Yeah,.. i agree with ya. Need to learn and master the actions to present the lure and make it look yummy.
Reeling speed, twitching, jerking, jigging,.. when to use and with what lure,.. thats what i am keen to know.
Easiest are topwater when only require reeling in or twitching for walking the dog, occasionally pause for a few seconds.

very tempted to join you all... but very shy ... long time never go fish and my lures are all missing and I dont know what to buy already! thats how long I havent been fishing!

Aiyo I see u guys all use canggih canggih lures, dunno if mine jadi or not. Mine all local brands like Bakau n 'pirates'. Lol.

Btw, Bro Rory, issit too late if I wish to add another kaki of mine to the list? Makes it 4 extras im bringing. I've ady told them bout the pricing, deposits n other stuff that concerns.

Ya ka, must look properly next time liao.. wanted to get some rapala but since cannot find the info needed, I end up buying yo-zuri n duel lures. Love those lures btw, excellent swimming action.

Bro Inv,
Duel and Yozuri same company. Thus you would be seeing similarity in their lures. Same goes Rapala and Storm.

Hmm Kepong Tackle,.. near my office. Very tempting. Can drop by at JM Tackle too, just across the street.

For those buying lures, there are many brand out there. A decent price and brand to start would be River2Sea (Available in Kepong), River2Sea price are as low as RM12-15 for the poppers.
I personally prefer the Japanese Lures like Duel/Yozuri/Ofmer,.. still working my way up to Megabass.
As for the mat salleh brands, I prefer Storm to Rapala.

Bro 1Dollar,
All the lures has its great action being researched and developed and all senses.

However, it has to match the tasting habit of the target fish.

In my experience, i have tried a million lures to get a Pacu, and the one that landed me the first Pacu is actually the River2Sea lure. Small and tiny, ard 3grams weight. Then, i used Duel(cant remember the model) and landed some Pacu. Then i tried with many other lures on the similar action and size, that also landed me Pacu. So in my own conclusion, i does not know what Pacu wants, till i found one and manage to get with any other brands too...hahaha

The frog dual hook cannot be removed unless operation

Thats A LOT of lures,.. saw some Abu and mostly Rapalas.

FYI guys,
I was at SS2 Anglers yesterday evening till they closed, bundle sale conner got some nice DUEL popper and jg metals. it was a one stop shop for my Jurassic shopping, got meself decoy and owner hooks/split rings. As for you light and UL anglers out there, plenty of light weighted stuffs there, finally found my 6 pound line, so many brands to pick from. Nearly bought 4lb.

Another cheap place,.. if you are keen with Sufix line, please head over to JM tackle in Kepong, good discounts especially for Rapala and Sufix. Tufline also cheap.

Storm are much more affordable compared to rapala. Red hot is selling most of their Storm range of lures at 17.50...So far the cheapest i've seen but their price is nett so some other places might be cheaper when discounted.

Bro,
Any lure is a good lure, as long as we know how to use it the right way. My lures are cheapo also, got a bunch from Rawang tackle shop. 7 bucks each, manage to land some peacocks with it. Most of my other lures branded or not,.. nothing over RM20, cos I just started fishing and losing lures seems to be a fav pass time of mine

Always with bad knot, slipped knot, one time smart alec me was burning the leader knot to create a bulb didnt realise wind blowing the fire to the main line. Weakening the mainline and lure went with it upon casting... haihsss.
Lost a few snagged into weeds and underwater structures... haaiihhzzz.
1 cool thing i find fishing facinating are the lures, how they swim and the actions. the colours and art (some so real especially japanese soft plastics). I have to admit,.. i am hooked collecting lures.

Bro 1Dollar,
The 6lb and 4lb is mono or braided?

What brand you bought and how $$?

Agreed, Red hot, SS2 and JM tackle is one of the few shops i like to go, cos they dont jack up the price tag and give discount. Prices are nett and dicsount given for the grand total.

Bro where is the Puchong tackle shop you talked about when we went Shah Alam fishing?

have you guys fished for squid using lures before?

The Japs have been doing this for 400 years.

Hi EinJahr,
Yes, i have been multiple time. Now would be the season for squid in East Coast.

You know Puchong Prima mosque ? It's those shop lot just opposite the mosque.

All braided, not sure if I can post the prices here,... any forum rulez or restrictions?

I bought Sufix performance braid fused - 6lb cant remember the price.
Power pro 20lb RM45 (Ocean Sea got PP promo, dunno still valid or not)

4lb was Berkley fireline Braid
5lb - Power pro - RM45
6lb - Stren microfused / Stren Sonic Braid / Berkley fireline fused / Fireline Braid / Spider wire

I cant remember all the prices, i think I paid 55 for my sufix 6lb, last box.
these light line,.. susah cari and always limitted stock and last box.

JM tackle,.. plenty Tufline Duracast 6lb but 300 yards.

Added on May 16, 2012, 11:35 amThanks mate,.. will go check it out. Saw the Pflueger patriatrch in red hot,.. that last piece still there. But right reel ler. Not the XT version. But damn good price la you got it,.. he offered me few bucks cheaper lol.

Digital Aquarium

Ohh i bought my sufix 832 10lb in JM tackle for 74 bucks, saw in SS2 price tag 136. I dunno if i got it cheap or price went up.

My fav fish caught at India.



Depth: 240+ft Fast current
Rod: Shimano Jigwrex PE8
Reel: Shimano Twin Power SW20000
Line: Power Pro 40lb
Jig: Shimano Center Vortex 300gram

I've gotten my power pro 5lbs at Ocean Sea if not mistaken i think 35 bucks, can't really remember but that price is only for the red colored ones while the green ones are sold at normal price. Not sure why but i suppose they are clearing stock.

Not sure about the XT but for that kinda price and that kinda specs, i'm a happy man but i'm kinda interested at the shimano amenista as well. 1 set inclusive or rod less than 900 over less than 1k can get....tangan itchy lol but luckily wallet koyak else gonna tapao back home de

Got the same string and poundage from the same place as you. RM30.

aiyahh...bro rory going Kepong tackle this Friday but i still work that time.
hmm.. maybe apply half day.

Bro Vng69,
If you could join, then am glad to help. But if you intend to take leave, i think it's not necessary ler bro. Work comes first. Unless you tell me you can be excused without harming your career...
