Since, always I liked to get my hands dirty, to create and wreck all sorts, especially if they were connected with fishing. I’m not modest, and I will admit I was pretty talented when it came to the meticulous stuff. I started by making my own lures, when lures were still scarce in Romania. Rod building was the natural evolution, considering I always found things I didn’t like about the rods I was buying. If others could do it, I knew I could also. Therefore, ambitious by nature, I ended up making my first rod, sometime in the spring of 2006… The rest is history :). Andrei Sava – rod builder, World Champion at fishing predators from boat FIPS.

Prizes and Strategy
Lapland Pike aims to be one of the year's nicest fishing meet ups. It will be two “ordinary” days of fishing-but with an element of competition, and plenty of opportunities to meet new fishing buddies in a great atmosphere. We do not have any sponsors or outside influence, so we do not have to spend hours doing the volunteer-work the sponsor hunt requires.
Since the prizes are directly related to interest, and number of registered teams, it now feels safe for the organizer, Blåvikens FVO, to increase them:
· Winning team: 7000 SEK cash
· Best team – opposite class (Kayak – Boat): 3500 SEK worth of merchandise
· Individual price – Longest pike: 3500 SEK worth of merchandise
