Nice place you got there Sneaky Leaky.

If not mistaken, it's a direct river flow into it. Not a very big damn tho, approximately 700~800m line of sight. Dont mind to make a trip there.

possibility of toman very little, perhaps you may want to target sebarau or baung.

Bro SL,
Boat and thruster not a problem...

Now have to check with Bro Chun if he is keen to go..

Bro Acheong and fellow Anglers,

Below is the design which i could think of and it's one of it's kind in term of design.

I have also mix and match from various rods available and ABC into one....

All comments appreciated.





In order to lighten the rod, there will not be any winding check and aluminum bling blings... BUT again, i may add 1 or 2 winding checks to balance the rod effectively.

Comments?

do i tie a long line to the milo tin? i need to retrieve it after i toss it right? seems kinda irresponsible to just leave it in the dam lolol
this seems like a really good idea! thanks!

hey guys! newbie here, if it is possible i would like to have advice and suggestions by you guys here. ive been going to a dam near my place



however after many many tries, me and my friends could not get anything at all. not even a nibble! i am really annoyed and wondering how on earth can a damn so big can have no fish in it!!

probably we are casting at the wrong places, or maybe we should fish there at night since fish will look for food at night. the bait we use are nightcrawlers (fat earthworms). the damn is very deep as you would expect.

Details about the Dam
- Very Deep
- Has grasses and weeds along the banks.
- Has birds flying around and picking up small fishes on the surface
- occasionally has fishes splashing water on the surface
- water is dark slightly murky black

any suggestions would be great! thanks!

Guys, jpond allow the use of baits like pellet/dedak/chicken intestine etc?

very nice, rory ... personally prefer a shorter butt end with the slant the other way around ... as in when the rod is laid to res in a rod holder, the butt is level or flush with the ground
also prefer non-ACS trigger ... find the ACS a wee bit ... bulky
but yes, salute !

skeletal or two piece seats will save weight, and increase sensitivity, too ... but no idea bout the cost tho'

would suggest you to try it on exotic pond. chicken liver/gizzard

I was thinking to use pellets and earthworms when i go to Exotic (maybe this weekend). Will these work? Coz i see that day almost eveyone's using dedak.

We'd tried gizzard,livers and intestine.
Haven't tried dedak b4.might workout,no harm trying
Mind I ask which package ur planning to take?
Coz rm 100/3hours pull fish only.
Rm 50/hour - jackpot+ fish below 1.5kg can bring home,certain species only.

BTW u might wanna consider to bring your own rod stand,those rod stand which provided from the pond are all homemade welded metals. Which might dmg ur Eva handle when u attempt to pull your rod out from striking a fish.

How did the gizzard,livers and intestine go? Many bites?
Minimum 1 hour also can rite? Btw its RM100 for 4 hours now to pull fish(got an uncle told me)
If i was fishing i think i'll just hold the rod in my hand..

Bro Acheong,
The picture above is not meant to scale. I'll do another one which have proper scale for you to see... The angled butt can change direction.

If non ACS, then there's only ECS and TCS. ECS and TCS more bulky leh. Not so much of finger resting position too...


ECS

TCS

As for the split handle, need to specifically order from Matagi which is around 25USD each. Our Fuji disti in Malaysia(Sea Tackle) doesnt carry these fancy reel seat.


Split handle AKA Acid seat AKA Naked seat

However, if you still prefer the split reel seat type, i could figure something out
