Hello everyone,

My name is Michele Gratti, and I am from Italy. I live in Castelfidardo, a picturesque village nestled in the beautiful Marche region. My love for fishing began at an early age, thanks to my father, who used to take me on fishing trips to a nearby lake. These childhood memories sparked a lifelong passion for the sport.

At the age of 16, I started working at a local fishing shop, where I immersed myself even further in the world of fishing. It was during this time that I purchased my first piece of carpfishing equipment. Little did I know, this would be the beginning of an exciting journey in the fishing world.

Everything changed one day when I went fishing at a lake and caught my first black bass from the shore. It was love at first sight! That moment ignited a new passion within me, and I became determined to refine my fishing techniques to perfect my craft.

A pivotal moment in my journey was when I attended a fishing fair, where I had the chance to meet Ivan Bolognese. He introduced me to SEVEN BASS DESIGN, and through his guidance, I bought my first Jungle Operator. From the very first use, I felt an incredible sense of comfort and safety in this new equipment.

My passion didn’t stop there. Soon after, I started a partnership with the SEVEN BASS DESIGN team, who believed in my potential and supported me along the way. As my experience grew, I decided to add the Explorer 170 to my equipment, complementing the Jungle Operator.

Today, I am proud to own both an Armada 170 Plug&Go Ready and a Flatform Evo XL. These have become my trusted companions on my fishing adventures, offering me the performance and reliability I need.
