betul ka? what is the expected damage? to my wallet i mean...

Since you're keen on Ultralight setup...if i not mistaken Biomaster series minimum series 2500, which i think are not suitable for ultralight application.
U can look for those reels below 1000 series (perfect is 500 series).
Why are you looking for ultralight tackle? What kind of fish are you targeting? Have you use any ultralight before?
I've been using ultralight sometimes ago and im not use to it.....u have to really patience enough to use ultralight.
What is your budget for your ultralight tackle? Different brand different price.....
For your info...Biomaster reels price range is between RM600-Rm1000 ( upon ur model ), then how bout ur ultralight rod?

Go for gloomis rod for ultralight setups, new spot nearby putra permaisuri if I'm not mistaken.

nope. i have not used any ultralight setup before. i'm targetting PBs mostly in subang lake.

i do have a second hand shimano sahara 750fb but my friend said something about the drag not being good enough if terkena bigger fish. it's paired with a lemax g7 6-12lbs rated rod atm (fished this out in bkt cerakah a few weeks ago).

i have a ML setup, MajorCraft go.emotion 8-14lbs paired with curado 51e. thinking of getting light setup consisting of a MajorCraft basspara spinning setup rated 4-8lbs.

Syiok meh lightsetup, mayb different fetish..like my father in law ,his using ofmer baby reel with 6lbs ichiban flurocarbon,I see also headache

different kind of fight i guess. i also headache when i see ppl bring sea jigging rod to subang lake to cast dedak. it's like bringing a cannon to a gun fight. worst thing is, they go bring home the fish that they catch...

lol...thats the skill u need on ultralight when u hook a big fish...imagine use 4lb line with 2-4kg fish....u will feel like u fighting with 10kg fish....heartbeat non-stop beating like u getting heart attack.

Can't imagine that, that's what the same thing my father in law told me.lol I rather play a safer way.

any other cheaper 6foot UL rod to recommend?

st.criox? super durable,ultra light, lifetime warranty but u'll have to pay d posting fees.

the avid series?

I'm nt sure bro.. or u can try the purple coloured uglystik ,I had one of those.. the tip of the rod is freaking sensitive so I think it's ultralight action rod.BTW, I heard some of the tackle-shop people saying its a lady rod

When you think of UL you don't think about landing biggies as thats never really the intention of having a UL set.

Sahara 750 with a 6-12lbs rod coupled with 6lbs braided would be a very versatile setup. Much more ideal than the UL set you planning to get considering that you wanna have at least has a 50 50 chance of fighting a biggie. Just make use of what you have now and save up the ka chings for a beefier set when you start going for dam fishing or offshore fishing. By then you would regret in spending so much on light tackles as none of it can be used later on.

daiwa oceano 4500j selling rm350.00 new sets should i go for it.

how bout Fenwick Eagle GT 4-12 5'6" 1pc BC rod??? it cost less than rm200 n good enough for anything 3 to 7 grams lure... match it with stren microfuse or sufix 832 or new power pro 6 to 10lb braided line...

the problem with BC with microlure is that the learning curve is high. i have a bc setup which i can cast lure with 7g no problem, only like 1 birdnest/cbh out of 20 cast, but switching to lure below 5g will give me like 3 birdnest/cbh out of 7, especially if i want to cast it far.

i go to the subang lake more often than any other lake, so a UL setup is good enough considering my target PBs is only like palm size, or slightly bigger.
