Jigs flies, with a compact lead ball on the hook, began to be used approximately 25 years ago on the Traun River in Austria, where local fishing rules allowed the use of only one fly. In May 1988, Mr. Karel Holub brought some weighted jig nymphs to the Czech Republic for world champion Slavoj Svoboda, who used them with great success in the National Selection competition on the Vltava River in Vyssi Brod. Subsequently, Mr. Klima started to produce jigs flies for Rudi Heger, and in 1990 Mr. Jan Siman started to sell lead-weighted jig nymphs in the Czech Republic. At that time, VMC jig hooks with a 90 degree bend were available in the Czech market. Soon after our success with these jig-nymphs in the World Championships, they were banned in FIPS-Mou events. Several years later in 2001, a change in FIPS-Mou rules allowed the use of one bead with a maximum diameter of 4 mm, and Czechs continued to fish with jigs.

In motor racing it has often been said that “competition improves the breed” and this is equally true of fly fishing where the Czech-manufactured “Hanák Competition” fly hooks have dominated national and international fly fishing competitions including the FIPS-Mouche World Fly Fishing Championship which is held in a different country each year.
Now, Hanák Ltd, brings to this year´s Christmas market an innovative series of seven new fly rods that demonstrate the same world-beating quality and performance.
The “Hanák Competition” fly rods are the result of several years of intensive research, testing and development assisted by leading members of the Czech team which has dominated the World Fly Championships for the past decade.
