Fishing future! I remember, as a kid, I went to the local gravel pit and nearby river Mura and Drava on fishing… Bamboo in hand, a stronger nylon, some float, some lead, a hook or two, a pair of worms in a quiver and that’s it … Bicycle, and scram to water! Those were the days… We are aware that technology is going forward every day, in all spheres of life, so why should the world of fishing be left out?! Admittedly, from float fishing I transferred to predator angling, mainly due to the lack of free time and I’m more active fishing fan, so I gradually began to use innovations in angling, both in technique as well as lures. And believe me, every day there is something new to test! I was recently in Brussels, at the fishing fair EFTTEX and I saw a lot of novelties. A lure caught my attention! Because that lure produces sound and vibration, so let me explain what it is all about … Livingston Lures is a US company in San Antonio, Texas, which for now, only in the world of fishing equipment produces so-called “smart” fishing lures. In the era of smart phones and computers, it was hard to imagine that it will bypass the world of fishing. Livingston Lure system! Every good fisherman knows that fish collects signals from the environment in several ways. Lateral line system of the fish detects sound and vibration. The higher frequency sounds can be heard via the so-called inner ear, which is located near the fishs brain. The bladder, which is in the abdominal cavity, regulates the depth of swimming, but it is also used as a resonating chamber which can produce and receive sounds. So, every fish can hear sounds and produce the same. When a fish swim, their gill plates compress their swim bladder, which puts out sounds that entice hungry predatory fish to strike, that is what EBS Technology is based on, say guys from Livingston Lures… Using knowledge of the fish anatomy and its perception of the signals from the medium in which it moves, Livingston experts invented lure, which produce sound and vibration and that is what attract predators and forces them to attack. Modernization, future in progress… EBS technology, or in the original: “Electronic Baitfish Sound Technology” , I would translate to Croatian as ELECTRONIC TECHNOLOGY OF PRODUCTION SMALL FISH SOUND. Why is this important? So I could explain how the lure is constructed and how it works… Specifically, each lure consists of a plastic body, in which is embedded an electronic device, small in size with a smart chip. Also with the speaker, advanced rattle and a small battery, which has a working volume of minimum 200 “working hours”, that means, producing sounds. Sound is triggered once the lure is submerged in water and works constantly, as long as the lure is in the water. At the same time, if the lure is in the water and is idle for a period longer than 3 minutes, it will stop producing sound, but only new TEAM LIVINGSTON series, PRO SERIES models do not have this system. When we remove the lure from the water, it will produce sound as long as the contacts are wet and circuit is “on”, if you dry it, or if it dries itself, it will stop. PRO SERIES models are equipped with original EBS sound technology that emulates natural baitfish sound, which was the winning formula on the Bassmaster Classic in 2014, when this lure greatly contributed to the victory of Randy Howell. All new models coming in 2015-th, in a series called TEAM LIVINGSTON series, are equipped with the new EBS Multi Touch technology, which with the original sound has 2 extra sound and silent mode, meaning a total of 4 sound module. How to change sounds ?! Each lure has three metal eyelets. The first is at the front of the lure (for attaching line), second one on the lower part of the belly and third one on the back, on which are rings and hooks. So, take the lure in hand and submerge it in water for 5 seconds and then remove. With the fingers of one hand (usually the thumb and index finger), you touch & hold contacts 1. After a few seconds, your lure is programmed to play SOUND 1. If you want this sound, simply disconnect the contact fingers from eyelets. If you want another sound, continue to keep your fingers on the eyelets. After the first sound, it will be a short break and then SOUND 2 will occur. The process continues if you want to select SOUND 3 or SOUND 4 (mute). Fourth sound is ending sound cycle, to select the new sound, you have to repeat the process until the desired sound is played. After the resting phase, next time your lure ends up in the water, it will continue to play a sound that was last set. Types of sounds … Lures are made for all predatory fish, like pike, zander, asp, salmon, as well as many in-shore saltwater species and we all know that. But we also know, largest fishing market in US is BASS! So some of this models are also targeting that fish. I bet that all other predatory fish will be aroused when they hear any of this sounds, regardless of model, especially when the water is dark or dimly. And when the lure comes to its sight range, it will not turn around, survival strike will follow! So here are the sounds: SOUND 1 – EBS ORIGINAL, sound that is used when Randy Howell won at the Bassmaster Classic 2014, it is electronic baitfish sound. The sound is called Howeller Dream Master Classic, according to champion. SOUND 2 – EBS CRAW, snapping shellfish sounds. SOUND 3 – EBS SHAD, frenzied baitfish sounds. SOUND 4 – SILENT MODE, stealth aproach. The colors and models … Livingston Lures produce different models of the lures, covering each water depth and different techniques. In most cases there are crankbaits for different depths and in different sizes, with or without lip. Also there are some surface lures for “walk the dog” technique, but there are also poppers, as well as jerkbaits. Color chart is well covered with 48 colors. The full range of colors and models of this innovative manufacturer, you can look at the web catalog on address below. Perhaps they will soon be seen at fishing stores, here in Croatia and I can not wait to test some. Web catalog address is here. And what now ?! As I said, at a time when technology is advancing, when everything is computerized and seeks perfection, it would be strange if innovation bypass the world of fishing equipment. It is now quite normal to have fishing rods under 100 grams in weight, reels under 200 grams in weight, the lines that hold enormous weight with respect to its thickness and countless other follies. This innovation from Livingston Lures proves that it is time for lures and a guarantee that certainly this will not stop here. What does the future of the fishing world brings, I do not know, but there will be more innovation, I have no doubt … However… But, let’s not forget that the original idea of fishing started from the need to ensure food. Further evolution of man, we have learned to grow plants and breed animals for food. Further, we invented sport fishing, but today we have a bunch of video games through which we can raise the level of adrenaline which sports has given us. Now we can do everything from comfortable armchairs. Modernization is here to facilitate the life of a man, but this modernization carries consequences to our body and that is no good! So please, turn off your television, computer, mobile phone or tablet … Take a rod in your hand, choose some lures, sort your gear, dress appropriately and go out into nature! Maybe in the beginning you will not have the will, but do something good for your body. When you catch some fish, maybe your hunter instinct will be awaken and things will be going a different direction . Maybe you’re not born to be a pro, but recreation also does wonders for you, all you have to do is, allow it… And one more thing, let the fish, at least immature ones. Give them a chance to live and to return, so that you will have opportunity to enjoy a new drill … Have a nice fishing! Nenad Ujlaki

Ribolov budućnosti! Sjećam se kako sam kao klinac odlazio na lokalne šljunčare te obližnju rijeku Muru i Dravu na ribolov… Bambus pod ruku, neki jači najlon, plovak, nešto olova, jedna udica, par crva ili glista u počišćenom tobolcu od farbe i to je to… Bicikl i letiiii… E to su bili dani! Svjesni smo da svakim danom tehnologija ide naprijed i to u svim sferama života, pa zašto da onda svijet ribolova bude izostavljen?! Doduše, ja sam sa početnog pecarenja prešao na varaličarenje, uglavnom zbog nedostatka slobodnog vremena, a i više sam za aktivni ribolov, pa sam tako malo pomalo počeo koristiti novitete u ribolovu, kako u tehnici tako i u mamcima. A vjerujte mi, ima toga, svakim danom sve više! Nedavno sam u Briselu na EFTTEX-u vidio novitet u svijetu varaličarskog ribolova, varalicu koja sama proizvodi zvuk i vibraciju, pa da pojasnim o čemu se radi… Livingston Lures je američka firma iz San Antonia u Texasu, koja za sad jedina u svijetu ribolovne opreme proizvodi, takozvane „pametne“ ribolovne varalice. U doba „pametnih“ telefona i kompjutera, teško je bilo zamisliti da će elektronika zaobići svijet ribolova. Evo na čemu rade gospoda iz Livingston Lures-a! Svaki dobar ribić zna, da riba prikuplja signale iz okoline na nekoliko načina. Svoju bočnu liniju koristi za detekciju vibracije, zvukove viših frekvencija može čuti preko tzv. unutarnjeg uha koje joj je smješteno blizu mozga, a mjehurom koji joj se nalazi u trbušnoj šupljini regulira dubinu plivanja te ga koristi kao rezonantnu komoru pomoću koje može proizvoditi i primati zvukove niže frekvencije. Dakle, svaka riba čuje zvukove i proizvodi iste. Kada riba pliva, njezine bočne stjenke pritišću mjehur te on proizvodi zvukove koji se čuju u vodi, a koji izazivaju predatore na napad, na tome se temelji EBS tehnologija, na kojoj rade ljudi iz Livingstona. Koristeći znanja o anatomiji ribe te njezinog percipiranja signala iz medija u kojem se kreče, izmislili su varalicu koja za vrijeme svog boravka u vodi proizvodi zvuk i vibraciju, a koji privlače predatore te ih tjera na napad. Modernizacija, budućnost, napredak – nego što! EBS tehnologija, ili u originalu: „Electronic Baitfish Sound Tehnology“ preveli bi kao ELEKTRONIČKA TEHNOLOGIJA PROIZVODNJE ZVUKA SITNE RIBE, ili laički rečeno ELEKTRONIČKI ZVUK KEDERA! Zašto je to važno? Da bih mogao objasniti kako je varalica konstruirana i kako radi. Naime, svaka varalica se sastoji od plastičnog tijela, u koje je uklopljena elektronička naprava, malih dimenzija, sa zvučnikom i naprednom zvečkom te malom baterijom, kojoj je radni kapacitet minimalno 200 „radnih sati“ tj. odašiljanja zvuka. Zvuk se aktivira onog trenutka kada se varalica potopi u vodu te radi konstantno za vrijeme obitavanja u vodi. Ako istu „osušimo“, tako da je obrišemo krpom ili pak se sama ocijedi, varalica će prestati proizvoditi zvuk jer gubi kontakt. Ujedno, ako je varalica u vodi, a miruje više od 3 minute, prestat će proizvoditi zvuk, a sukladno tome i ako se nalazi van vode u fazi mirovanja (u kutiji), osim PRO SERIES modela, koji nemaju taj sustav isključivanja u vodi. PRO SERIES modeli opremljeni su originalnom EBS zvučnom tehnologijom (samo jedan zvuk), koja proizvodi zvuk kedera, a koji je bio dobitna kombinacija na Bassmaster Classicu 2014, kad je ova varalica uvelike pridonijela pobjedi Randya Howella. Svi novi modeli koji dolaze u 2015-oj , u seriji zvanoj TEAM LIVINGSTON SERIJA opremljeni su novom EBS MultiTouch tehnologijom, koja uz prvotni zvuk posjeduje još 2 dodatna zvuka te tihi mod rada, znači sveukupno 4 zvučna modula. Kako mjenjati zvukove?! Svaka varalica ima 3 metalna izvadka-omčice. Prvi je na prednjem djelu varalice (na njega se veže struna), te jedan na donjem trbušnom djelu i jedan na stražnjem djelu, na koje se obično stavljaju ringovi i udice. Dakle, uzmete varalicu u ruke te je potopite u vodu na 5 sekundi i onda izvadite van. Prstima jedne šake (najčešće palac i kažiprst), primite prednji metalni izvadak i srednji (na donjem djelu trbuha) te ih držite, za par sekundi javit će se ZVUK 1. Ako želite da varalica reproducira taj zvuk, jednostavno prekinite kontakt prstima. Ukoliko želite drugi zvuk, nastavite držati prste na izvadcima, nakon prvog zvuka pojavit će se kratka pauza te će se onda javiti ZVUK 2. Postupak se nastavlja ako želite reproducirati ZVUK 3 ili ZVUK 4 (bez zvuka). Kako četvrtim zvučnim stanjem završava ciklus, za odabir novog zvuka ponavljate postupak do reprodukcije željenog zvuka. Nakon faze mirovanja, u kutiji ili van funkcije, sljedeći put kad varalica završi u vodi, nastavit će reproducirati zvuk koji je bio posljednji zadan. Vrste zvukova… Modeli varalica pokrivaju svu predatorsku ribu, no prevladavaju modeli za pastrvskog grgeča , iz razloga što je to najjače tržište u Americi. Kako zvukovno sva predatorska riba reagira isto ili vrlo slično, tako se ni jedna definitivno neće buniti ako joj serviramo bilo koji od modela. Kaže se „radoznalost je ubila mačku“ – u ovom slučaju, to će biti riba… Evo koje serenade mogu pjevati varalice! ZVUK 1 – EBS ORIGINAL, je zvuk koji je koristio Randy Howell na Bassmaster Classicu 2014, a imitira zvuk sitne ribe, kedera. Zvuk je nazvan Howeller Dream Master Classic, prama prvaku. ZVUK 2 – EBS CRAW, je zvuk raka koji kucka klještima i kreće se po dnu . ZVUK 3 – EBS SHAD, je zvuk kedera u igri. ZVUK 4 – SILENT MODE, bez zvuka. Boje i modeli… U Livingston Lures asortimanu postoje različiti modeli varalica koji pokrivaju svaku dubinu vode te različite tehnike. U većini slučajeva u ponudi su krenkovi za različite dubine te su isti različitih veličina, sa i bez pakte (jezičca), a ima tu i površinskih varalica za „walk the dog“ tehniku ili kako ih mi zovemo – zare, no ima i popera, kao i voblera „minnow“ oblika. Od boja, pokriven je široki spektar od čak 48 boja, pa da ne nabrajam sve, kompletni asortiman boja i modela ovog inovativnog proizvođača možete pogledati u katalogu na web adresi niže, a možda se vrlo skoro pojave i u prodavaonicama kod nas. Webica je ovdje. I kako dalje?! Kao što rekoh na početku, u doba kada tehnologija napreduje galopirajući, kada je sve kompjuterizirano i tehnički teži savršenstvu, čudno bi bilo da modernizacija i inovativnost zaobiđe svijet ribolovnog pribora. Tako je sada sasvim normalno da imamo ribičke štapove ispod 100 grama težine,role ispod 200 grama težine, strune koje drže enormne težine s obzirom na svoju debljinu i još bezbroj drugih ludorija. Ova inovacija iz Livingston Lures-a dokazuje da su na red došle varalice i garancija je da tu sigurno neće stati. Što nam budućnost ribolovnog svijeta donosi, ne znam, no da će biti još inovacija, u to ne sumnjam… Ali, nemojmo zaboraviti da je prvobitna ideja ribolova krenula iz potrebe da osiguramo hranu! Daljnjom evolucijom čovjeka, naučili smo uzgajati biljke i životinje za tu potrebu prehrane, pa smo izmislili sportski ribolov, a u današnje vrijeme imamo hrpu video igara preko kojih možemo podići razinu adrenalina koju nam je pružao sport i bavljenje istim, a to sve sada radimo iz udobne fotelje… Bit modernizacije je olakšati život čovjeka, ali ta modernizacija nosi posljedice po naš organizam. I zato, lijepo ugasite svoje televizore, kompjutere, mobitele i tablete… Uzmite štap u ruke, izaberite nekoliko varalica, posložite opremu, udobno se obucite i krenite van, u prirodu! Možda u početku nećete imati volje, ali učinite nešto dobro za svoj organizam, a ono što uhvatite, možda u vama probudi instinkt lovca, a onda stvari kreću drugim smjerom… Možda ne budete profesionalac, ali i rekreacija čini čuda za vas, samo joj to morate dozvoliti. I još jedna sitnica, puštajte ribu, barem onu koja je nedorasla, dajte joj priliku da živi i da se vrati, pa da vam opet pruži zadovoljstvo drila… Bistro vam bilo! Nenad Ujlaki
