FOAM LURES

HAVE ACTION OF BALSA

New mixed special foam lures have great action scandinavianfishing magazine Balsa has been used as material for quality wobblers for long time. Manufacturing process of Balsa wobblers has several steps which takes time and increase expenses. The qualities of balsa wobbler, durability and attractive swimming can be also achieved by using foam technology. Lately, new kinds of foam wobblers have been taking root in market. In manufacturing pro-

cess of balsa wobbler, one very important step is to ensure that wobbler can withstand the bite of predator. This step takes long time to complete and has been increasing costs. When wobbler is made of special mixed foam, its surface becomes very hard, yet interior of the wobbler stays porous, but still very hard. That keeps weight of the wobbler light and swimming action vey attractive.

Own model?

Creating a new model using foam technology happens very fast. First, have to model the wobbler and try what kind of diving lip fits the new model. When the body has got its right diving lip and hooks, new molds will be made. In addition to molds, size, material and strength of the main wire will be defined. Molds are determined according to material used. When molds are ready, the manufacturing of wobbler can begin

SWIMMING ACTION Did you know that swimming action of the foam wobbler can be adjusted according to weather? Traditionally, in Scandinavia, fishers think, that according to season, wobbler must have either strong or sensitive swimming action. When using foam wobbler, this is easy to do, even in the midst of fishing.

S c a n d i n a v i a n t a c k l e . c o m

DIVING LIP Diving lip can not be made of traditional plastic, because it should be suitably flexible in the case of bottom contact. Many fishermen respect easy adjusting of diving lip when there haven’t been any bites.

GATOR

THRILLS AND RATTLES scandinavianfishing magazine

BLIND GATOR likes to thrill with its astonishing hologram sides. Extra delightment is provided by rattling balls inside, which send underwater courtship signals, alluring attention-seeking beautys. Euphoric sounds and delightful hologram is just too much to resist.

To complete hooking, VMC hooks have been added. 15 colors.

Ice TENT PROVIDES PROTECTION Many times, the problem of the icefisher is the cold weather. This problem can be solved by using ice tent. A tent provides protection against wind and snow. The floor is open to make it easy to drill a hole. Many fishermen get a heater inside the tent to create some extra atmosphere. Our selection has many types of ice tents, from basic tents to pop-up open tents and sledge tents.

ACE OF SPADES

BALANCED JIG TAIL WITH PURE NUTRIA TAIL

scandinavianfishing magazine

Balance jig has been a basic lure of Finnish ice fishing for a long time, but nowadays its popularity is not only limited to ice fishing and to Finland. Balance jigs have now found their way to people’s hearts outside Finland also.

In countries like Russia and USA many fishermen now desire for balance jigs.

Right kind of hair gives the jig an exciting action. Nutrias are natural in very cold water, that’s why texture of nutria hair is just like designed for ice fishing.

Nutria hair is very durable and lasts many times longer than typical artificial hair. Hair used in our Asseri Ace

8

of Spades mini balance jig is a real nutria hair imported from EU. Material in these mini balance jigs is alloy of lead and type metal. Type metal makes the lure harder, therefore more durable.

Ice fishing is definitely an art form, but almost as important as skill, is the attractiveness of painting of the bait, that’s why we always pay attention to even smallest details in our products.

Nevertheless, painting being attractive is not enough. No customer wants to have a product paint falling off in short time. Nowadays, as everyone with ex-

S c a n d i n a v i a n t a c k l e . c o m

perience in the business knows, the quality of painting is problem too often. Asseri Ace of Spade balance jig is coated and painted with CAB coatings and colors imported from Finland to guarantee the quality for demanding markets. Finally, to finalize the checklist, it’s essential to pay attention to the quality of the hooks. We always use Japanese VMC hooks to guarantee the end product is something that customer is happy to buy once again.

Hooks of Ace of Spade are not barbed, allowing fisher to take fish faster off the hook.

scandinavianfishing magazine

Fishing with balanced jig demands constant action. Lure has to be kept in constant motion with either short quick bobs or with long sedate bobs.

On the new hole an excellent way to add a few more jumbo perch to the bucket is to allow the lure to bounce off the bottom of the lake. After this it is good to have few strong bobs before positioning lure about 30 cm from bottom.

Asseri Ace of Spades also works well at summertime for boat- or pier fishing.

IS BaD SMELL GooD?

Are scented baits really useful? Can fish even smell these scents? These questions have been asked several times by fishermen around the world.

Lot of scientific research has been done on the fish’s ability to sense different scents. These studies have clearly shown that fish can not only smell, but studies have proven that olfaction (sense of smell) of the fish is actually very developed. Fish uses its olfaction for navigating, searching food, detecting enemy and recognizing its own species. Some species can navigate huge distances using their olfaction. Salmon, for instance, navigates back to its home river for spawning by using olfaction.

When fish closes in on the bait, many fish e.g. bass, often do the final decision to strike based on the smell of the bait.

Most of fish have actually better sense of smell than dogs. Bass, for example is able to smell 1000 times better than an average dog. That’s why attention should be paid to not let the bait in contact with so called “negative smells”, which include gasoline, cigarette, lubricants, sweat and some scents of the animals which eat fish. Fisher should also be careful about throwing just caught fish back to same place where it was caught, because according to some researches some species emit a chemical which

other fish reads as a “negative smell” and stop eating.

REAL FISH OIL INSIDE We have scented our many baits in manufacturing process with smell of real fish. BLIND Shaker Concept softbaits are scented with oil imitating real fish oil. Studies show, that this scent attracts fish very well.

SEVERAL SCENTS We have many scents available; mostly used scents in our selection are fish liver, fishoil, chicken liver and shrimp. Additionally, also sweet scents, like strawberry, caramel and banana are available.

MORMYSHKAS scandinavianfishing magazine

Russians have invented mormyshka for their beloved winter sport – ice fishing. Good mormyshka, despite its small size is heavy, and has a sharp thin wire hook because e.g. one of the best baits, blood worm, is difficult to put on to thick hook. Small body must have enough weight, which is obtained by using heavy metals i.e. tungsten (wolfram) or lead. In high quality mormyshkas, metal used is always tungsten.

As a material, tungsten is better than lead, no matter how you look at it.

OUR MORMYSHKAS Our mormyshkas are all made in EU and material is 100% tungsten. Market is full of mormyshkas which are made of tungsten mixed with other metals.

Quality of those is not comparable to those made of 100% tungsten.

Hook of the Asseri mormyshka is attached by using technology which prevents hooks come loose and spinning. Which, unfortunately, is not a

Tungsten has higher density, therefore weighs 1.7 times more than lead and is also very strong, stronger than average stainless steel. Thanks to its larger weight to size ratio, tungsten mormyshka doesn’t only sink faster, but its much easier and quicker to detect a bite when using tungsten jig, specially in deeper water. Heavy weight pulls back more on line, allowing fisher to retain the contact and feel of the mormyshka, giving more control over it.

Tungsten mormyshka also penetrates heavy weeds better than those made of lead.

case with many others. Unlike most producers, who use gold, silver and copper imitation for plating, our gold, silver and copper plated mormyshkas use real gold, silver and copper for plating.

Beads used are real Swarovski crystal beads from Germany.

“Mormyshka (or Mormishka, or Marmooska) is a sort of fishing lure or a jig. The word is derived from Russian word Mormysh - that means Freshwater Shrimp (Gammarus).

Mormyshka was invented in the 19th century in Russia. The prototypes were big spoon lures used for ice fishing. Trying to imitate shrimps, anglers made lures smaller and changed the way of fixing them on the line. As a result, efficient lures appeared and were spread quickly among ice fishermen all around Russia and Scandinavia.”

VACUUM PACKING KEEPS FRESH TASTE Vacuum packing is a method of storing food in an airless vacuum environment, usually in an airtight bag or a canister bottle to prevent the growth of aerobic bacteria or fungi and preventing the evaporation of volatile components. Vacuum sealing also keeps the fresh taste very long. That’s the main reason why around 70% of Scandinavian hunters and fishers vacuumpack their catch. Almost any kind of food can be preserved, including smoked fish and meat as well as fresh fish and meat. Vacuum packing has become very popular almost all over the world.

the food from exposure to the cold, dry air. Moist foods won’t dry out, because there’s no air to absorb the moisture from the food.

Dry, solid foods, such as brown sugar, won’t become hard, because they don’t come in contact with air and therefore can’t absorb moisture from the air.

Foods that are high in fats and oils won’t become rancid, because there’s no oxygen coming in contact with the fats, which causes the rancid taste and smell. Insect infestation is eliminated, because insects require oxygen to survive and hatch

WHY VACUUM PACKING?

Our vacuum sealers have been very popular e.g. in the demanding markets of Finland and getting more popular in other countries also. Sealers are very high in quality and very competitive in price compared to competitors.

These sealers can vacuum preserve food in vacuum bags, canisters and marinator bowls. Winestoppers are also available.

Foods maintain freshness and flavor 3-5 times longer than with conventional storage methods, because they don’t come in contact with air and oxygen. Foods maintain their texture and appearance, because microorganisms such as bacteria, mold and yeast can not grow in a vacuum.

Freezer burn is eliminated, because foods no longer become dehydrated from contact with cold, dry air. When foods are frozen without preparation, freezer burn can occur. Freezer burn happens when the surface of the food is dehydrated and this leads to a dried and leathery appearance.

Freezer burn also ruins the flavor and texture of food. Vacuum packing prevents freezer burn by preventing 16

QUICK HOW TO DO Prepare meat or fish normally before packing. After that, take suiutable size vacuum bag or cut suitable piece from vacuumbag roll.

If you use vacuumbag roll, seal the other side of the piece you cut. Put the food inside the vacuumbag making sure that there is some empty space on both sides of the food for air to get out. Also check that inner surface of the open end of the bag is clean and dry. Place the open end in the sealer and close the lid properly from both sides. Vacuum and seal the bag with one press of a button. After this vacuumed food should be refrigerated od freeze in three hours time.

Tip: When vacuumpacking fish, many users wrap it into waxpaper before vacuuming.

You can also vacuumpack your dryfoods, matchsticks or other items need to keep dry when in the wild

FISHING COMBOS SELL WELL

AND WE DESIGN AND PACK THEM WELL Department stores, supermarkets, DIY stores, chain stores and also specialized stores want more versatile combos in their selection. Many times, for combos, the price is more important factor than the quality. However, what ever is packed inside the combo, the most important factor is the looks. If the design is nice, the product sells.

SOFTLURE KITS FOR SUPERMARKETS One of the best selling items of supermarkets’ fishing department is a basic jigging set. The same style 40-piece blister set was for sale by many suppliers and basically only way to compete was the price. Our customer wanted to stick out and asked for our ideas.

WIDE RANGE OF EXPERTISE We have wide range of expertise in creating combos. First we gather the products to be combined, after that we design packing, decide how to pack products inside and design the artwork. For that, we have all the latest designing- and drawing software, photographing equipment and 3Dsoftware. After design is completed it will be sent to customer for evaluation and approval. When the result is high on standards, it will show right in the sales of succeeding year.

PHOTOS We always take print-ready photos of the product for customer. This way, many times, money will be saved and salesmen can start their job earlier.

Many today’s buyers buy basic products on the basis of photos, that’s why importance of good photos is significant.

Mormyshkas are very small, which makes them difficult to sell. At the request of the customer, we designed new blister packing with 10 different products, added alarm sticker inside and welded the blister. Result: happy customer with remarkable increase in sales.

FLY FISHING SET

In co-operation with the customer, we designed a new look for this inexpensive product. We added a clear pictures of the fish the set was designed for, improved overall design and added more information about the product.

Customer was happy and so were their customers. We also redesigned lure sets with similar success.

Here some examples of our cooperation in building combos with our customers.

Fly fishing sets often cause frustration. Good fly fishing set consists of decent carbon fiber rod, strong aluminum reel, base line, fly line, leader and possibly flies.

Also, need understanding how to tie three different kinds of lines to each other.

Together with customer, we defined specifications for each component. After we shipped all the components to same place, where they were packed under the supervision of the specialist. As a result, customer wanted exclusive rights to his area for our fly fishing sets.

Finland’s largest ourdoor magazine, Erä tested Asseri Power Auger in their 2012 January issue. It got lot of praise for its very easy ignition. The auger had started easily in any weather. The test was conducted in several weather conditions and ice conditions. The auger had penetrated ice with ease in all the conditions. Lot of good things were said, but also one thing was criticized.

The weight of the Asseri Power Auger is little bit heavier than its rivals, but when consumer price is around 50% lower, I think that is acceptable.

EVA BOOTS

VERY WARM AND LIGHT scandinavianfishing magazine

EVA HAS BECAME ONE OF the most popular materials for WINTER BOOTS

In the past few years EVA has gained a huge popularity as a material for winter boots. It’s excellent thermal qualities and lightness has made it very wanted material. An extra plus is very affordable price.

Manufacturing EVA boot is not as easy task as it might sound. Manufacturing Crocs style summer sandals and winter boots is two totally different things. For winter boots, cold weather and problems it causes must be considered. Thickness of the EVA material must be right. Pressure, temperature and heating time in manufacturing 22

process are very important.

Material of the lining gives the boot its finishing touch, which gives the boot good thermal features.

Winter boot should have strong outsole with good antiskid properties.

Since shape of the foot is different in different parts of the world It’s good to remember to make sure that foot part is wide enough for the end user.

To keep feet dry, good winterboot should have a snowlock to avoid snow getting inside.
