as mentioned TCE Tackle is having a sale so it's to be expected their prices can be lower than the usual, eg at Young
Young has a good rep but they're not magicians
and being human, they may forget things

easy on the comebacks
this is just good natured ribbing .. camaraderie ... needs to start somewhere mah

20kg of drag is not unusual
there are other reels with more
just depends on purpose, design and $
5kg drag reels can handle fish in the xxkg no prob
rod works with reel drag in tandem ... 's y the rod bends under pressure
they need to be allowed to work together
what is more important is whether the drag is smooth or not
when drag is smooth, there is no jerking = no unnecessary stress exerted on line and reel
max drag values may not give you the real picture
general rule of thumb for some is to set drag at 25-30% of your line/rod rating
when you lock your drag ... be prepared to lose fish should the line snap, rod break, reel spoil
happy hunting

see that's the problem.....I've never caught anything that weight more than 500G.
what?
places where I do my fishing, they don't have fighters over there.
the largest fish I ever caught was a stringray the size of a shoe box!

Seriously?! Just get the size 200,for god sake

why!

actually .. .the starion 100 is more than sufficient then
the 200 is for the increased line cap
my eldest just had his first taste of a 3kg jelawat with a starion 100+15lb PP bitemotion on a spiral wrapped daiwa strikeforce 8-17lb
next was a 1.5kg pacu with an antares V2 with 14-16lb duel on a 6' 6" spiral wrapped Vicious Anglers
he didn't want to pass the rods to me ! lol

if you can cast really far then the 400 is unavoidable .. just to get those 500g fish from shore
otherwise, a smaller sized reel may just suffice

Klang Offshore fishing

what's a jelawat?
pacu I know......overgrown piranha with human teeth

look man. a baitcaster that is mount on an average 6ft batcasting rod probably has 15-20ft casting distance. depend how on your drag setting and how you swing it.
but when you mount a baitcaster to a 9ft - 14 surf rod ( i'm swinging a 9ft ), your casting distance increase in double easily.....
to add to that after every single cast.....there's only 20-30% line remain on my reel. if by luck the gods plan to give me a surprised and hook me a fighting fish, ima so screwed.

FYI i'm currently using pinnacle inertia finesse 12/120
FYI again......banax starion 100l also has the same line capacity as pinnacle.....12/120 while the 300 is 14/250
refer to this site : http://www.knkfishing.com/pd-banax-starion...ishing-reel.cfm

there's no banax starion 200......either 100, 300 or 400

what your line poundage anyway bro?
you seems lacked confidences in your gears/terminal tackles on 500grams fish
get a good braided line
10lbs line can fit in 250yards on the banax starion 300(paiseh,don have the 200 model)..that is morethan sufficient for 0.5-2kg fish.

need surfcasters to share input

hoven's carp.....strange name for such a normal looking fish.
oh well fresh water fish are never my thing....

i'm planning to load 30lb mono as mainline and 50lb mono as leader on my new reel........but anyway it not the line problem.
the problem is that I have never caught any fish weight more than 500g. so I don't know what will happen. chances are that fish gonna pull all my line out before it gets tired. so i'm gonna need a lot of line. strong line.

yo man.......um....I got a question....how do you know if the reel that you bought is faan pan or original?

FYI this is what banax starion look like in banax site


this is what they have in tackle shop and lelong.com.my


then there is this one with spool that has holes...



conclusion......I think i'm gonna either go for okuma with line counter or banax GMC. the banax starion.....unless they have left handed 400.

just bought 2 pieces of altima spoon today at OceanSport Fishing tackle Seri kembangan..gonna try this spoon next week

anyone use this spoon before?

Good spoon for hampala. Get Firetiger or Gold color next time.

I've used the pink spoon on ur right before back in the good ol'jurassic rawang days. . hooked up 3 toman's under such a short time of use. Indeed its a good buy, provided water clarity is quite good and good lighting is a must. slim chance in murky conditions.

well my blue 100 is like that gold 100 ... grey knobs and drilled spool
from what i've seen, the bigger versions do not have drilled spools
the newer versions carry those cork-like handles (for the 100 series)
that topmost unit looks kinda like a 400
anyway, if the site is not updated ..... heheheh
