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.

You're welcome. I also agree with Sifu Rorytate on the Alpha-ex leaders... cheap and good... easily found in most tackle shops (kepong, Puchong etc.) although haven't seen any below 30lb lah... use it for jigging myself, i guess the fish in the sea not as smart as those in freshwater gua... especially those paypond Siakaps can differenciate 14lb fluoro and 20lb fluoro wan... sometime 6lb mono also can see... KNN...

Wow... 4lb mainline with 6lb leader I myself dare not go so light... like u said sure cry one when loose expensive lures (not that I have any really expensive ones also )

i see most of the time people loose their lures is when during casting the main line snapped and the lure will fly to kingdom come... (of cos besides those that kena snag or went looking for monkeys in the trees lah ) Not sure it's bcos of bad quality braid or casting technique, Touch wood only happen to me once or twice.... also put more care on the FG knot.... make sure u "Lubricate often...

inv sums up what i have to say... about FG as there's no knot at all on the thick mono/leader, hence the smoother cast. i haven't use uni knot before to join braid to leader. If in a hurry I would use Albright instead of FG, next best knot i know that takes seconds to tie... will usually add another overhand knot at the end of the braid for extra peace of mind (and also use lighter to burn the mono/leader end so it has a bulge for extra extra peace of mind - also works for FG)

Improved clinched for the hook/swivel/snap never failed me so far..

and the the heavy sinker trick sounds good... always forgot to bring lure retriever...

Added on June 28, 2012, 12:27 pmSorry i think the Pen rods not going to arrive on time for your UL challenge...

Try calling ocean sea serdang (0389457725) or kepong tackle (03-6274-0460) or SS2 fishing fever (0379582623) before u go, so no need to purposely go lo

wah... eye pain... just read through about 10 pages of directions from the seller about how to use/take care of the Pen Fishing rods... And he keeps on emphasizing that each user MUST read the whole instructions... although he sounds a little "lansi"... but I guess he just wanted to make sure that we care for the rods and reels properly.

But Damn long lor... will forward to u all later...

According to that fella, everyone need to read wor...

Haven't receive the items yet... will calculate once it has arrived.

Added on July 2, 2012, 5:34 pmSorry to say that I'm about to open up a can of worms... Please do forgive me if I've said anything wrong...

Although I don't bring fish back as well and am a firm believer in catch and release, I don't really see it's such a big deal for ppl to be taking back 1 PB for consumption or whatever he plans to do it with. If he took any other local species like Toman/Haruan/Sebarau etc by the guni loads I'll be pissed as well

PB's are foreign species that have invaded our waters by the truck loads and eliminating our local species, just like how the snakeheads/asian carps are invading the U.S. I still remember quite a few years back I've seen photos of people (not sure if some organization or personal effort) putting in quite a number of juvenile tomans in subang lake to control the PB infestation, so after so many years I've not really seen anyone pull up any toman also from the subang lake, which means that most likely kena sapu by the PB liao.

Thought I'd shed some light on this matter to help protect our local indigenous species which is getting harder and harder to get (sad to say ) nowadays in the wild. I think in the future our children may not get the chance to feel the wrath of wild tomans/sebaraus and etc.!

Hope I did not offend anyone

glad that you agree with my point there bro 1dollar...

I guess it's more about educating the people nowadays... same with a lot of fish species that are dissapearing from our oceans.

Have tried reasoning with a lot of people to stop eating shark fins soup but sad to say that a lot of people are still ignorant and refuse to believe that Sharks ARE endangered species with 100million sharks killed (recorded) each year.

They also refuse to believe that if the mercury content inside the fins (yes! mercury) won't kill you, the chemicals they used to wash the fins WILL!

Even more shocking to hear that some complaint that Sharks are pests, and should be killed at first sight... Sigh... when will people learn...

Have been diving for about a year now with 20+ dives and sad to say that I've not seen any sharks before...

Added on July 2, 2012, 6:28 pmAlthough Pacu's are not local species, but you don't really see lakes/ponds infested with them. PB's a different story...

As much as I like the fact that PB's are notorious predators and takes lures and etc. they are still an alien species.

1dollar, Actually i did follow a bunch to Perak last weekend... not bad result also... didn't invite u guys cos me not orgynizer, just main ikut only... kekeke...

Huray, the pen rods have arrived!!! But I forgot to bring out to office today... So sorry...

Anyways, he emphasize a lot of reading the instructions and even included a printed copy that I shall pass to you. But for the time being, you can watch this video for more info

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2_ayGKkY3M

Frankly, at first glance, the quality on the reels and rods is nothing to shout about, but can't complaint too much for that price and portability la... haven't kena fish on it yet so can't really say good or bad lor...

Anyways the total came up to RM1145.22. So 1145.22/12 = RM104.11. + Service charge= 1 Teh Tarik

So for those who haven't paid full you can either transfer to my bank or pass the cash balance to me when i pass u the rods.
