Hahaha can said like that laa

Damn all monsters level. How much per entry there?

Thumbless cast is also achievable with DC reel as long correct braking is applied. Just difficult to set to get long cast distance. Maybe i am not pro enough.

As for daiwa BC, the technology seem to be steps ahead of shimano. And they also own many design patents especially for BC reels.

I am not a hardcore caster where some of them even own more than 10 reels just for casting. Just enjoy fishing occasionally thus 1 reel is enough for me. And i love the zingggg sound when cast a DC reel.

I think decathlon didnt bring any commercial brand fishing gear. More to simple fishing set and accesories. Better head to any other tackle shop nearby. If in Kl can try jalan pudu shop beside the balai bomba. Forgot the name already but price there is competitive

Jetty fishing is purely luck. Just many small fishes play2 took bait. Hardly to hook any big fishes. More to lepak2 with friends is ok. Just dont go there with any high hope

Wahh this is hard. Usually for below 100 just go to shop try mix and match. Reel can get shimano fx around 50-70

Well since u didnt mention any deep water fishing then maybe spinning reel with size 3000 should be fine with 10-20lb rod spec pair with 20-30lb braid line. Can do bottom and also casting. As you gain more experience and given you still stick to this hobby, you will realize that you are going to need different fishing set for different fishing purpose. Welcome to the club.

Yeahh. It is interesting and addictive.

Happy new year.

The length can varies between 5'6" to 7' whichever suits you. If you plan on boat fishing later, don't get the longest one. 6' and below is OK. As for rods there are different construction such as 1 piece (one piece rod), 2 piece (middle joint or butt joint) and so on. 1 piece will provide good rod strength due to one piece construction but it is not convenient to carry. 2 pieces seem to be more practical to use.

There are many brand out there. Me personally prefer to use Shimano reels for their proven durability. Never had any problem with any reels I owned. There are many models within any budget range. Try to find the one without anti reverse switch because this is usually the point where water can easily get inside. And just remember no matter how expensive your reel is, it will rust and degrade if there are no proper maintenance done especially after each salt water trip. Learn to take good care of your fishing gears and they will take care of you. Btw line got jammed? I think it is more to spool got jammed. Usually water got inside the reel and wear down the grease. Rust bearing and bent shaft also can caused this.

As for rods, I don't have any special brand in mind. As long as it serve its purpose and feels good in hand then it should be fine.

Happy hunting!!

I rarely buy stuff online. If you have FB, there are many fishing group over there. You can find some great deal.
Or based on my own experience you can try find Sim Lim Fishing in FB. I bought my set once from them. Fast delivery and great services.

Ermmm not bad. Jugra?

From Yan trip last weekend. Only managed to land 2 giri with some small cencaru talang and grouper. Not really a good trip i’d say but still better than nothing

Bottom and jigging?

These were caught using balloon drifting (life bait from apollo). There were times where white feather lures are effective. Just need to cast fast enough using mono line (12/15lbs) with steel wire short leader. Casting with dead kembong are also effective at certain spot. Due to many techniques available, you’ll need to try them at every parked tuas and find the most effective one.

Gears used were mostly spinning reel size 3000/4000 with ratio 6.0 and above. Tenggiri over there are very sensitive to coloured braided so recommended to spool with full mono line.
