i watch a vid in youtube teaching how to use circle hook, it says u shouldnt set hook when fish bites, just reel in like how u normal fight the fish, just dont set hook. true ah?

true, i use circle hooks, too

All purpose hooks will do. If you want to try circles also can. Easier for lazy people but if you jerk it hard, you'll lose that fish.

less stress all around for both ...
circle hooks work by usually hooking the mouth corners as the fish swims off after taking the bait
once it's hooked, you need only hang on to the rod .. then pump and reel as you'd normally do
remember not to set or you'll lose the fish
last trip, i forgot i was using circle hooks and lost two big fish
whereas, my boatmate who helped catch my rod, just hung on and landed the fish ... lololol

handle damn gaya

Comes in single and double handle... of cos the single one is cheaper.

these are eging reels ... expensive, too ... might no longer be in production
had a friend who sold his for less than rm500 ... uwaaaaaa ... i had no $$$
extreme anglers had a 2nd hand unit on display ... not sure whether still there or not

fau,
it's more of letting your rod shake, bend, the bells ring, take up the rod and have fun
many of us auto strike when we pick up the rod, in this case .. no need
because if we do, we're pulling the hook out of the fish's mouth
all we do is hang on, then pump and reel pump and reel ... no need to strike

icic..thx

I think I saw a dude handling the reek in EA two weeks ago. Don't know if he finally bought it.

Wahlau less than 500?? which model ??
If your friend sold the white one for 500 jialatz cheap

The infeet model is the entry range which is about RM500.
The other 2 is about 1k-1.4k

no bro ... not the white
the emeraldas infeet on the left of the pic ... i've seen sticker price in the 700 range
was snapped up pretty quick on MFN

he let go plenty back then ... rods, reels
i bought two EA rods from him ... would've taken the third EA rod if i had the money

preloved tackle has nice pricing on myfishing.org
too bad i'm banana chinese

not a bad deal for a T3 that ... i add on RM100+ can get me 1 daiwa coastal 2500 with spare spool + 1 okuma VS15 and 1 okuma VS20 hehehhehehe ... opportunity cost + personal pref i guess


katsu bro, that ultegra is msian made if i'm not mistaken ... hence the cheaper price compared with a MIJ version which can be around 600
the ABU Neo is good price if good condition
