Guys.... I need a fish grip so that easier to release hook and can take photos... Will the mini ones around 17cm be k to use at Jugra? The ones I saw at digital cheapest RM50....
How about this one from Lazada at RM28?
I see most people use the grip to lift the fish when taking photos... Does it hurt the fish? Wheres the best place to hold them.. Lower lip?

Although fish feels no pain, but the fish grip will most likely cause damage to their lower jaw.

One word of advise is to test the fish grip before buying. It is essential that the lips of the grip is secure does not open easily. Usually the fish grip locks on to the lower lip of the fish.

help help~~

i recently bought a beginner rod and reel.
pair it up with 30lbs braided line.

everytime i cast, sure got fried meehoon flying out. so i remove the line and re-reel. got better after a few cast.

then whenever i cast further than the previous 1, it will come back again.
is there any incompatibility issue? or i have to tie a weight, and cast as far as possible several times to break in?

Usually break in are not needed. I suspect that you may have spooled it wrongly. Go search for some spoiling guide in YouTube to find out the correct way to spool a reel.

So the best thing to do now is re-spool, rite.
Later will take go respool and test this. Sunday.

But actually i already respool once.

WHen you said bihun fly out,.. meaning a bunch lines messed up after you cast outside of your spool ? Bihun on stuck on your rod ?
THat is one indication that your you have over spool or too much line.
Leave 2mm space on your spool level.

guys just sharing bit in case those wana find bit info fishing in sabah
boat capacity = 12 anglers
total damage = rm3k for 3 days 2 nites
facility = bunk beds, very basic, bathroom
meals provided - 3 times a day
usual place - Mengalun

so far that's all i know, i have yet to do my maiden voyage to deep sea
still preparing, no fren teach how also

dunno bro but i read on the signboard is daytime happy hour. maybe next 1-2 months if i do go i take pic for u.



option 1 - cheapest option
remove spool, soak in hot boiling water for 1-2 minutes. add big heavy weight and start casting 10-20 times. ok liao ba. last time when i play with nylon also usually will chau mai fun . now nylon is for make as leader string. FG knot with my braided best dowhhh huhu .


option 2 - expensive option
change to mono or braided. wont have such chau mai fun issue.

Anyone been to Tadom Hill? Understood that fishing is not allowed there, but there is a pond nearby, which is run by orang asli and fishing is allowed..any info guys?

At first very terrible. So i reduced line. Got better.but still have after casting several further than before distance. I will yry reduce line again.

I am using the following: with a 7feet rod.

[attachmentid=6580692]

[attachmentid=6580696]

This is braided? The one i use on my friend is "cloth line" he said. But i dun think its braided. Not like mine at all. His is colourful. Very soft. Looks really like cloth. What are those?
His line when cast, very smooth. Very quiet.



*i bought 200m. i think i still have around 50m on hand, and several m's on a bottle.

yes. it written there PE braid.

all also is plastic. PE is a type of plastic. they just take strands and braid it so it become sttronger and smoother. PE lines are what ppl in cantonese call "bou seng" = cloth line.

it prevents chau mai fun and since it is smoother gliding out, and lighter, they can reel more throw further and still have plenty of drag strength.


the colors on braided i know. my friend bought. more expensive, got indication 1. every color = x meter. dunno 1-5 meter per color. is just indicator.

The siakaps in Banting are getting smaller and smaller. More difficult to catch too.

Thats the indicator for water depth..mostly for jiggin kaki.

Used to be wild pond there if u search wikimapia it says haunted malay cemetery. Not so sure bout it now since that piece of land has been bought over.

PE = Poly Ethylene, its also a chart for line's diameter. Exp:
PE 0.6 =0.128mm
PE 0.8 =0.148mm
PE 1 =0.165mm

braided PE line that malaysia's tackle store carry are mostly base on dyneema or spectra filament lines

Dyneema brands = YGK,Yarivas,Duel,sufix etc etc
Spectra brands = powerpro,tuf line,sufix etc etc

Not to forget some ultra dyneema from "sunline & ygk"
