Deaky: no EFTTEX ‘really put a pause on our growth’

Deaky Fishing, one of Europe’s leading manufacturers of angling weights, has been attending EFTTEX since 1998. And the Hungarian brand says as an ever-present at the show since then, it has continually picked up new business.

The company’s Orsolya Deaky told Angling International: “During the pandemic we were not able to meet our current partners or introduce products to new ones. It really put a pause on our growth. The situation did not favour business opportunities.

“We believe that personal interaction is important to build and maintain friendly relations with existing and potential new customers. We are looking forward to being back at EFTTEX.”

Deaky added that it is currently working on extending its markets overseas to cover the US and Canada to add to its strong export base in Europe which includes France, Germany and Italy. “Fortunately, you can find our products almost all over Europe, but we would love to strengthen our market in Greece and Belgium.”

Visitors to its booth in Budapest will see some of Deaky’s best-selling items and its new launches for the upcoming season. These include The Deaky PVA Bag Lead (above) which boasts a cubical shape that protects the bag. The plastic brim on both sides makes it impossible for the tube to fall off or move from the lead and does not harm the fishing line.

Also new from Deaky will be the Method Feeder Inline Basket (below) which has been designed for long-distance method fishing. It can be easily filled by hand without a stuffing tool, although several chargers are available.

Due to its design and weight distribution, it will not twist when cast. The holes at the bottom ensure that the pellets and feed materials inside dissolve quickly.
