Have you all checked out thoes new Daiwa Steez for this 2014 ??
http://all.daiwa21.com/fishing/item/reel/bait_rl/ss_sv/

Price dropped MUAHHAHHAHA

wahlau,.. sibeh bad shape.
his price still the same ? RM800 ?

is it just me or all the videos o the knots are variant of FG knots?

Video by Einjahr is known as GT knot i think... i used this alot now rather than FG. the middle uni knot stops the line from slipping.

Video by OlgaC4 is FG knot.

GT knot if not done neat, might feel that lil bub going thru or sometimes stuck at the tip when retrieving in.

I find USDM Shimano messing up the market.

2014 Curado is now lower than Chronarch CI4??
Features are too close and similar between the Curado & Chronarch CI4 & Metanium 2013

Curado E used to be the best value for money with Brass gears that are strong and lasting. Curado G made it all cheap now.

Chronarch succeeded as "the new" curado with same specs only without the brass gears.

Core was the MG version of CU51E/CH51E.
Funny how they are still selling all the old ones and adding the new models with just new SVS infinity brakes and micro gears as the main new features. Both are great innovative upgrades... but as a buyer.. i get more confuse on where I should spend my money... Reel A B C D all similar,.. just CI4 or Alu body with some minor diffs like bearings and gear ratios or spool size....

HMMMMmmmm... what do you think ?

Nice PIcs and Video....
Saw a lot of familiar faces hehehe

Thx fr sharing.

1st Place winner was a malay guy.,.. hardcore MB fan and collector.
Ginson won second place... kesian him.

Sabre tackle in KL @ Off Jln Loke Yew

repair damaged internals? or just normal servicing?
Sam's place does servicing (red Hot tackle)
Kenny also does servicing (Extreme anglers)

If its damaged internals,... hmmm not too sure if you can still get parts for that old reeel.

Zillion TYpe R - USDM
Only features more BB and carbon handle compare to the normal zillion. Lighter weight andyesmm the cranking feels weird, notsolid feeling when handle being spun.

J-Dream - JDM
Solid feel, smooth! worth every penny spent. Unique ultralight weight duralumin spool only made for this model.

Zillion is a very multi capable work horse reel.
J-Dream . PE Special . HLC are among those worth keeping in your collection.

Limited Editions like the 50th Anniversary or the TD Zillion 7,3 100 also worth keeping.
Only some minor differences bwtn all the Zillions above,.. some comes with CRBB and some dont. Handles are different but mostly the spool set them apart.

You want SS SV ?

Weedless Top water frogs would be the best.
Sadly i am just another city slicker,.. have got chance to fish in any tali air.

dayum! no pic ?

Spin fly with 2ft leader seems to be the best. try goign early before the water sports activity starts.
Fish thick weeds,.. cast and let it sink deep

Ermm i use cheap @$$ apollo with this white feathers then i add my own glitters and other stuffs.
best to look at your christmas tree decor,.. pull some shinny stuff and tie to the apollo hook

didnt get any from the weekend's angling fair ?

Quite boring actually. No Daiwa exhibitor.
Main attraction was Tackle source with full Major craft display.
Shimano biggest booth showcasing all their reels.

And that about it,.. left in an hour or so.

Long time hiatus.

Alphas no longer in the market. Purple 103, Type F, Tye R all obsolete liao
Now only Alpha Finesse buts its for FW only.

Would suggest to get the Zillion PE or the new upcoming Morethan PE SV (tatula PE)
For light SW game the KOHGA 100 (similar to alphas body)
Best to go here to view the bass FW and Salty BC reels.

Sharing some sad news, 3 lives lost at Kuala Selangor after they went out on boat for prawn fishing.

Those of you who cant swim or think you can swim, please put on safety vest. Never know what you may hook up especially at estuarine areas, slaty crocs fav places.

Susah bro,.. me long time no go fishing also.
Kena lokap most time taking care of my Son these days.
If go fish white fruit,.. i am so on. HAHAHAH wet lures or walk some lures an hour or so.

aiseh,.. i missed all drama.

There are not right or wrong method for fishing HAHHA
just a matter of what bait you use and how you use em to get what sort of fishes.

THose on lure fishing are usually hooked to the thrill of the first wham and pull.
On bait fishing,.. that split second of fun is gone when you run to your rod to set hook.

Lure colour/type/size does play a role on getting fish vs going back empty handed. A lot got to do with presentation.

I think RuneX experience a lot of wild fishes where fish are not that particular with bait/lure because they have not get caught.
Where most of us goes to pay pond or even recreational ponds, most of the fishes have been caught and release many times that they are smart enough to be picky on what to bite.
