I am looking for reel that can be use in saltwater, salesman advice me to find reel that has "full metal body".

Can you recommend me some reels that has "full metal body" ?

I am not really sure about the budget coz i m not really sure about "full metal body" reel's price range. Maybe RM200+-, i guess.

You dont really need to listen to the sales person.
What kinds of saltwater fishes are you looking for? Will you be fishing in deep waters?
If you're fishing at non deep waters, a Shimano Sienna is a decent buy.

not really deep also, most likely Pulau Ketam Kelong or Saltwater fish pond. Looking around 2000 or 2500 reel.

I might get the Sienna since it is Saltwater Approved, any other reels to recommend ?

Kenny, where is the Rawang Natural Pond ? please PM me if you do not want to post here.

Where is the Melawati Pond too ?

lol, I am a newbie in fishing. Please tunjuk ajar sikit. Thank you.

Kenny, bsides chicken intestine? any other better options? can't tahan the smell

Midnight I scared too many people, chances of tangle other lines are quite high as people won't lock their drag/open bail. I prefer to go early evening though. Maybe next time la

Wear a pair of gloves lol. I'm a bit cheap skate 1, if I pay RM100 to fish, if women's underwear can catch fish, I'll use them too.
For reel about RM100-Rm150, I like the Penn Pursuit that I'm using now. Or a daiwa Regal.

The pond is near Bukit Antarabangsa and just opposite Surau Taman Bukit Mulia.

Nice results, such a blessing to have such a nice beach in Kerteh, Terengganu. Klang Valley won't have any chance to enjoy that. What's that red fish called? Siakap Merah?

thanks bro ,i live at Bangi but always going back to my hometown when public holidays.
That a siakap merah or mangrove jacks, fighting with them is very hard because they tend to run to underwater structure. For me the siakap merah is more delicious compare to siakap putih when cooked..

I cant agree more, MJs definitely taste better. You did surf casting?

the small siakap merah is cacth by lure casting and the big ones catch by surf casting using white prawn as a bait...
can i know what is the english names for the white fish in the pic.? in malay they called it ikan kapur but idk english names...it is travelly species right.

I have no idea, I can't even name 1 fish that you showed in the picture

Both model okay for lake + beach fishing?

Thanks max for the recommendation not to buy Ajiking

Max, did u have bad experience with Ajiking products ?

Yes, bought a brand new Ajiking reel before and when i wanted to use it the internal gear went bust. No warranty for that.

Which model is that ?

ahhh boring. went to rawang pond last week.
not much catch.only 2 pacu approx. 7kg and i realise midnight fishing rate dam low over that pond.
rod bent several times..using live baits..most prolly red tail.

Bought the ajiking atom 2000 series, been using it for a good 6 months. It's a basic cheap reel for freshwater! Doesn't do well in saltwater, as i realise the frame warps! It's not very strong, though it is small (was planning to use it specifically for bulus fishing!). Have upgraded to the Penn Battle 2000 instead!! metal body Waiting for next trip to use!

btw... melawati pond where ah? anyone got details, love the rm10 for 4hours plan

Only 3 fish caught last sat trip..
