hhmm..45mins - 1 hr just to get to the spot?? sounds like a good fishing spot..i wanna join too....lurecasting angler here..

rorytate - sure dude..went to tasik prima last saturday with a friend..sadly, no hookup..

aiks..really?? anyway..it was darn crowded on that day...and noisy too..bcos of those remote plane flying here and there....hehhe......i was there until 8pm..kekekke..

i was at the side where u need to go passed those cement blocks to park your car..

ah RHA..1 of my favourite place for japanese lures..

no problem with me here...ermm..who can lead? heheh.. wa wa...custom rod ?? ermm..i want 1 also..complete with megabass accessories and finishing..can ar?? hehe

nice article bro..especially for those who uses spinning reels..

sifu rorytate - oh..i was referring to the seven rods that John tested...on the other hand..u r right..the article that u posted in mfn does apply for both casting and spinning anglers..

plkvoon - maybe ur reel is using dry drag system and in your case, some of the engine oil accidentally sip into the drag system...

as for me..after each outing..I'll tighten up the drag and give it a rinse using tap water..shake it a few times vigorously and let it dry up over night then put 1 drop of reel oils for the bearings on each side..also a bit of teflon grease on worm shaft gear ..consider it a minor service..

@nicotine - totally agreed..the drag should be loosen at all time..except during rinsing and outing of course..hehe..

speaking of drags..waiting for my friend to bring back a set of carbontex drag for my reel..hopefully he will be back in malaysia at the same time my zpi bearings arrive at my doorstep ..then it will be double tightlines with 1 lure..hehehhe

oh icic..thanx for your information..so when is our lyn 1st fishing outing gonna held on ??

hey anglers and fisherman.. ..i need some recommendation for casting/spinning freshwater rod that can withstand 20-40 lbs ...any sifu can name some contenders ?? brand & model please..

also..i'm actually a mono line angler...so i'm not very familiar with braided lines, 50 lbs to be exact..planning to give powerpro and berkley fireline braided lines a try...coz i need 2 setup for my next trip..spinning and baitcaster where both reels will be using the same poundage but different brand...any other brands that lyn fishing sifu can suggest ...Brand & model please

thanks for your inputs..both sifu rorytate and sifu nicotine..

The targeting fishie is toman, toman bunga and haruan..but still depending on luck...kiaakkssss. Locations still unknown yet as i've not been there before..but according to the regulars, anything below 40lbs wouldn't stand a chance to land those big mommas because of few factors:- strength of those mommas , snags on underwater structure such as branches, big chuck of woods, downed trees and etc

hhmm, so for the lines I think i'll give berkley whiplash and stren a try.

as for the rod, i think i'll go for some shop window shopping on this weekend...hehe...need to test and feel the rod personally

well said sifu tinkerfly. ..thats the reason why i need a heavy setup in the 1st place. , to stop those hot mommas from running back to their playground and hop onto a merry-do-round with my lure in their mouth coz i ain't want any of my trairao or smith froggie sitting on the merry-go-round.

location still unknown yet sifu rorytate..sorry..but i'll be going next week and i'll try to snap some photo if i ever land some mommas.. ..btw..did look for the abu conolon rod u recommended..really a good rod i must say..to bad they only have spinning version only..i'll be heading to other tackle shop this weekend to try my luck for casting and longer version.. worst to worst just get a shakespeare/rapala 30-40lbs..hehhe..dirty cheap only..


ah, sifu tinkerfly eyeing on daiwa alphas eh, its a good choice there, do try to opt for the ALPHAS 103/103L(not type F) for its CRBB feature or maybe u might wanna take a look at abu garcia revo casting reel too for their powerful drag system. RHA or Tightlines..no comment here.. ..but i can advise u 1 thing, if you have time, pay a visit to both shop and ask their staff's assistance for both reels, throw them any questions that u can think of..e.g. performance, reel characteristic, after sales service, warranty and etc..justify yourself which shop have a more friendlier staffs and after sales service..after all u need some after sales service for that reel rite? btw..throw ur lure questions to them too..i'm sure they have some lure to meet ur requirement..

personally i won't mind paying 10 - 20 bucks extra but in return getting friendly staff and friendly after sales service .nope guys..its not a hint in anyhow way..hehe..hope i'm standing in a neutral ground..

aiya, went out field work today. i wish i could fish too

hhmm...ermm its a casting type rite? i could be interested. Hehe..can you pm me the length, condition and not forgetting the price too btw happy jigging..

wat about the price ...


sang yu??? ..ermm..any fishing activity allowed in the forest reserve?? i afraid later our fishing gear got "reserved" by their security pple..

tinkerfy - aiks..unlucky day huh , well sounds like you need to get a fresh pack of swivels and snaps

sifu rorytate - thanks for the offer, quite a good rod and reasonable offer i must say, 1 feature i like most is the detachable end section but after much thinking, sad to say i have to give it a pass..not because of the price but because of the length. ..the problem is this, currently i already have a 6" rod to match the scorpion mg for my light setup, so i was opting for a longer rod to match the zillion for my heavy setup..headache headache btw hows ya trip. Fruitful??

hi bryan. ermm, u can try this wizard i suppose...PJ fishing store Finder . Just kidding with ya. well let see what do we have here. Tacklebox (ss15 Near kfc), Tightlines (behind the sunway pyramid's caltex), RHA ( behind old lim kok wing's college)..any of sifu can list out the shops that i missed

ohh. yea hor, missed that

yesh yesh ..totally agreed here. decision made based on i've already have a 6" rod and i don't want to have another rod with the same length
