eh.. sifu Qiw.. i thought you got a new REEL?? that comes with 300 metre of 60lbs wor hahaha

woh...so many lam n pah at the morning lioa har!! kekekekkekek

Bro Q,
what i mean is

i did a FG knot from the main line to the leader...the leader is 4lam.

Just in case if i got snagged or leader being bitten off, i dont have to re-tie the FG knot. I just need to retie the swivel nia.

Added on December 14, 2007, 10:06 ami was thinking and considering to use lighter poundage line like 20~30lb so that my jigs can reach the bottom without much drag...

on the other hand...my 20~30lb lines is not enough and will result in total lost condition if the fish start to tarik..even a little tarik also habis line liao...kekekek

Unless i buy new lines, i guess i'll stick with my 40lb for the time being...kekeke

Bro Ho,
You dont want to contribute your lam and pah meh?

i oso will be jigging with the kaler kaler 40lb X4 ... should be enuff laa ... seriously .. besides bottom setup which is heavy coz of the BATU .. 40lb enuff to land almost any fish around liauu laa ...
UNLESS u damm kow LUCKY to kena monster laa .. sp many monsters around sommo meh ??? got oso kena whacked by TUNDA liauuu ... just like the whale shark at hutan there .. hehehe

hope you guys caught alot of Johnius carutta's mother.

personally felt that 40lb is enuff to tackle whatever water in Malaysia...those in Sabah and Sarawak is excluded...never been there so no comment.

some part in Jarak water is about 20m only..esp at the pinnacle area...most likely using 20lb for those areas...and 60~80grams..

I think this round at Jarak we will use max 200grams nia..

and also some of these

Bro Ice,
you mean at Linggi?

Since bro Nico kena before...perhaps we also got chance to kena the mother...you so MILF meh?? kekekek

sifu lu mia diy.. gua tarak tau how long exactly you need ler coz mono flexible ler.. tanduk besi hari-hari "keras" mia

btw point connection c from a/b is too short edi, sure chaw bihun mia when u taruk, bro no need susah susah ler heheh gua loan you jenakau............

The other day when i hunt for rod building materials for bro B, bump myself into a great blank. Bought the blank for the future build for myself.

It's a light jigging rod PE2 rating nia....

What do you guys think of this design?


Of course the butt handle is longer for my ketiak la...

Added on December 14, 2007, 11:17 amall comments appreciated...

Anyway, i have no intention to build the rod yet ler...

In the midst of building bro Rapala's rod...

Then gotta shape the EVA of Bro B and Bro S2002's rod handle....(while waiting for bro Rapala's rod to dry up)

Then guide binding for both bro B and Bro s2002's rod and epox them one after another

By then, should be quite close to our Jarak trip liao.....

Added on December 14, 2007, 11:20 amAnother info... the color combi of this build up is
1. black color EVA
2. black color thread and strips of gold for guide binding
3. the butt wrap will be black with multi chromed thread for cross wrap

Added on December 14, 2007, 11:24 amBro B and Bro S2002.

Added on December 14, 2007, 11:35 amwhy need the 2 step from reel seat to butt ??? just to look good kaa ?? hehehehe

Agree to you bro Q.
The top handle is similar to alot of made up rod in the market..i just take the design nia..

The butt handle being placed in 2 different diameter is for our palm to rest nia.. :)nothing more than that.. if the diameter is thick for palm, then it's not comfortable liao...

anyway, the palm part is individual thingy

yeah man.. the zirconia guides is damn good. hehehe.. makes your rod looks classy hehehe.. its an eye catcher for everyone that touches your rod hahaha..

that reel ahhh ???
the 60lb looks damm kow thin for a 60lb la .. dunno whether its really 60lb or not ..
this weekend hopefully can break virginity for this reel with kow kow monster la .. hahaahahahaaa

bro Q, another point is the uniqueness lor...

Added on December 14, 2007, 11:48 amBro Ice,
Yeah, it does look good...but most important is the guide can last till the rod breaks..~!

So claim that the Zirconia guide is better than SiC, if not on par with SiC....

Did some research in the internet, so far quite alot of rod builder + angler is satisfied with the guides ler..

for your design.. it looks good.. but the ketiak butt there looks abit plan wor the design.. or you design it like that for full support for ketiak?
