GT better than FG. Hehehe
Uni, double uni, Palomar, loop knot & Albright are my usuals.

sigh i miss fishing so badly....

So far I noticed best color at Jpond for hard lures will be something really silver flashy. shallow to mid water diving.

Soft lures,.. white and black works well,.. also noticed Chart tiger SP also good. Like Proclaimer said,,.. SP quite irritating when it comes to setting hook.
Higher chances for toman strike in the middle of the pond where the long water pipe sticking out and also near the white steel pondok.

Deep divers like fat raps or wiggly wart also good for tomans.

Max,
Try to go early and occupy hut no 10 or 8. by 730am they should switch the longer second pumps, cast your bait out there. cast about 5 feet away from the pump in the middle of the lake,.. mama pacu hang out there. For baung,.. cast out in btwn hut 8 & 7. Amazonians also like to hang out just to the left of hut 10 closer to the pumps along the shore, no need to cast far out.
Other good spot is in front of the counter, cast to the middle of the pond

You have a decent setup for multipurpose fishing. Not sure of your rod lbs rating, but your rig can do bottom fresh water n go toman hunting with live frog ot some large hard lures.

MH = medium heavy
usualy MH rating is 8-20lbs,.. thats should be OK for most multipurpose fishing.
Any current or under water current in that dam you heading??
Getting baung or any cat fish species will be easier if you have current,.. just use bloody or some fragrant bait.
Let the current drift the taste and smell,.. you will be surprise how sensitive those barbels are detecting food.
happy fishing. Cheers

Max,
You heading out later?? THink Inv heading there in the morning alone also.
One more spot to try if going bottom is behind the cafe,.. where the cook throw most the food into the pond heheh

Rofl.... Nate is doing fine & healthy. Yup I've been on night shiftever since he was born

You sure you wanna give away? Don't wanna try for number 2?
I don't mind freebies.... Inv also soon to be papa in 2 months.

Cheong,
Plenty rest now, got confinement lady now. Next month I susah ady.

I want one!! BC rod with that rating. if can get 6.3 - 6.6ft lagi best.
Rory,.. include me pls.


EDITED.
On second thoughts,.. have to hold back.... forgot i have a lil boss at home now that needs extra $$

Purefishing is organizing another workshop in Taylors lake side college on the 23rd March,

930am - 1230pm

I think there will be some lucky draw at the end also.
Go there,.. drink old town coffee, enjoy wash eyes,.. feast eyes on syt

Good enough for basic use but have not heard or read any reviews on it. More importantly,. hows the after sales support?
This model is good because u can just throw it out there and move it around with the floating sponge.
Other branded ones need to be tied down onto a pole or shaft mounted on boats.

SYT is a hardy species,.. usually spotted in shopping malls, clubs and discos.
BEWARE,.... this species can burn big hole in your wallet.
WAHAHAHHAHAHAH

No samples for the spinning models ?

Last time we started fishing so late,.. almost 11am.... all fishes went to sleep ady.
But who cares about the fishes,... just go wash eyes only.

Dont forget a hook keeper on that customise Rod heheheh

Folks,...
wanna ask,. fenwick are famous for the HMG, HMX and the Eagle GT, recently PFM brought in the elite series but i think its only the smallmouth series. Anyone seen any higher end Fenwick rods in our tackle shops?
AETOS
Elite walleye
Elite river runner

Havent gone window shopping for months.... but for Yozuri items,.. you should check out Sam's place & Digital tackle.

As for EAK,.... any fluttering, slow sinking lures will definitely attract those lil pocket rocket pacus.
So far we landed them on Ofmer Wander 50, Storm Fluttersticks, Grubs SP, small spoons.
Bottom dedaks and bread goot for the catfishes like Patin and Keli.
Spinfly for the whats left of the PBs there.

Again,.. distance and accuracy is all the technique you need in EAK,.. pacus swims in schools and often goes frenzy,.. if you can cast and land your lure right on the splashes,... you are for sure to land something.
Beware of potential snag places, especially the jetty across the lake. Few sunken dead trees there took some of my lures.

Can add hook keeper on the rod ?

Just curious,... MHX normal series blanks looks affordable.

Depends on what sort of splashes bro.
If its a rempit Toman hunting alone then you cast near the splash hoping the fish swam that direction.
But if Pacu school,..you canst onto the splash,.. cos theres more than 1 fish there.

Its up to you bro.
Some like leader 2 times the length of rod and kep snipping it shorter whenever its fraying.
There is no specific rule, generally me and my kaki use 1- 2 arm length (tip of finger to shoulder).
We join our Braid to Leader with knots without using clips.

----[braided]-----Connecting knot--------[leader]--------snap/swivel + lure

Useful knots for casting are
FG knot
GT knot
Albright
Double Uni

Again,.. there is no right or wrong method in fishing. Some uses :

------[Braided]----swivel-----[leader]-----lure+snap

as in what type of leader ,.. you need to know your terrain and area when you go fishing.
Paid pond like EAK, 10lbs leader is good enough. you can go up to 15lbs too. Not many big fishes to catch on Lures.
If its bottom or bait fishing then maybe you wanna try 20-30lbs.

Wild fishing, you dont know your terrain, safer to go heavy like 15-30 for lures. Because Lures are expensive and it get snag onto sunken stuffs.
River fishing like Tarpon or Juvi sebaraus,.... i think 10-15lbs shd be good if the rock are mostly rounded.

Floro and Nylon usually are thicker when the poundages number goes up. So go with the poundage instead of the diameter of the line.
What i usaully do is, maintain the same strength. 20lbs braid with 20lbs leader. If is want bigger fishes in Exotic,.. i will up the leader to 30lbs.
My Current setup
6lbs braid - 10lbs FC leader
10lbs braid - 12lbs FC leader
20lbs braid - 20lbs Mono leader
20lbs braid - 30bls FC leader
last reel runs on 19lbs Mono only.
