Top Hungarian bait maker Energofish has launched a complete new assortment of carp and groundbaits at its home Fehova fishing tackle show in Budapest.
The new Carp Expert bait assortment is built around three clearly defined product families, each targeting a specific consumer segment and angling approach.
SMART – affordable, modern and effective
SMART is designed for beginners and occasional anglers who want dependable performance at a highly accessible price point. This range focuses on value without compromise: modern packaging, popular flavours and colours and formulas that perform reliably in a wide range of waters. SMART covers all major carp fishing techniques with easy‑to‑use, cost‑effective baits that deliver consistent results.
Key products in the range include:
- Uni‑Mix 1000 g groundbait
- Prime Boilie 800g and 2000g
- Classic Method Mix 800g
- Monster Carp Pellet 4.5 mm
NEO – perfect balance of quality and value
NEO is tailored for more experienced anglers who demand higher quality ingredients and refined recipes while still expecting competitive pricing. The range includes boilies, groundbaits, pellets and specialised hookbaits designed for a wide variety of European freshwater environments. Whether fishing with a match rod, pole, classic boilie set-up or in strong river currents, NEO offers a method‑specific solution for every scenario.
The line-up includes:
- Giant Mix 800g – developed for large carp
- StreamX 1000g – river groundbait with strong binding and high nutritional value
- Method Liquid 150ml
- Monster Carp Liquid 250ml
- Pop‑Up and Wafter hookbaits in 6-14mm sizes
PRO – premium performance without compromise
The PRO family represents the highest tier of Carp Expert bait development. Ingredient quality and performance take absolute priority, with less emphasis on price. These products are created for dedicated, passionate anglers and competitive fishermen who demand maximum efficiency and consistency. PRO is the choice for anglers who want every cast to count.
Signature products include:
- Next‑generation PVA sticks
- Big Fish Premium Boilie 800g
- Crumble Pellet Mix
- Premium Method Groundbait 800g
To support its global expansion, Energofish also offers the entire Carp Expert bait range for OEM production, available in mixed pallet quantities. This enables retail partners to integrate the company’s proven formulations into their own label product lines.
A brand growing with the market
The Carp Expert brand is nearly as old as Energofish itself. Today it offers a complete portfolio for carp anglers – from hooks, rods and reels to accessories and now a full bait range. Long established as a favourite among Central European anglers, Carp Expert has also seen strong growth in Western Europe, driven by its method‑focused product philosophy and reliable performance.
Until autumn 2025, Carp Expert primarily included tackle, rods, reels and a limited selection of particle baits such as canned corn. The turning point came at the 2025 EFTTEX show in Brussels, where the brand unveiled its first complete, internally developed bait and groundbait assortment. With this launch, Carp Expert now offers a full, method‑specific bait portfolio for carp, match and feeder anglers – all produced in Energofish’s own facilities.
Energofish has earned a strong reputation for innovation at major international trade fairs. At EFTTEX, the most prestigious professional fishing tackle exhibition in Europe, the company has repeatedly been recognised with Best New Product Awards for its in‑house developments.
These accolades – collected over many years and across multiple product categories – highlight the company’s long‑standing commitment to quality, creativity and technical advancement.
“Rather than following trends, Energofish has consistently helped shape them, reinforcing its position as a key innovator in the European bait and tackle market,” says the company.
