i did almost went for the graphite leader calamaretti rods, but going too light can compromise the durability. Wouldn't dare hedge my bets after hearing many reports of breakage, if anything should go for either breaden or evergreen ( matai)

thanks for the link, will have a look see for the model im looking for.

Yeah high glass/resin content makes it heavier but cheaper to produce. HMX is good? Hmm.

I would prefer if can get 7 feet at least, 2 pieces rod. already have a 6'6.

http://www.olympic-co-ltd.jp/enfishing/index.php/GLNBC-702H Would this be too stiff? cause its 12-30lbs.

Would love to own the Calamaretti one day hahahah
heck would actually love to own one of every Olympic rod if i could afford.
Theres always that fear of paying so much for a rod and worry it will break
Olympic manufactures blanks for Evergreen,.. nvr heard any evergreen broke yet


HMX is much better than the Eagle GT imho
why would you need a 7ft casting rod? wanna cast far out on land base?
12-30lbs definitely too stiff unless you planning to catch some monster toman on landbase.
if you are going for an all purpose rod then a 8-20lbs would be best.

Hmm over 7 ft 2 pieces & medium power,. i can only thinking of Majorcraft Corkish or Volkey & Sky Road but those will set you back from RM550 at least to RM670

egiing is damn addictive! you have been warned!
rods and jigs and youre good to go

Will check the hmx out if i see one. Yeah casting from land base so need a longer rod, plus im going to use it for casting and bottom fishing.

Im only going to pair it with penn 965 so i dont need very expensive rod. My 6'6 St Croix has served me well for the past 14 years and still going strong, thinking of getting another St Croix but feeling abit redundant haha.

The Corkish and Volkey looks good but abit on the expensive side The prices you quoted includes shipping to Malaysia?

Blue Jackets Shrimps where is that ?

Would love to try..

But isn't udang galah less meat ?

Hahah just another nick name for udang galah.
cos they look like wearing blue jacket.

correct bout the lesser flesh but good ol goey orangy high cholesterol best for sang har mee

Price included of meeting up in klang valley if you are still in Cyberjaya
Local rods ,.. hmm i may be wrong but it will be very difficult to find a medium power rod at 7ft and above.

Yeah still in cyberjaya. Ah man, too many rods to choose from. Might need one rod by next weekend for fishing trip.

Need to go shopping around for rod. I'll pm you if there is anything i need. Thanks Dan

Blue jacket.. do they have blue and yellow legs ?

The ones at Tropicana seem to have black & white and also blue & yellow type of prawns..

An uncle saw my hook yesterday and said it was the wrong hook for prawn fishing..

I bought it from a fish store and the packaging states shrimp/prawn/lobster , told me to get the ones that have a pre-weight to the hook..

I'm using a buoy system , so the line at the hook will have a weight and the buoy will balance it out to stay straight up.

He said that the pre-weight hook will stay straight in the water rather than my weight on the line at the end of the hook.

Do advice

black and white = tiger prawns, blue and yellow = udang galah.

I dont have much experience in prawn fishing but i believe pre weighted hook and hook with weight on top of the line does the same thing if the weight sits directly above the hook and not the knot.

ooooops, sorry, mate
misread the rm500 as rm200
sighh me eyes ... 'tis embarrassing

there you have it ... as presented by bro 1dollar

pre weight at the hook will let the hook stay at the same place... while having the hook upright, when u have weight on the line ur hook will travel around..

pro and cons
prawn is lazy they do not swim like fishes u need to hunt them

Gonna get a shimano rarenium ci4+ 2500 first i think. Rods suggestion to pair with it?

What i saw that i think is reasonable

Fenwick HMG - 7' rm280
Shimano Amenista 7'2 RM340

Anybody got experience with these 2 rods?

Some major craft rods also seems nice like the ones suggested.

if going for some big game fishes,.. try avoid CI4 or Zaion bodied.
its just graphite,.. expect some flexing on the frame and body.

anyone been fishing at the banting rm 3 pond ????

i try google it to only to discover there around 4 to 5 rm 3 pond

anyone been to the pond before ???

Guys, am just curious... if a shimano c3000 simply means 2500 size body + 3000 size spool, would a stella c3000 spool fit into a stella 2500 ?

should be able , my nasci c3000 and 2500 are same body size just the spool size abit different

Check this out.
