what babyfair?

Below that price point, you may also consider the go.emotion series from major craft. Blank is pretty solid. The only drawback is that the guide count is at the minimal, styling like winding check, aluminium bits are non existence.

yea, the nemesis rod has quite a following locally. one of those peng leng jeng rods.

firstly, you need to know what's the usual lure weight that you want to throw with it.

from experience, baitcasting outfit shines when throwing bigger baits.

the lighter the lure you want to throw using baitcasting, the more you have to fork out for equipment.

bait/lure weight below 4.5g is best to use spinning set.

if you cast a lure below the rated value, then you won't get distance. this is because the lure is not heavy enough to 'load' up the rod during cast.

if a lure is above the rated value, then the chances of breaking the tip of the rod goes up. some rods are durable enough to do this, but not all rods are made equal.

that's great! good effort!

what I usually does is, do my cast, and just let the brakes do everything else. thumb when the lure hits the water to prevent spool overrun. distance wise, might lose to the experienced thumb, but it's a fair trade-off.

concentrate on your rod la!

might i add, one piece rods are preferred over two piece whenever space isn't a constraint.

avoid the abu vengeance series. broke one myself.

yups.. new racun again.

the lexa is still on the shelf and daiwa is announcing a new reel. i hope the t-wing system is reinforced as well. i've seen pictures of the t-wing system being sawed away by braided line..

lip of the reel if i'm not mistaken.

further more, the flap looks flimsy as well. i guess it's still ok for bass fishing. don't know how good it will hold up against those monsters in exotic or some wild mama toman...

the t-wing technology is good. i buy the whole idea but imho, it has a inherent design flaw, which is the metal bar that presses the line down to the bottom of the T during retrieve. fighting small fish wouldn't put that much stress on the mechanism, but i guess that's why the drag rating is not any higher.

morning or night game?

hmm, knowing my schedule, i'd be happy with any session atm.. haha... will let you know when i'm free to go again...

apajadi?

Buy buy buy. Time to refresh your gears lineup.

What is in your shopping list?

Ryoga will prove to be one of the best purchase u have ever made. Just got one myself and I'm very impressed with it. Paired it with the tempest and I find it very castable. From 1/6oz jig head up to 12g crankbaits.
