Btw, main concern about inflatable boat - especially with thruster, is the battery pack. Having a NS60 battery pack is not light and it will definitely sit on the flooring of the inflatable sampai penyek smile.gif

ARGHHHH NO FISH STREAK!!!! this is starting to take its toll ....

been using all sorts of bait... earthworms, chicken liver, chicken skin, bread and been to different locations ...

i am wondering if it is me being a total noob or these places are just over fished.

any of you guys here have any light to shed on my despair? perhaps u guys been thru this before? gosh malaysia should have fishing seasons ... that way people wont just fish out the whole damn place

Referring to the bentong spot?

Look at the bright side. You found out numerous ways NOT to get a score smile.gif perhaps the honey hole not where you went, maybe the time or water temp is not right. Either way you are LEARNING smile.gif

Just like Thomas Edison, he found thousands and one way, Wrong ways or making a light bulb

Always for me, catching something at the end of the line is a bonus. Otherwise, we still enjoyed our angler buddy's companionship and nature

Stay chill. Result will yield to the one that keep trying and learning. Cheers mate

you basically get to decide on every aspect of the rod, from start to finish, according to your whims and fancies  ... within reason biggrin.gif
it's an alternative to shopping off the rack especially if you want something that's not mass produced or easily available
eg, i like the storm yellow mojo rods but not their micro guides
i want spiral but apart from the batch of spiral daiwas back in the 80s, there aren't any mass produced spirals

blank
binding ... wotever colours or combination you want
guides
reel seat
handle ... material and design

takin the handle angle further ... split or non-split, type of butt/gimbal/gimbal+slip on butt, length and material of handle for your hand
best measured in person
how do you want your foregrip

customed to meet your needs/wants, fit and usage
one may choose to keep it as lightweight as possible or with the best parts you choose (could be better than the mass produced)
you may also choose to keep the cost down
tackle pricing generally includes R&D and branding cost
*
Well said. Was about to reply the same LOL

Mostly for the purpose of lowering the cost with the specific specifications that you wanted it smile.gif all in all of your desired rod smile.gif

Eg:
You wanted split handle but those you see doesn't face you
You wanted split reel seat but it would be very costly or limited options available
You wanted closer or smaller guides but limited options or cost
You wanted specific poundage but again you may not find what you wanted

Etc etc etc...

Factoring all the possible demand or personal preferences, might as well build one smile.gif

For specific fishing mode, jigging can be ketiak game for light jigging. Some prefer support by arm, some prefer support via harness. In this case, body measurements is important to remove fatigue whilst fishing. Imagine you gotta jig or pop at least 2 thousands times a day. smile.gif

Another point is your reel, where every reel weight differently. With the right rod balancing, an angler would be able to jig the whole day. I've see many that pairs wrongly for the fishing method.

Another major point is the type of fish you are aftering. Eg: parrot fish would be best paired with fast tapered rod for high sensitivity plus a strong backbone. Heavy jigging best paired with 60/40 backbone to allow the jig plates to dance...

Too many factors to share. Gonna take a whole night to explore and explains smile.gif

But I'm sure you know where I'm coming from

u see, problem with parents is, nothing you do is right, if u just stay at home do nothing, they complain, go fishing they complain, go yumcha with friends always, complain, u read a lot, they say u dont go out and play, u go out play a lot, they say u dont stay at home. when later in ur life u move out cuz working somewhere else, they stopped complaining, cuz they dont see what u're doing, that's when u get ur freedom  drool.gif u see, when my mom comes down visit, she'll stay for a few days, everything oso complain, from my lunch and dinner time, to my everything, not yet on the fishing though she doesnt know that much lol. some ppl say families are the ones usually to bring us down, they are against everything we do. try tell ur parents u wanna do business with ur friends, b4 u utter the next word, they will stop u, giving u negative feedback. just food for thoughts  nod.gif

Well in this case, it's obvious that your parents is just trying to do their jobs. smile.gif

I can 100% say this: I rather them nagging than nothing from them at all

Also, once word of advise: you're gonna be like that when you have your own kids. The process of growing is with a lot of painstaking, patience and tremendously lot of love. Appreciate them. Have time to share with them of your thoughts. They are just possibly shooting in the dark co they know nuts about your plans smile.gif

thx vincent, guess i got it. 1 more question: a RM1-2k rod and a RM500 rod, is there such huge difference? i can understand guides affecting casting range, real seat and handle are for personal preference, of course balancing as well, but what else in there that makes it so expensive? an expensive rod blank and a normal rod blank, what kind of differences we're talking about? sorry man got a lot questions  tongue.gif

also, i'm looking at Daiwa Team rod, cost RM300, looks nice i really like it, or anyone has a better suggestion? (dont like cork handle) thx

Majorly comes fom the quality of the blank. This involve the amount of graphite, materials, bonding substance.. Etc. all these involves money.

Secondly, it's about research and development. The amount of test or damaged items due to testing has to be factor into account $$$

Thirdly, gaji of the rod builder, tester, design fella and machinery also factor in $$$

Import taxes???

Branding exposure $$???

A lot to go on with smile.gif

Pardon me with no puns intended: it's like you're comparing BMW with and type of rollable vehicle with engines biggrin.gif

Take BMW vs Honda and you relate it back to rod vs rod smile.gif thou shall find answers.... Hhahahahaha

Rory, u bought the reel seats and all adi? Can i slot in a additional order for a bc reel seat n split handle only? I've stripped the guides off my broken vengeance and would like to replace it with a custom. I will source for blanks on my own.

Sure do Bro Inv,
Please PM me specific item that you need.

For reel seat usually it's size 16, but you need to have the ID(Inner Diameter) first. What poundage of blank are you looking for? At least would be able to guesstimate the size of the ID smile.gif

Bro Inv,
Heavy rods better to use hyper ceramics or at least Fuji Hardloy.

For normal casting rod range of 20lb rods, can use any guides ler smile.gif Not extreme biggrin.gif Like Bro Acheong says, tip better with SiC smile.gif

BTW, arent you on standby mode?

Bro Acheong,
Will contact you once the parts come into pics. Current have the blanks but no parts yet. Will only order early next month when i collected part of the $$ from you guys smile.gif

Bro Inv,
The guides definitely damn ex particular on the quality ones.

Fuji SiC for example
A standard guides at RM150~200 per set
If low rider guides + small guides at RM500(this one confirmed, cos i build one for myself last year)

Bro ACheong,
Chances is that i will be getting ceramic guides and then the tips to be SiC
