i have a similar rod as well, 8-17lb 6 footer also. works well, casts practically anything between 7 to 20g. just that i would also keep another heavier one for heavy cover areas.

didn't come in for some time see plenty of poison lololol
good show people ... very nice catches .... hope to join some day

newbie in fishing equipment here. can any sifu recommend me what can i get with, let's say ard rm500-600?

oh,just plan to play with freshwater.

What fishing would you like to do? Casting? Bait?

Generally get a size 3000 shimano and a 6-7 feet 8-16lb rod would suffice for general usage. Although its not as fun as a dedicated rod and reel for a specific purpose.

Hmmm bro...im just wondering why would you reco shimano instead of daiwa?i mean,i would reco shimano too..just why lah

wanna ask..
thinnest 10lbs flourocarbon leader can buy in malaysia..

Which would be the best choice?
Saw these few models around:
1) Daiwa Legalis
2) Ryobi Ap Power
3) Penn Battle
4) Shimano Sahara

All within 2000-3500,i think.

Later gonna survey for rod pula

probably vanish

megabass dragoncall should be quite thin

Lower end daiwa spinning not as good as shimano, except for the newer 2014 models like the exceler, not bad reel for rm300, looks awesome too but hard to find 2014 daiwa here yet so didnt recommend daiwa

All the new daiwa's looks great man, but the magseal thingy seems to bother me.

Shimano also easier to get spare parts i think.


1) Daiwa Legalis - Better get the 2014 daiwa exceler, better in every aspect with slightly added $$
2) Ryobi Ap Power - Good but heavy, not suitable for casting.
3) Penn Battle - Battle old model, better go for conflict, again heavy but good value for the price.
4) Shimano Sahara - Sahara not bad, a step up would be Nasci although i hate the plasticky handle

better tell us what you planning to fish 1st , if not hard to tell you what to buy

Yea I've made the trip to kepong tackle because I could never get some one to at SS2 to answer my calls.

I stay in Subang though which is why I'd prefer to head of to SS2 instead of kepong.

Ahh thanks! 10PM is awesome! So they are only closed on Sundays?

The most shocking thing happened today while fishing, literally

While casting I can feel static shock on the rod, and it wasnt a minor one, I can hear *pak pak pak* sound from the static electricity while the line was going out, the jolts from the static hurts quite painfully every cast. The static even charges the reel!

It went on for a good half an hour or so before the static electricity died down. Damn what an experience

Electric eel huh.lulz

My first ever fishing gear will reach next week! Been following my dad using his since I was a kiddo back then. Anyway,i got the ryojin 3k n an Expert 6' 10-20lb. Now the next question is when I get the chance to start fishing lol
