LTX uses magnetic brakes and the ALT should should be the same price as MGX iirc.

The Elite IB has dual brakes system but not sure for the vanilla Elite though.

Bro Rorytate,

Count me out for the jigging trip. Will join some other time!

Since like that, count both Rapala out.

count me out too....

So is only me n rory?

PD jigging trip on the 15th officially myself with Bro Vioxmonsta

Psst... It could be field test of Shimano latest gears. Also both the Shimano field tester(myself and Jeff) together with Ironman and one/two of his friends

Vanquish anyone?

Added on June 20, 2012, 7:39 pmFor fishfinder, google for Garmin echo 100 or 350c. Both affordable and resolution close to iPhone. Fast response and sweeping too!

For the echo100, it's at rm350, black and white with max depth of 600ft

For the echo350c, it's at rm899, full color with Furuno color scheme for easier identification of target fish. Max depth at 1500ft

if not enough people, i dun mind going eh as long as got people guide me.

heya guys need some help here

can anyone recommend a good leader brand that is available in malaysia ? A soft but durable fluorcarbon leader the 10lb, 8lb or 6lb class, coz i need it for luring. Anyways, have you guys seen any tackle shops in KL stocking any of this?



I have the vanish fluorocarbon line in the 6lb class though, any of you guys used the vanish before ? Are they recommended ? or is there something much better?

thanks

Dunno what's coming. I just finger cross for early Xmas gift. LOL

Was hoping for some new toys, eg: vanquish, aldebaran

Seen the latesT Shimano catalogue? The magnesium is lighter than ci4 it seems also my Fishoe face there

hmm correction there, the new range are mostly the new CI4+ and super MG ( magnesium), CI4+ is lighter than CI4

mai mai.sustain fg is really sexy

Bro Ein,

I didnt see any new CI4 in the catalogue.

The plus version is definitely lighter than the non plus version in CI4. As i'm referring to the material used here, perhaps do enlighten us what is the correction factor? Am worried that i gave wrong infos..

Attached is the catalogue info i saw.

ah yeah that pic illustrate this point really well about the difference in Ci4 and CI4 plus (+)

previous rareniums, and the black-red stradics are all constructed with CI4 material ( previous stuff)

meanwhile CI4 ( plus) is a new material formula, all the new reels this year have CI4 +, which is precisely lighter than the previous stuff. Compare the 200 gram stradic CI4 2500 and the all new 2012 rarenium 2500 at 190grams.

CI4 material is impervious to rust, which means it cannot corrode.

The magnesium you mentioned is a kind of super magnesium alloy ( super MG), which is used on the recent vanquish peppered with CI4 plus. I think the CI4+ material is prolly lighter than the super MG. Oh! I hope you get your xmas gift, but it better be a vanquish or the new solid rarenium 2012 ( good all round bash reel ) .

Bro Ein,
Incorrect ler.

The pic illustrates the magnesium and the Ci4 only. It does not mentioned any part of Ci4+ as per say. Enlarge the picture and you will get to notice that it actually compares the magnumlite vs Ci4.

As for the Ci4+, it is only available in Rarenium series, no other series have Ci4+. Yes there are new items this year but none having Ci4+ besides Rarenium

For vanquish, it did not state any of the Ci4 material .

Super looking forward for the new toys! (if it came early).... LOL

i've been using Berkley Vanish and has been serving me well, very seldom change as I tied FG knot to mainline which have not failed on me before

But u need to know there's 2 types.

1. Leader Material - Much More expensive, slightly harder and more abrasion resistant. can't seem to find any tackle shop around KL selling per meter, only got per box of about 10 or 20 yards costs about RM20-30+ (Have to thank Bro Fookie for being kind enough to help buy me some from Sitiawan when he goes back there)

2. Main Line (dunno use what name la) - used as mainline, much cheaper (about the price of braided lines) can be found quite easily in tackle shops. Softer and less abrasion resistant.

The picture u shown I've not seen it personally. Just the Transition one I've seen. If u want can contact Pure fishing Malaysia and they can tell u if they got bring it in or not.

Hope this helps.

good news for you, i believe some shops are already stocking the vanquish in malaysia but.. but.. im waiting nervously for the rarenium, as some tackle shops in Singapore already got theirs; rarenium have landed in Singapore... cant be too long now. lol

check out the specs... Xship, magnumlite rotor, ci4+, etc.

Added on June 21, 2012, 7:28 pmThank you, very helpful response and helped cleared up things alot.

Well the vanish should be better than the 10lb mono im using I hope; I've just attached the 6lb vanish leader to a 4lb braid i'm using on my stradic, and i hope it wont cause me to lose my yamashita jigs coz they ain't cheap... I'd be crying buckets if the leader fails on me.
