Crazy Fish
Crazy Fish is a Ukrainian brand of spinning rods, most popular for their light weight, sensitivity and very fast blank action. In 2022, it was the peak year for these rods, when they arrived in Lithuania at very good prices and delighted anglers with their amazing sensitivity and lightness. It should be acknowledged that sensitivity comes at a price. Most CF rods cannot be overloaded and we do not recommend it.
The Crazy Fish Arion is the most sensitive series of rods, with a very low weight and fast blank. Maybe even a little too fast in some cases. And the rod up to 7g casts very well, it is extremely sensitive, but it is more suitable for large perch or sturgeon than for 100g perch, which the blank just doesn't handle. For test up to 12g, the Arion is an excellent choice for spring and summer sturgeon in the Kaunas lagoon with 3" elastics. It is tough enough to easily knock a sturgeon over. Arion also produces quite unique long rods for jigging from the shore. The 2.9m Arion spinning rod is really light enough and extremely sensitive to be fun to jig for sturgeon from the shore. And let's not forget the bream, Arion has the ideal rod for larger bream in a big river. The Arion is 2.8m long up to 14g test. Unlike other models, it is not too bland and will perfectly cushion any catch.
The Crazy Fish Versus is a spinning rod designed for trolling, but most people use it for jigging. It is hard to say why the Ukrainians decided that for trolling they needed such a long and fast action rod. Such rods are ideal for jigging, but not for twitching. Twich anglers usually prefer shorter and more flexible rods. Versus are cheaper than Arion rods, but they are also very light and sensitive, so we recommend not overloading them. Over casting a heavy weight, especially in colder weather or when casting into the wind, can be a frustrating experience. Versus has more than 10 different modifications for all tastes.
The Crasy Fish Perfect Jig is the oldest of the CF series of jigs, but still a favourite with anglers. Unlike the Versus, it is a softer and more elastic jig, but it is sensitive and pleasant enough in the hand due to its low weight.
The Crazy Fish Nano series is a series of rods designed for XUL fishing. They are really great and exactly what is needed for those who like to fish with a spinning rod for white, peaceful fish. There is no fault with their durability. They hold up well to large overloads and very rarely need spare parts. There are as many as 10 different versions of the spinning rods, with different handles, rings of different lengths and casts.
