I was told the same thing long time ago. Best haruan fishing would be the time when it rains heavily and the flood water brings the haruan in....

Wahh lau Sifu Q put me in the highlight~...

Morning Kastro,
Tell you what, when you come back do post here...we will update you on our weekly hunting be it haruan or toman..

On jigging, all you need is
1. Rod
2. Reel
3. Line
4. Jig

Practically all fishing needs the above stated gears, just that i would like to emphasize on how to choose the right one for your application. I will be giving details from point 4 to point 1.

Jig
Jigs is to mimic fleeing baitfish, just the same as lures. Each and every jigs is unique by having their own actions. However, which action would be the best to catch fish, will be up to the species that you are targetting. The action are like fluttering, swaying, leaves or even heavy head or butts.

How to determine the right jig for the specific depth??
There is easy way to calculate the right weight for the right depth. Imagine a 20M depth you should be using at least 60grams. Calculation goes in such that 20M = 60feet, thus 60grams. Of course, the current plays a role too. With dead tide, you can even go down to 30~40grams.

Line
I would prefer to use at least 300m of line. Reason is simple...would there be line busting, you still have spare lines to play round Try to get those colored line by meter. In such you would be able to gauge what is the depth of the strike zone. A good example of the brand is Varivas 10x10. Not cheap for 300m tho....

Reel
Get a durable reel, i'm not brand specific.. That can fit in 300m of line... Try to get those that is metal bail body. It would not cause warp too.

lastly the Rod
By knowing the weight of the jig(indirectly you know the depth too), you should be looking into the rod spec. Most of the jigging rod are specified by PE.

Example:
PE1~3 rod : 120gram
PE2~5 rod : 150~200gram
PE6~8 rod : 250gram~350gram
PE8~10 rod : 350~500gram

Example:
Your depth 50M = 150feet = 150grams jigs = PE2~5....have a little spare for heavier jigs as the current might be strong

As said by bro Q,
Yes i customize rods. I only charge labour fees and the material cost to be borned by customer. Alternatively, i can buy everything upfront and customer will be able to see the material cost. All in all, a customizes rod ranges from RM320~RM500 depending on the material used. DO let me know if you are keen

burma bank hentam using 300gram at least.. depending on which area they go lar......

but nice size fishies ler..

When wanna go spratly's?

Spratly can be done cheaper too...instead of going spratlys we go layang layang or lucornia for jigging lor..

i'll use broom lidi for rod...kekekekek JKJK

yeah sotong should be in somewhere in early April...anyone wanna go hentam sotong at Pangkor? at the same time can hentam baby GT kia
