Ryobi Vertigo 3000
Braided line 30lb (110Meter almost filled fully on my spool now) for now as I don't think I'm gonna get big fish anytime soon
All above for RM300

hehe not that shakespear wor
it's a Timber Wolf - Fire Bird
yeah for medium action, but not that big, cos my stick only up to 12lb
if im lucky i can get some keli, patin and snakehead but .. the other day i tried fishing in that pond day time for a while, lots of fish playing on the water grabbing some breathing
but.. none wana eat our bait lol
let's see how lah

oww, the kopitiam site still down..
can't wait this sat to attack the pond, hopefully nite fish are hungry that time hehe

they also use worms and snails.. and they already long time no fish there, so prolly got some big fish in there (it's vegetable farm actually, the owner just put the pond there for the workers to self sustain themselves)
i'll try bring worms and chicken intestines this time but the intestines only for reserve
yeah the rod was quite sturdy so I'm happy with it. My previous one was quite long and heavy
it was a beginner set that cost me rm80 only with size 5000 reel ready and also nylon string 100M. Good enough for beginner. Have been using that for more than 4 months now
plus i quite a lot fishing nowadays, can say past 2 months plus every weekend no miss go fishing.. but still yet to get some decent sizes one
now gonna try my old time fav, freshwater fishing. Been a long time since i do this one

Thx bro, yeah hopefully no disappointment
you can login as admin bro, maybe a rollback to previous date or something can help
Seems like a syntax error or database?

if got nice sizes fish or even fish at all i may post eh haha
if not, paiseh also
we'll see lah later on

ya this site sometimes fast, slow and at times cannot check one
maybe too many fishing kaki surf here also haha

so syok lah u ppl there so many ponds can go
make me drool only..

Last sat morning went for saltwater fish, only get a decent ketambak but so far that's my best. New fishing gear rocks, easily can pull the fish up.. dunno with bigger fish yet hehe

sat evening went for freshwater pond.. found out from the locals there, they call ikan gabus is actually the snakeheads, couldn't get chicken intestines so I used prawns, they bite bit but then went quiet.

Then i use the bait and pull back just like frog jumping in the water, the fish grabbed onto it 6 to 7 times but I couldn't land it cos it didn't swallow. I guess it may be good for some casting. Nite fishing totally no bite after an hour or so.. guess no catfish there..

the heavy rain from before, made it hard to get into that place, next time need a bigger hilux/4WD car, my kenari almost got stuck there in the mud.. thank God I didn't.. if not I am far away from home, that is a outskirt area, I was alone and my phone credit just went poof..my car looked like just out from some adventure after that

hey guys, is pelamis brand reel a good one?

This post has been edited by Shoot@M3: Jul 4 2011, 02:12 PM

ic, i tried one of the pelamis (forgot model) 10+1 bearings, was quite smooth as the handle drops by itself and spins when hanging half way shows the smoothness, good drag as well i think
price was below rm100 even
any good review on it fellow fishing kakis?

aww ic.. hmm well this one just for spare lah. I tested the Pelamis vs Penn, totally can't compare with Penn even though Pelamis with 10 bearings and Penn with only 4 bearings

I wonder why Penn reels don't have reverse rotation? It can only go one way, there are no switch/lever that you can change it to reverse the rotation..

Sifu items sure diff ah.. Can't compare de. still not that level yet so not gonna spend that much. It's about weighing how much you're willing to spend and I'm just not gonna spend that much yet .. for now anyway hehe

who knows in the future yeah? when that time comes, yeah one time pain is better

thx

even exceller too much for me lor..
its ok i'll just get a cheapo setup this time
thx

ah icic, yeah makes sense.. good advices from those who already went thru
the thing is also, most beginner would not know if they are going to stay long in this hobby, thus would not spend that much at first, but that said, can still sell off for 2nd hand

Yeap, i get what you mean. i will sure upgrade in the future if got chance and if I'm already really into fishing
For now I just get what I need first then

thx for all the input and advices
It's only tuesday and I can't stop thinking about weekends haha, must be from stressful job
Just talked to a colleague, if got chance we might go for a day trip boat fishing near some Pulau here in Kota Kinabalu. We'll see how it goes. Fellow Sabahan, if you're interested, drop me a line cos we may need few people to go hehe
Long live fishing!

i guess ball bearings are for the smoothness of reeling up and down. I don't think it help in casting better for spinning reels. Im not sure for baitcasting type. Never used one before.

for saltwater, i guess stainless steel bearings are more prefered so won't get any 'karat' that fast

More important is the drag system for me.. say the more precision dragging the better so when you get big fish, u can use the drag to control. I learned this the hard way when I lost a big fish and my good fren explained to me thru chat what was the drag for.

But i guess if you do take care of your reels, eg. properly grease it time to time to protect it from getting rust would help as well

Anyone of you know where we could get these grease things besides from car/bike workshop? I don't see this thing sold commonly anywhere..

Plus another thing is not to get the reels splashed with saltwater i guess, if you are careful with it, I don't think normal usage in saltwater would make it go rusted very fast, would it?

spray silicon grease hmm, will that last longer and not dry?
will try check that out on the next stop to the shop then
thx

ic, i'll check hardware shop later then
btw, was it hard to dismantle and put back your reels after?
i guess better to have a blow up chart that shows each of the components when taken off

good advice
dang bro, if im still in kuching, I sure contact u.. too bad didn't continued with this hobby while I was there last time
any connection to Hellionearth or something like that?
Sorry off topic, was from SBN before perhaps did trade with u before once in either Saberkas or Everise BDC..

ahahaha icic
to a gal! hehe
so syokk... too bad im not there anymore
good luck and catch a lot back to poison us bro
