Will check out the rod and reel that you suggested. What else that i need to know about fishing while waiting to buy the equipments? Thank you very much for all the info guys.

Street, don't need tackle to join ... most kakis anywhere welcome newbies
you get a chance to ask, find out, discuss, try out .. as our bro has also volunteered his spare

i personally think that's the best way to go ... unless you know what you wanna do adi and it's just a matter of getting what you want/need

mebbe read up (as alternative to joining kakis) on various types of fishing one can do
fresh ... salt ... pond, lake, impoundment, river, stream, sea
rod & line poundage, purpose
proper use of drag
suggest you pop by a tackle shop or so to window shop, talk to proprietors
hold some reels & rods in your hands .. get a feel
hold ABU, daiwa, shimano rods and reels ... compare prices
read more .. ask more ... hehehhehehe once you've identified what you wanna do and get, it'll be easier to decide what gear to get on 500

most salt payponds cost slightly more than FW payponds
some allow you to take back the fish
some don't
some repurchase the caught fish from you and you reduce your fishing fees
i like Tow Foo Sportfishing in rawang rm20 per rod per person the whole day
luring and bottom allowed, treble hooks not allowed, CnR, except for tilapia ... IF you can get 'em
wanna try Fish Valley but haven't had time yet

i got Majorcraft Basspara 7ft Spinning 5-10lbs,.. bought in last month up for sale.

Also got a Majorcraft basspara 6.3ft Casting 10-17lbs to let go,... action not too bad for PB and haruan hunting.
Letting go cos I wanna upgrade. PM me if you keen.

any place around kl/pj have majorcraft's rod?

SS4 anglers Central will be your best place, they are sort of the primary importers.

paiseh... find no map.... roughly working hour??

Ocean Sea also sells MC rods,.. so does SS2 tackle.
SS2 aunty gets her stock from the same supplier as SS4

nice dispute on the expensive pay pond,.. some may not agree to pay RM100 and take nothing back.
But some would agree that visiting Jpond is worth every penny,.. wheere would you get to land 10-20 toman and haruans within 3 hours?
City slickers like me find it worth paying as we dont have much time to explore wild places due to time, other commitments and also no 4x4 or boat to explore.
Even like Exotic,.. although the landing rate is not as good as jpond,.. but once you hit a massive mama,.. addiction satisfied.
Just my 1 buck b****in.

good take, 1 dollar bro ...
for me it's just pocket ... sure wouldn't mind paying just to feel the fight .... hehehhehe

i totally understand you,.. will join your club soon next month onwards hahaa
But i think going to jpond or exotic once a month is OK geh.
Some also wont agree cos wild fishes fight stronger... that also i totally agree.
But work calls,.. we have to be on stand by most the time.

might i add that planning our schedule is easier too.

wild fish hunting can take up to 3/4 of a day... and with missus and/or kids in tow, who has that kind of luxury of time to go hunt...

Do you guys go to any forum or blog that have any article/ tutorials/ reviews on fishing? I might go back to home town to grab 1 of my cousin fishing rod, how to see which fishing rod should i take because he got a few of it. He wont be there to teach me about fishing stuff because he pass away last year, his parents ask me to take his fishing rod if im interested.

sorry to hear about your cousin.

just grab his gears, take a picture and post it here and we should be able to tell you roughly what game those setups are for.

Thanks for the fast reply.

One more question, why don't people just use one thickest rod and reel to do all the fishing, whether small or big fish? why do people need so many setup for different size of fish ?

then it'll be like using a tennis racket to play badminton and squash and vice versa.

lol, understood.
