yup.. i noticed liao.. that's why i said i need to get a medium fast action rod
current casting rod is a Fenwick HMX 6', 10-25lbs, 1/4 - 1 1/4oz, Medium, 2 pc
i wish i can try the rods before buying.. but i guess choosing the suitable rod comes with the experiences as in "for what target fish", "where to fish" and "what lures/lines to use"
and a wrong perception of mine, always expecting to get a momma fish so that's why i need a rod that can sustain the fight..

sure thing sifu...

yeah.. this i know.. maybe cos i'm pulling the line harder that i should.. perhaps when i really caught a fish, and set to max drag, i'll know how good it is..

add me in MSN pls... tinkerj@hotmail.com
and btw, its tinkerFY; FY are my initials

tinkerfly,

agree with u when u say always expecting the momma fish..... hehehehehehhehehehee....

ohh...i added the L...hahaha my apologies...]

Your fenwick will be placed for good use at Air Ganda as the rating is pretty good and casting heavier lure will be an ease...

1oz is 28grams..

you still can sustain the fight with lighter rod rating too, depending on how you fish or fight

walao bro kk's haruan damn big.
I wanna go for fishing oso..

arrange for a trip lor..

someone gotta ORGYnise for a trip.... Voon can arrange ka?

AK serdang ar..... where is it lar... dont mind trying....hehehehe.... i arrange also near near one lar..... still havent travel far for fishing trip yet.... but soon will lar.... dunno when only

AK Serdang not yet open la...they went for a testing only la..furthurmore, it's all bait based which doesnt interest me you guys can proceed ahead

Bro Voon, Since you have master BC maybe you can share with bro TinkerFY as well? Also you guys go to tasik prima quite frequent...maybe you can meet up there?

hello all sifu here. i wanna fish too...haven been fishing for like 5 years d(used to fish haruan back then) anyways. can anyone recomend a good rod for leisure fishing? ermm...like under 100, just for fishing talapia for fun...

sifu rory,

me havent master BC lar...... tell ppl also malu.... nvr caught anything with BC and lure....hahahhaa.... BC on bottom at paypond got lar.... spinner bait with spinner reel for haruan also got before.....

BC and lure, this combo been practising hard.... till now no hook up... only strikes.....heheheh wonder y.... luck?? or my skills???? hehehee

Where do you guys go fishing in PJ? lol

Bro TAGreptile, if you want a set of gears just for talapia, RM100 is more than enuff..

1. Rod - kiddy rod - RM19 fully fiberglass, can bend u shape easily, soft tip
2. Reel - Ofmer - RM55 very small, yellow in color, size of Tica kicimiao
3. Line - Berkley vanish 6lb RM15?

In total less than Rm100. In fact good for all paypond fishing Even Bro QiW, is using a super soft SureCatch rod(if i'm not mistaken RM20 or something) to catch Pacu as well.

Bro Voon,
Plastic lure have to be manipulated so that it will look like a easy bait, fleeing baitfish, trespasser and alot other factor. Just master more skills about lure, but learn 1 thing at 1 time BTW, you free tonight, pop by my place to take the rod cos tonight i'm free...Pls SMS me

Bro AAroniod,
A warm welcome to you to our small lurker forum thread about angling. Please do not hesitate to post any questions.

What is your target?
Lure/bait?

TAGreptile: you can get an "Ugly Stick" for about RM60+ and Sea Tackle got sale of reels, some as low as RM30 only.. go there check it out lar...

sifu rorytate: you're at learning curve ar? me still introductory session only..

and lots of dangerous looking people ler...

adrian (RHA) toll me they usually go to the end of the residential area...

This post has been edited by tinkerfy: Feb 7 2007, 04:30 PM

not beside longkang area
but on the left side of the area..... area where there is the weeds..... condo area there still fishable ar????

Go to the end of residential area, that spot is spacious and good ground for you to practise casting and luring.

Bro TinkerFY, you didnt get converted by me la...just your personal interest only

If i can make it, then i'll try my best to guide on luring and casting.

end ar.... meaning u need to park ur car at the road side then walk all the way in ar???? lots of motor going in that way right???
