different people different point of view I guess.....

then again I would spend more than 1000+ if i'm going to Australia for fishing......

fish are horribly huge and powerful over there.....

its not that I don't know how to appreciate a fine build reel........its I don't see the point in spend 1000+ on fishing gear only to catch fish weight about 3-5 kg

the place I used to go to fish......there's ain't no fish there that weight more than a kilo....

deepsea got la.

I used baitcasting reel its becoz its easier to cast heavy sinker.....
from my experience baitcaster not only cast further than surf reel but also more accurate.....
no offence

there're not many god reel and rod combo. ya. not good but god.
if you want long casting, reel that can keep lots of line, can get big fish like queen fish, long lasting,
i dont think your budget can.
get stella la. what kind of situation pun boleh.

with your budget i dont think you can get all those specs you want. in only one reel.

Im not rich buy my hobi is expensive..

nice setup. where u got ur bassterra rod? kinda hard to find these days, especially that model.

this reply so much win

i personally have not surf fished but i do know that bc allows further n more accurate casting. But is accuracy that important in surf fishing that requires precision of a bc?

saya bukan orang kaya tapi hobi saya mahal

my 2 cents, i think at the end personal satisfaction la. if u have no budget, skies the limit. just how would u like to enjoy ur fishing and the type of fishing u do
yes u can spend on a cheap setup but the question of durability comes to play. cheap doesn't mean it will breakdown faster, but then again there's always a risk
i've used cheap setups before, yes they get the job done. but beware that one day will come when u lost that trophy fish because ur gear malfunctioned or failed on you
there's a reason why some fishing equipment are so high priced and why ppl are willing to fork out money for good gear. those who have will know why

PS: stella is like butter...with 'poison' in it

Thanks bro. Where u live bro? I live in Seremban working in Putrajaya.

Hehehehe ,,, Kolam pon layan, laut pon jalan... Jommm ,,, dok mana bro? Aku baru nk menjinakkan diri dlm dunia memancing ni, dah penat asik main komputer je..

I got from Hasya Joran at Sri Kembangan near Taman Equine beside Jusco Aeon. Last 2 rod, my friend take 1 S65M Spinning. LOL plan just to look around but then "terbeli" .. When arrived home I realized that the rod is gooding n hard to find. Lucky me buy.. hehehe.. Actually my budget is Stella setup but after I think n think n think at the shop in front of the Stella, I decide to buy normal setup first.. Then start to play casting n jigging,,,, after PRO all that i will go to the PRO setup ..

Sorry to say bro, different ppl got different mission n pocket..
I build this setup because I will go for both fresh n salt water, either 'kolam' , river or sea even deep sea.. This 31st August got trip at Yan, so u think the RM300 setup will fit with it? This December planning to go Sabah and Chinese New Year trip at Taman Negara, Pahang..

Still got slot bro?

I used my antares for tilipia..btw my antares is rm1800,my rod abu garcia hornet rm600 and the tilipia is 600grams.can ah bro?

Perhaps he nvr did had the chance of using high end gears before.show him some mercy please.


Well said

oh but I can......

let do a reel cap on the ability I look for in a reel...

long distance cast ----> check
high line capacity -----> check
strong drag force ------> check
value for money -------> check

first up banax GMC cost less than 200


second okuma classic XPD pro also cost less than 200


last one...the one that I got my eyes on......
banax STARION 400l GOLD


izzit me or izzit that reel look like shimano Calcutta
