Bro Hanis,
Would like to know more about your beach fishing style or you have not fish before?

In beach fishing there are few types
1. surfcasting
2. rock casting
3. water breaker casting

Surfcasting is something very new in Malaysia which started to popular about 3 years ago. Angler uses a 14~21footer rod pairing with a huge size reel and cast a lead weight about 200grams.

Rock casting is much easier where you just need to lure the rock fishes to strike. Any ordinary fishing set can do that, no specific setup. Most of the catches are like grouper, baby pek cho, baracuda and baby GT types. The pelagic fishes would be smaller or juvenile size, however there are lucky anglers who managed to hook some biggies

Water breaker casting is very much similar to rock casting. Still using lures but the location of the fishing spot is different. As stated by the name, you cast towards water breaker and lure them to strike. Water breaker in Malaysia have some good fishes but dont expect biggies. In Australia, you can catch plenty types of fishes and i can say that they are huge too. Image a Rooster fish the size of 12kg from water breaker....

Do share with us more about your fishing stuffs and let's explore..

VMC is tough built but depending on the hook type.

Some of the treble hooks is being welded with titanium or certain compound to ensure that the hook will not torn off from the 1 piece double hook. Some of the treble hook are chemically treated to ensure the sharpness. Some of the treble hooks are extra strong with 3x, 4x, 5x and such.

The SureSet hooks will definitely easier to penetrate thru due to the thin construction but thin construction will also make the treble hook softer compared to normal. Anyway, it's my 2cent and usually i'll change it to carbon hooks if i want to maintain the thinness of the hook.

Matthew is also one of uncle Bob's shop supporter. Have not seen him for a long time since he fell in laguna and damages his mobile phone..kekekke

If not to use the MF30 or MF40 due to it's price, you can always opt for R2S ma or even soft plastic. Between the two, i would go for soft plastic if possible rather than R2S. Somehow R2S can trigger a strike from haruan but not able to set the hook. Maybe we need a right method of using the R2S.
