kena GB issit hantu or gang..........got one guy at mfn forum ask me to tag along to camp at semenyih dam. he fish for 10 hrs using katak as bait n got 2 1kg toman, not bad but kinda creepy at night ler. the good thing about semenyih is that there is no mosquito, been there so many times and no mosquito bites.
i think fishing can be cheap but depedns if u can tahan those poison or not. got lots of cheap reel ma but when u (me..haha) saw those nice reel, sure wan. i plan to get a saltwater reel but in the end, the sabre guy psycho me to get a baitcasting reel so now got to get baitcasting n spinning reel. expensive is expensive but u live once, money can be made. i've been through...to be honest with u guys, something happened few months back, i lost someone and i wont be seeing her ever again. i like fishing but i knew that it is expensive that is why i didnt dare to think but after that incident....i knew that life is short, should i die during fishing (i cant swim btw), i have to accept it as a fate. that is why i try to keep my life in place, work already affected...i don wan my life too.
woi!! u guys, buat bodoh meh......i'm asking about the bottom fishing set leh, anything to recommend or anything to suggest me to look for? thanks thanks!!!
bottom fishing gonna break your bank
suggestion,
get a 8 or 15Kg rod, this one can cover strait of malacca without much hiccup. try find daiwa stp 8kg or shimano 15kg backbone. cheap and cheerful

reel, get a diuwa or shimano reel. any way i'll recommend a shimano torium 30 (6.2:1) load it with 65lbs or 80lbs berkley whiplash braided line. if budget allow got get a torsa

so the damage would be...
reel rm600~700 ++ (shimano torium 30)
Drag mod RM50 . Carbontex drag set. Highly recommended if you whack bottom alot. Ori dartanium drag wont last 1 year if you frequent go bottom bashing.
rod rm250-400.++ (daiwa stp 8kg or 10kg, shimano backbone 15kg) more budget ? then can try get shimano triton boat which is approx RM1K
accessories such as line spreader, hooks, wire line and etc junk= RM100
sinker, dumbell,chuntoi : rm 100-150 (size 10,12,14,16,18,20,24,32) one set. But most likely you'll need 2 set in case u go ship wreck often.
line RM250++ 500meter Berkely 80lbs
cheers
