True dat viox!

So another year is gonna end. What fishing equipment did you regret buying this year? And what you should have bought instead?

As for me, I regret buying the Abu revo ltx. Should have just followed my heart and gotten the px68 instead which I eventually did.

Regret for not keeping atleast one piece of is71 racin/illu for myself.

regrets if any would be the Shimano scorpion XT, since I'm living in Sabah, not much of a hotspot for freshwater casting i'm afraid.

Guys, I think the metal plate that makes the ting ting sound within my reel's drag knob is broken.

Any idea on where i can find a replacement plate ?

can't the scorpxt be used for saltwater?

Shimano claims its saltwater-safe which requires more regular maintenance but from reports i've heard, its quite finicky in saltwater.Hope im wrong though

not having enough $ for the reels i want

any report from giant grouper paypond?

ok time for me to get new fluorocarbon leader 40lb for sea fishing, any recommendation? the one i'm using left me with some stories of "the big ones that got away"..failed on me a few times, and it is not cheap

what model and brand were you using? breakage at snap/swivel?

Which giant grouper pond bro?
LS saltwater pond - fish too big,leg belum recover to play.
Tiger5 - 6hours fishing average 9- 12 grouper.

wut do you guys think about the daiwa zillion type r? I had the opportunity to play around with the reel last week and was pretty much impressed with the thing...

there was also the zillion PE special but comes with a shallow spool, how does the two fare against e/o?

The PE special have adopted faster level wind to lay the PE line in such a way as to prevent the line digging into the spool. The rest are just cosmetic change.

D.A.M, Imperial fluorocarbon...cost me RM60++ for 20meters..broke at the middle, not snap/swivel lol..there was this incident, i hooked up a 2-3kg patin, and when the fish is right in front of me, it did a last dive and the line just broke, its a 40lb line i was using, and there was no structures or tree branches between the fish and the line (as it was so close i could still see the fish), and the line was still new when i got that fish. i would say it failed me on 3-4 occasions out of the total of 20meters, so that's kinda dissapointing i guess, even tomman line i used last time was better lol

the one u guys were planning to go? was it LS saltwater pond? 9-12 grouper total or per person? any pics to poison us? I havent seen a live fish for 3 months already man

it's tiger 5. in changkat kruing, sitiawan. Photos from our trip in the link below. heheh

waiting for mine to come in a few days time.

Anything with the word type R is a champion reel

heard taman desa paypond shut down, anyone can confirm this?

finally managed to molest ryobi slam, looks nice, feels nice, very light. its RM200-250, depending on size, from 1000 to 6000

Yep confirm. Drove past it over the weekend.

why shutdown?

If im not mistaken,They've changed the ownership numerous times d.

The Tatula type R is a sweet toy, coming soon to KK sometime ( i dunno when), but while researching similar reels from this category, I 'discovered' Shimano's latest offer - again i'm hopelessly infected, looks like i'm prolly selling my scorpion soon...

but business was very good

Hmmm I would say not really

Those rohu gang keep aiming that pond everytime new fish was release, each time take 10 to 20 kg fish home.

The boss was in bad mood all the time.
Before attracting more customers fish already been
Sapu by those fellers

what do u guys think of Shimano Curado G, 6.5:1 ?

How is the warranty goes ? I am buying an used unit, buyer told me he hasn't sign the warranty card yet.

So where do I send to if I need to claim warranty ? Kepong Tackle ? coz he bought it in Sarawak ?

those foul hookers? I was there fishing once with my friends. Pond wasn't very productive. Saw this bunch of guys bout 3 person came in and fish. When we left we saw them going back with loads of fishes and my friend told me they foul hook the fishes one.

any reviews on this blank? seems kinda interesting. RM215 for the blank.

that pond allow using multi hook bomb rig , so foul hook is expected

but what i wanna say is their bait is really powerful , if you bait aint good the fish wont even go near to the hook
so foul hook is out of the question.

if you ever try fish next to them you will know out of 10 fish maybe only 1-2 is foul hook
the rest are pure fish bite.....

right.. can't really judge coz i was there only once and i barely even noticed how they fished.

Saw some 1 selling in gnp unuse condition @ rm720

http://www.theasianangler.com/issues/jul20...ndex.html#20-21

GnP ?whereabouts is that? am looking at the left-hand wind model (CH151CI4) with the (6:2:1 gear ratio)

i know there's one mid 30's young man, will come with his porsche every afternoon, 3 hours fishing, back with at least 20 rohu..he doesnt play foul hook, he just cast, leave his rod alone, sit aside and chit chat and smoke... too bad he doesnt wanna reveal his bait

now that tmn desa is closed, bukit jalil pond is full almost everyday. shah alam pond damn packed on weekends, guess i'll visit paypond on a free weekdays, in seksyen 24 pond only

katsumoto, mind sharing your greenbait recipe for seksyen 24 pond? u using pandan, banana, or soya?

Warranty is usually for manufacturing defects only. Doesn't cover mishandling and wear and tear. They will still charge you labor and parts.

Curado series is quite well-known. One of those work horse reels from the shimano family.

yes, bro vios ... Phil's mag ... last July issue

took off as soon as you mentioned it! the thing was booked so my offer still pending, just keeping my fingers crossed.

In anyway, we should be able to order models like this from any reputable Shimano tackle shop rite?

Hey guy, anyone know a good botman to bring around fishing in klang area? Quite urgent.

800bucks.

that pond cant really say which bait will work on that day, all i try also land fish before
just that sometimes you need to guess which bait is their appetite for that day.....

usually i bring all flavor , i and 2 more friend always make different flavor
to avoid being same , with 3 rod 3 different flavor see which 1 got more activity
then we know that day the fish tend to take which flavor.

if you dont want buy all , then go for the soya 1st

this week i m heading over , you wanna join me ????


bro just a reminder that geng niaga FB page quite alot of conman lurking

just on the safe side never bank in any money , ALWAYS ASK FOR COD

thanks for the advice, i think i'll head out to the Shimano store tommorow and do a pre-order... the fact that a fair number of ppl having the chronarch ci4 is a good omen that the model is available in local markets .

well an alternative if you really want to buy something from GNP but couldn't COD in KL area, could always ask for our help to COD for you.

will keep that in mind, thanks guys.

would love to join you, but i find weekends are too packed to my liking to fish..u going on sunday or saturday?

Just thought I'd share my new year's present, the Chronarch CI4+
Bagged this little beast at a sweet deal at $700 at my local shimano store. Till next time guys, kudos!

Pheeww wiit~Seexay!

Nice catch!

Some racun for the weekend..

sunday morning , usually i fish for 10 hours

Sweet deal indeed.

Was thinking of getting either the chronarch or the tatula.

what time u start?

If i had that kinda budget i would go for abu premier or stx

Chronarch is an icast winner last year but the tatula type r is an interesting concept nontheless, but i suggest the tatula r then we can compare-

I don't really like the magnetic braking system implemented by Abu. The Daiwa magforce z and v system is vastly superior. Furthermore, Abu revo series has basically 0 resale value. Would take a shimano / Daiwa over Abu anytime.

I'm still waiting for my tatula-R to reach. Damn US snail mail takes ages to reach malaysia. 3 weeks already.

Anyone doing any pond fishing on next week's public holidays?

Got the tracking numbers from the seller d?

Got tracking number. But it's not live like poslaju or FedEX or DHL. If you key in the tracking number right. It will show you it has been delivered. Period. No further information available.

Word of advise, never ever ever buy online if your seller is using UPS Mail Innovations. UPS Mail Innovations is equivalent to POS Malaysia a.k.a normal mail. Read a lot of reviews online only after I bought my reel. Should've checked earlier. Damn. Most of the Amazon seller uses UPS Mail Innovations.

Don't worry sure reach you house. Will take 3weeks+-.

How much is the reel? if more then RM500 probably at Kastam now.

This post has been edited by OlgaC4: Jan 10 2014, 08:02 PM

around 7 or 8 am

I'm not too afraid coz i bought through Amazon. So worst case scenario I don't get my reel in 2 months, I'll just file the case and get my money back.

The reel is about RM520 if not mistaken. Or bout 550. Lets just hope it's not at kastam. How to know if my reel is at kastam and how do I get it back?

if more then 500 kastam can charge you for import tax

check your mailbox see got any red color card , if got the GG liao

Can you pm me tracking no. I order over 30 items from US using normal mail. All reached my house. Can kautim with kastam

Can you give the link of amazon also, just recall ups innovation is the slowest . Took almost 1.5 months

This post has been edited by OlgaC4: Jan 10 2014, 11:23 PM

fingers crossed. as of now there's no red color card.

I'll pm you in a bit.

They are closed during christmas. Might take longer time but it will reach your house. High percentage kastam will not kacau since less then usd 150

This post has been edited by OlgaC4: Jan 11 2014, 08:44 AM

Oh serious?!
I've severals times of megabass reel and each cost about rm1900-rm2700 +/- seeems to be okay le.
Bro fookie try tracking if is poslaju.com by choosig pos berdafter

No luck. Posdaftar got no result
