stream Christmas day fantastic triple. 3 Fish middleweight is incredible 10,33kg!!! and it was maybe somekind record?

"Fantastic VK fishing

I was out fishing on Lake Vänern on Christmas day outside Åmål with my friend Mats Olsson, we tried our new VK bait holders and the VK 2 flasher on the downriggers. There was a lot of baitfish on the fish finder and we could observed a fish rise from 17-18 meters going up to the downrigger baits, probably taking a good look on the UV248 VK2 flasher and after a short while after this, less than a minute, the reel started to scream high. Fish on! Mats faught the fish and after 30 min we could take a good look at the fish in the boat. It was a big trout of 95 cm length and 10.1 kilo. It was a personal record for Mats and the fish took a VK bait holder clear UV100, line in right side centre hole. We quickly turned back and after passing the spot where the trout took our VK bait - a big fish is on again, this time I’m holding the rod. The fish was all up in the air 3-4 times and gave me a fantastic fight, almost jumping over the planer board line at one time. After a while we could bring it in the boat, nice 9,3 kilo Salmon with a length of 87 cm, perfect condition. VK bait holder named SS03 "PLO" with line on left side centre hole on the surface with 30gr lead. Then after a few hours later with no activity we were just about to stop for the day, another big fish is on. Mats are fighting the fish, after a long fight we can lift it in the boat. We could see it was a wild Salmon - we quickly took out the hooks, in order to release it back in the water. We made a quick weight of the fish still in the net - after reduction of the net holder we could determine the final weight to impressive 11.6 kilo. Before it was released we took one quick photo. This time the Salmon took VK Baitholder chrome 734, inner left hole, surface with 20 gr lead.

We are both impressed of the VK products, all the different ways to do line settings in the VK bait holders and colours will help us to catch fish. We could see on the fish finder several times when a big fish raised from bottom or elsewhere to start follow and look at the VK2 flasher on the downriggers, we a pretty sure the attractive movements of the VK2 flasher was the main reason!

Best regards
Jonas"

Congratulations Jonas & Mats on a fantastic Christmas gift and thanks for the great report!

"Another VK-Victory"

Janne Fettenas JUL LAXEN 2008 competition was held today, which was the Swedish year's coldest day for trolling. The morning temperature was 17 degrees below zero, and inspite of the cold and ice 17 brave hearted boat teams took part. Their goal was to catch the biggest fish in the competition and win this years title of Jul Laxen Champion. This year's winner was Team Sportfiske Akademin with team members Lollo, Lilleman, Krille. Their winning fish was a salmon that weighed 5.96 kg. The fish was caught using a watermelon VK Raksi bait holder, and Lollo says that was the bait that worked best today.

Congratulations

Team Hooked report

Hi Mika

As you know our team consists of 6 members and on Saturday we had our own team competition. We were 3 boats and we fished Brommö NV in Vänern. The rules were simple, only VK products were to be used. The results were great!

Cameron’s boat took 6 salmon giving them a full pot and 1st place. Best was the down rigger at 30ft with a small silver taped VK flasher and a Stensson colour bait holder. The biggest fish they caught was 85cm long and weighed 7.8kg.

Leif’s boat took 2nd place. They had 4 salmon in the cooler, 5 under size and put back a wild salmon around 80cm. Best for them was UV bait holders. They started the day with a double header that gave them 2 immediately in the cooler.

Peter’s boat took 3rd placing. They had 2 salmon in the cooler and 4 under size. Best for them was a VK baitholder that was painted black with one small white eye on each side. In Sweden this is called a “Bullens”. Their biggest fish was also an 85cm long salmon That weighed 7.1kg

As you can see the results were very good. Between our 3 boats we took home 12 salmon and nothing but VK baitholders and flashers were used.

Report from Martin

Terve Mika!

It was a great day on Lake Vänern yesterday! Me and my friend Tomas went out for a pleasuretrip in Mellerud. The total catch was 4 fish in the cooler and one small and a couple of lost ones. All fish took on baitfish with VK-rax, the two bigger fish took the UV-purple head on the downrigger at 24 feet. The rest of the fish took on VK-rax coulor number 737 with 10-20 gram lead on the surface. The fish was 6,0kg 6,5kg 9,12kg and 9,37kg. I am really impressed of the variety of action you can give your baits with these heads. I wish you a merry christmas and a happy new year and of course a great next season on the water!
Best Regards and a lot of bent rods from

Laxcup Vättern

The competition for me together with Ove didn’t go as well as hoped. We unfortunately were not in the right place at the right time. It seemed the salmon were in very small spots and we didn’t find those spots. On Saturday we had lots of strikes resulting in many small fish. On Sunday we lost one good size salmon just before netting. That is fishing :-)

I would like to thank Ove and Dan, I had a very nice trip with them and they are both real professionals. It was a very good experience to fish with them.I would like to congratulate Team Scandinavian Sportfishing/Predator for second place. They have my friend Eric as one of the crew and they caught 3 nice salmon on Saturday and all took VK-Baitholders in the UV blue colour. Thanks for tip, we had that good size salmon on Sunday on that same colour baitholder. On Sunday they caught 2 more salmon and took second place in that competition. Nice work, well done!

VK-Products release the new bigger model VK-Salmon 2 Flasher. The new model is 24cm long and has many good strike colors. During testing this season in Finland this "Secret Weapon" produced excellent results. Just like the smaller model it has superb irregular movement causing fish to bite more often.
VK-Trolling will have a small amount of the new big flasher as well as the small one at the Laxcup Suzuki Competition, and those that are first can choose between many attractive colours. There will also be many colours of baitholders and some exciting new ones available there as well. The new big flasher will also be coming to our dealers soon!

See you at the Laxcup Suzuki Competition
