Icecube, heard you going kelong issit, when and where~?

Erm... Thanks for your invitation. But may i know roughly the budget? And Need to over night on the sea?

rorytate, my birthday just passed... i get a set of fishing rig from my friend. Damm happy with that !!!! ..
it is a Abu Ambassadeur 1003LP and rod ...


Abu Casting Reel << this is the model

I m having BIG PROBLEM now... very vomit blood... I dont even know how to operate the reel! Cause all the way i m using spinning reel...

And .. i had cut and sambung my line back due to non-experienced of using that type of reel.. DO u have any video or guild for me to use the reel? i cant throw far... or the line "KIK" like hell. ...

bro Btat, nope, we are not going to overnight.. , the budget is not really that expensive if it's around locale.

For your BC (Baitcast), it's the entry level of Abu 2006 BC design. I'm waiting for the Abu Revo STX which havent reach to our shores yet.

I have a write up regarding how to operate the BC to avoid birdnest(CBH = Char Bee Hoon) and to get the optimal distance with BC casting.

Let me find it and post it here.

okok.. bro, thank you very much ... thank you .... You let me know the time or place la.. and price also, i try to arrange my time.. let me know earlier ya..
Abu Revo STX > very expensive one oh ...

Char Bee Hoon .. I char many jor .. very dulan .. haha

ALL rig + my bro Guak Guak RigS !!!

guys, i would like to make a correction of understanding here...

RIG is the method to tie your line to your bait...
Example for bottom fishing
1:mainline-->snap+swivels--> leader line--> small split shot--> hooks
2:mainline+running sinker--> snap +swivels--> leaderline--> hooks
3: mainline--> snap + swivels + clipping a apollo weight-->leader line --> hooks

The above mentioned is RIG

For fishing gears it's called setup or sets. Hope this clarifies


Btat, i see a surecatch tournament there....heheheh the rest i tatao...yet to get the tutorial for BC as i posted it at some forum, and i am unable to log in now

BTW, try adjusting your magnetic brakes to 10

BC is something fun to learn with, and honestly, it's not as easy as we thought comparo to spinning sets.

Do join me for some fishing trips and i guide you more on utilising the BC

Now to set the right magnetic setting.
Tie to a 8grams lure(practically anything above 6cm is 7~8grams), then set your magnetic brake is set to 10, and your tension knob(the stupid nut that Bro Chun lost it) to ensure the spool doesnt move sideways. I'll explain more on that later stage. The tip here is, as you cast, notice your lure....as it's about to touch the water, use your thumb to stop the spool fully. Otherwise, due to the sudden change of speed at your spool, the spool will overrun and cause you CBH.

Then make a swing of, back to front with a minimal strength swing. You should be reaching 10m~15m. Do that for 5 times....

Then adjust your magnetic brakes to 8, and do the same strength swings again x 5. You should be getting 20m averagely....

Keep adjust the magnetic drag to lower the brakes(DO NOT PUT 2 or 0), until you get some CBH. NOW, the trick here is, tighten abit of your tension knob. Cast again for 5 times.....it's either getting lesser CBH or no CBH at all....if no CBH meaning that you have set the right setting for yourself. Otherwise, loosen the tension knob a little and adjust your magnetic brake +1 degree. Keep testing it again.

REMEMBER NOT TO CAST TOO HARD YET! Increase your casting strength bit by bit...educate your thumb to stop the spool at the right point



TENSION KNOB 101.

The tension knob is being used to tightened the movement of the spool by limiting the movement of the spool shaft.

See graphic below.( |-| is spool, >>> is the spool shaft and |o is the tension knob)

............

||))))))))))||>>>>>>>>>>>> |o

............

Usually this is the stock or as new setting. In such if you noticed that the spool shaft is not touching/connected to the tension knob at all. In such way, it's either using magnetic brake or centrifugal brake to slow down the inertia of the spool gradually. But sometimes caused a minimal CBH. The spool will be able to move left and right bits.

............

||))))))))))||>>>>>>>>>>>>|o

............

Now, adjust the tension knob slowly to ensure that the tension knob touches the shaft a little bit.(HOW THE HECK I AM ABLE TO SEE THE CONECTIVITY OF THE SHAFT AND THE TENSION KNOB?????). This is how you check.
1: Tightened the knob bit and bits...
2: Then use your thumb to try to move spool to the left and right. If it moves, repeat step 1, until there are bit of movement.

yesss! found the article.....

just read it and i hope you get the idea...
