ok time for me to get new fluorocarbon leader 40lb for sea fishing, any recommendation? the one i'm using left me with some stories of "the big ones that got away"..failed on me a few times, and it is not cheap

what model and brand were you using? breakage at snap/swivel?

Which giant grouper pond bro?
LS saltwater pond - fish too big,leg belum recover to play.
Tiger5 - 6hours fishing average 9- 12 grouper.

wut do you guys think about the daiwa zillion type r? I had the opportunity to play around with the reel last week and was pretty much impressed with the thing...

there was also the zillion PE special but comes with a shallow spool, how does the two fare against e/o?

The PE special have adopted faster level wind to lay the PE line in such a way as to prevent the line digging into the spool. The rest are just cosmetic change.

D.A.M, Imperial fluorocarbon...cost me RM60++ for 20meters..broke at the middle, not snap/swivel lol..there was this incident, i hooked up a 2-3kg patin, and when the fish is right in front of me, it did a last dive and the line just broke, its a 40lb line i was using, and there was no structures or tree branches between the fish and the line (as it was so close i could still see the fish), and the line was still new when i got that fish. i would say it failed me on 3-4 occasions out of the total of 20meters, so that's kinda dissapointing i guess, even tomman line i used last time was better lol

the one u guys were planning to go? was it LS saltwater pond? 9-12 grouper total or per person? any pics to poison us? I havent seen a live fish for 3 months already man

it's tiger 5. in changkat kruing, sitiawan. Photos from our trip in the link below. heheh
