Added on September 12, 2012, 12:21 amcheck the 12g spoon is about rm 3.20,i assumed that the 7g would b rm2.80. since daddy said was the same effect no harm trying since the price diffs big margin.


refering to your pix.ur toman average only bro.if u try exotic i think max 6 to 7kg.and wild pond's toman confirm more power.

i strongly believe lure works better.using livebaits pros is ur livebaits definitely has better swimming action than lures,and d cons is ur parking ur bait there.if the toman doesnt comes nearby the strikezone,u'll just have to WAIT till it comes
using lures..u can keep changing zones and and as long as u learned to use the exact lures it'll naturally produces good swimming actions.it takes alot of practise too

haha catching a toman in the wild memang diff story. im yet to experience it, been close but still not there yet. now need to tune down fishing abit...finals coming in. need to save up on a new setup also

what new setup?! tell ler!

going light. scare budget nt enuf only.

Light bc or spinning?

Light bc setup gonna cost u quite a bit.

As for spinning setup, my choice would be majorcraft trapara with pflueger supreme xt 9225/9230. Nom nom nom..

yar rite.. good luck then...

and FYI, getting 3-4 kg toman in wild is COMMON.. nothing to shout about it... may b bro rory can show off little bit of his catches and of course with lures (RAPALA brand).. BUT chances to see 15kg and above toman is rare.. if you don't see, then of course you don't scared lor...

Light spinning. Still considering either UL or L based on my budget.

Din know LYN fishing thread so active one wei...

Kayent... UL is the trend nowdays... hehheh...

Aiyoh...
nothing special ler. nothing to show on or show off..

But most of what you guys mentioned are correcto. Toman in the wild are much more stronger compared to the toman in raring pond. Ultimately, different place toman have different brute strength too. Bro Daddy will 100% second me on this point.

My best record was a 11kg toman on a 30lb line. It was HUGE and even having some sort of snout on the tip of the mouth.

I have to agree. With catches getting smaller nowadays, ul setup gives more fun.

Looks like shimano Aldebaran bfs xg is officially launched. Anybody got lubang?

wait till you bring 5lbs line Jurassic Pond and hook one toman and let your shallow spool reel scream like no tomorrow. ohhzem... of course with UL setup you get to cast 2g trout spoons, arm length sized haruan also give satisfying fights...

the word aldebaran bfs makes me drool everytime i see it.
rory where u'll be dropping by today? forget return ur rod.

Bro Inv,
Since you like UL so much, suggest that you get Platypus 4lb IGFA rated line from Oz. It's a mono.

If you are using 5lb line but braided, the breaking point is about 10lb/11lb, thus you can actually hentam much much bigger specimen

Give a chance for the fish to bust your line ler...

Been there, done that on my first official fishing trip with the LYN guys. Didn't manage to get the toman but was having so much fun with the red tail. 5lbs powerpro on biomaster 2500.


Let us know the price if u manage to see one! I got a strong feeling that digital will have it in stock.


Igfa rated line ka? Must give that a go. Then again, I already lost a lure on my 12lbs vanish to the fish in Jurassic adi while using my ul setup.. many heartache..

Err.. not 30Ib der.. 20Ib stren yellow color main line maa... show off lar the full page magazine photo...

i cannot second anything as people might thinking i'm joking... but for all my friend and people who know me, if i said "cut your line" then you better cut your line... if i said "run" you guys better run for you life...

vanish 2lbs or powerpro 5lbs is bang for buck nowdays. i used to get 2lbs fireline for UL last time but the price i see nowdays not worth it wei.

somehow got the urge to try out the nanofil for UL setup. am looking high and low for lower lbs if you all know where stock 2, 4, 6lbs pls lemme know

it all boils down a lot to rod, technique and basics of fish fighting instead of brutely bringing the fish back to shore.

yup, asian red tail is good on this set up also. but i did it at the natural pond beside J pond on chicken innards... only managed to get asian red tail on UL, hv not hooked an amazonian though...

Thanks for the correction bro. I was thinking either 20lb or 30lb... but i couldnt recall

so if you say start Fxxking, do i fxxk for my life? LOL

bro, i don't mind bursting my line.. just regret loosing lure.. especially the one i've borrow from you... MuaHaHaHa...
