i'm going out via pekan. anyone wanna follow ? tentatively august mid. still got some slots remain. 8 ppl so far so another 3 more i kolos shop. 2d1n only.
yes is hungry ghst month i know.
who wan detail, lemme know. night sotong jiggers 80% of them including myself.
bro max - my ajiking wahoo still good wor. compared to penn, my ajiking is shameful la. but among the mid range , i still think penn is #1. i dont own 1. i hope to own 1 because really tahan lasak 1.
in the RM500-1000 range, i still think penn is leader. maybe okuma users can share their expewrience with okuma ? dunno anyone who owns okuma so far. bannax and bossna ya, bagus also. my friend's bannax oredi 3 years constant fishing. tahan lasak also. ATC so-so cause now price up for valur series. the valiant i know quite faulty. my friend mia atc valiant 5000 masuk kilang claim 3 times already.
I think durability is very subjective. But i had no issues with Shimano reels during the many years of ownership. People keep saying that daiwa is more durable but I don't think that is the case.My saltiga overhead is prone to salt corrosion issue for example. That is only true for older gen penn made in the USA. Newer ones made in China the quality is all over the place. Same goes to banax when they were made in Korea years back.
I dont know how you can categorize Shimano and Abu with okuma and ajiking. They are not even on the same playing field.
the category of durable and not very durable. not category of mid range, high end, 12 bearing 14 bearing. just between durable and not very durable.
for me only penn and banax sit in the durable range. the rest fall into the not so durable category.
next week thursday oni i go. my pond kakis all went liao, all give thumbs up. pacu there is killer so either u 80lb leader or u straight metal leader. they also poison me.
Can play float anot? Cant find from their FB page. Float and pacu damn syok yo. And what bait do the pacus eat? If get the right bait then they strike very fast
mr tang is owner of greenbait. this vid taken very recently. u might wanna try his recipe.
bentong area not pay pond. is wild. u can go try your luck. alot of pond there alone the bentong-raub road. other than that, i dont think got anymore in klang valley liao. overdevelopment jor.
thx bro but not looking for casting at the moment kena poisoned deep sea dy and looking electric reel almost all anglers on boat using electric nowadays here oh
yaloh hehehe wahh too much for me bro haha deswai looking around for used ones first eh btw guys, u guys know any online trustable shop or not? a fren and i looking around for online shops to check out the china sites don't sell cos i think it's too long for package local malaysian as well as international sites are welcomed
i do know they carry ATC range. maybe they might carry shimano range also. i try to ask unker david see whether east side got any reputable shop u can visit. sabah right ?
i kept all my metal lures aside, nowadays, every outing i rely totally on soft bait. lighter, easier to carry. can straight tie to braid, no need leader unless certain conditions. less strenuous than doing vertical.
paddle tail 4" cukup mantap oredi. spooled braid ----> jighead or pinhead -----> glittery skirting ----> soft plastik ------> up fish ! no need goyang all day long and rest 15 minutes . just flick flick and flick flick and flick flick.
like rawang exotic only except is all red tail amazon.
i still not yet go s24. too packed on weekend nights. rawang exotic still RM 100/4hrs and i landed some unknown fish that day. long tail twirly. almost like keli hybrid type. gave me super good fight.
didnt fish . i kept my promise. i left my rods & gears at home. i did follow my friends though. 1-2 hours after they fish then we yam cha elsewhere. officially, i was photogrpher.
i was at exotic just last friday. friend brought up alligator gar. apparently got 4-5 of em in the pond now. all diff sizes. also popped into j&j with another friend couple days back. pacu 7.3kg. good fight. light gear tomman 1000 with 12lb braid + 20lb leader. by the time hit the shores, the line almost putus.
i going off also, 20-22 this month. sotong season is here. good luck and safe journey to all who are heading out. waters should be a bit ferocious though.
just came back from penyabong . sotong season , high tides strong current sunny day windy night. best.
