Added on April 19, 2012, 10:28 amHi Fellas,
Perhaps allow me to share my thoughts on BC and micro lures.

Knowing the micro lures are light, therefore the composition of your rod, reel and line(plus a little skillset) is crucial.

To the general caster, anything lesser than 4gram is considered finesse fishing. It does not matter if you are using a small spoon, a softplastic or even hard body lure. It's the weight talk now.

Rod
Use a lighter rod like 4~12lb. To successfully cast out a micro lure you need the flick of the rod tip to push the lure out.

Reel
Gotta use a slightly highend reel. It's the freespooling factor here. If the spool does not rotate freely and easily, it causes much CBH aka birdnest, as the line gonna be eaten back to the reel at higher RPM of the spool. The spool need to be easily reaching certain RPM, not those slow pickup RPM and reach high RPM at later stage. This causes blacklash.

Line
Use lighter line. Eg 4lb or anything below 10lb. Dont worry about busting the line, most of our braided lines are under-rated. It may state 10lb but the breaking strains will reach around 24lb!!! Unless the line are IGFA rated, where it will break before it reaches the mentioned poundage. I personally have landed a 5.2kg wild toman with 4lb IGFA rated line. Almost got into world IGFA record tho.

Lastly, the skill set. Practise makes perfect. Hope this helps.

ermmm,.. noob question for all. Anyone here know any tackle shop carries multiple choices of Pflueger & Okuma reels?

Hi there,
you may consider Kepong Tackle. Besides the good range of variety, the prices are pretty competitive too..

Alternatively, you can let me know what are the models you want to find, i could help you obtain some pricings since Pflueger is distributed by Purefishing and Okuma by Rapala VMC. I got good contacts there

Good luck.

Thanks Mate,

Kepong Tackle aint the best place to shop beed there a few times and I felt like i was in Giant or Tesco. Price are relatively good but not the service, they dont have the Okuma reel i am looking for.

I am hunting for Okuma Trio 20 or 30 model with the rod too. Anyone used it before? Cos I am also itching to get into finese tackling, and found Okuma setup seems to be the best bang for buck.

As for Pflueger, I am just curious bout the Patriach price in Malaysia... searched online and its not cheap.

It's just a good one stop place. Many of the places you cant ask for more service too just some common mentality of any products.

Am checking the Okuma prices for you. Btw, what rod are you referring to?

As for the patriach, you are referring to casting or spinning?

These are the Okuma prices that I am aftering. Not sure if they are available in Malaysia. Fred Goh of Rapala did reply my mail on the reel. But I didnt ask him bout the 2 rods

Okuma Trio Spinning 20 & 30
Okuma Trio Spinning Rod 6' TR602SPL & 6'6" TR662SPL - 2-4kg (4-8lbs)
Okuma Citrix Spinning Rod 6'6" (Ci-S-66ML) - 2.7-5.4kg (6-12lbs)

Lets forget bout the Pfluger for now, its out of my budget... awesome light reel. love the carbon and Magnesium looks.

Well the best fight you can get on such sizes would be pole fishing. Maybe we have different goal cause for me i tend to concentrate on the bite rate so got fight no fight doesn't matter much for now. Grasping the feel of a bite and what kinda lure to use under what situations for what kinda fish is more of my target now that i start lure casting.

hey, nice to have you back. i was absent for a few years ago too

tq so much for your input. learnt a lot today.

Totally screw up, shit!! Was suppose to get d daiwa oceano 4500j yesterday but I had something urgent to do,I had to leave the tackle store with stuff to do.I called up to reserved the reel as ill be back the next day to get the reel, so the boss say okok.today I showed up at the store he told me drop the reel on the floor n he already sent the reel back for warranty.I personally think it's because he quoted me the wrong price so he gave me such digk reason.. fooocked!!!

wads a fishy TT?

teh tarik session, where fishy talk is conducted

oo,why not having a TT section while fishing? lol

can also la..

Just worried that all caster will be all over the place... then the TT is not being materialised

We can always go for kelong fishing in Port Klang. One person should be around RM30.
Still havent get to try this yet..

sounds like a good suggestion!

anyone willing to ORGYnise the TT session?
