Just got into fishing with my friends recently.
Caught these. Are these called ikan jelawat?



Tomoro morning go again. This time for haruan.

thank you!
fished more of these rohu and released.
donno why only these came. hm.....

guys, can please recommend me a rod and reel for beginner fresh water fishing?
If possible, enough to fish tilapias to haruan can already. Dont want too many rods and reel. hopefully one will do.

budget around rm500+- for fishing set. (set aside rm100 for some hooks and weights,lines)

looking at "BOSSNA-ARREAT-3000" at the moment with no rods to go with.
Or maybe i should just get something lower will do?

thank you!
will go and do some research on it.

btw, does it matter with the amount of bearings on the reel?
some range from 1 to 3, while some comes up to 10.

so i surf thru the pages, found some big fishes fished.
are those fish brought home or released back?Or it was not meant to be brought home 1?

besar giler!

any recommended local websites that can buy fishing gears etc?
thanks!

any body tried fishing with cencalok/budu in their mixture of baits?

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?

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.

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.

thanks for the "conversion" rate. but tis also meant my reel was not over spooled.
since i have two rods/reels to test, the problem only exist on my rod. so i dun think should be casting skills bah...

nm. later i will be going again, this time will take a weight and cast kao kao far and soften the line see.





*i took some line out, holding up free hand from ground, it can even twist together. any idea?

what is that Apollo in concern?
and why should he be dead?newbie here too.

but, whats that "apollo"?
a kind of weight/sinker?


the only apollo i know.

Need suggestions in one with the same similarities with above. Cant find them locally. Want get tis replace my problematic reel....

Been using my friend's, very smooth and nice. No tangle etc. So want get one like this.

any particular model of stradic? i try to find and see.
i am in ipoh too bad. cant find the soron in ipoh.

excuse me.
so i did a search on 11street. stradic 3000 need rm1.xk above? and spare spool rm4xx onwards.
normal? or 11street penipu scanner me?

lazada dont have.

yeah!!!
found my soron hiding somewhere in a shop in ipoh.
fast fast grab without thinking much.

update: Using soron stx40 + my 7 feet rod very smooth. So problem lies with my altitude 4000 reel.


Now the shopkeeper tell me, that reel cannot cast far and hard one. This is for sea water fishing. where you sit on boat, let go your line. Thats why your line spool so deep ma...(that was not what he told me in the first place when i get this reel!)


so now, since this reel dun have spare spool, can we find one spool and mod it into it?something with the same diameter, but shallow-er spool.

got such thing?else this reel is gonna go to waste.


reel in discussion.

hey guys, need some recommendation.
recently went to paid ponds to fish, and hooked some unknown fish.
it managed to pull out all my line.

despite drag already tightened to max, its still able to pull out.
is there something wrong with my reel?
(friend said it might be a big mekong, i dunno. been using it for some rohu and haruan mostly.)

reel: soron STX40
line: some unknown brand braided 30lbs
rod: 8 feet

line and hook did not snap, just the drag unable to hold.

here in perak, nearby sri iskandar.
ah choong or ah chong something 1.
