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. 

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 

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?

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

thanks~ And its time to slay the unholy kraken

btw, do they stock squid rods in Malaysia ? I'm wondering if anyone seen any at any tackleshops in the country.

Cools, good to know...  at least now i know where to hunt around for gear,calamaretti tipo-L model looks  like a damn good deal tho... i kno tis sound like a tall order but do you guys bring in evergreen?

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 ?

any good 500 to 1000 size reel to recommend ? Budget capped at RM150

Yeah a little bit worried how the ci4 material would perform. Looking at sustain and twinpower too.

Sustain seems nice with the extra spool but the rotor is made of ci4 material 

Twinpower looks excellent except for the price 

Hey viox,thanks man... at least i can  now rely on a general rule of thumb for ultralight;light;medium and heavy setups. But anyweis,heres a little something about my arsenal, hope its good to go!

Fluoro:suffix 8lb

UL-light Baitcaster
