Test Drives Philemon Foo
S o, you want to drive through the woods fast and get
to your friends at you secret shing hole somewhere in
the forest. Forget the pickup truck. A horse would have
done better. Take the rally ready Volkswagen Golf GTi
instead. Oh... ok. My bad. This is not a car magazine.
A bu Garc ia Verac i t y Pro
Par t 1
Series: Veracity Pro
Model: VERPC 602 MH A
Length: 6’
Lure Wt.: 1/4-1oz.
Line Wt.: 10-20lb
Confguration: 2 piecesWhat I am getting at is this; while it may be ne
and dandy to bring the old favourite tough looking,
thick, muscular, but oppy breglass rod to battle
the 10kg plus giant snakeheads (toman), a 30 ton
carbon graphite rod will do much better as it is stiff-
er with better rebound power. One of them is the
Abu Garcia Veracity Pro.

The Veracity Pro comes in red. Not just any normal
kind of red. It comes in blood red. It looks like a long
vial of blood, perhaps making in the perfect rod for
vampires. For those of you who faint at the sight of
blood, this rod may very well be your kryptonite.
Sinister In Red
Jokes aside, the Veracity Pro looks good. Not to
ashy. Not too much bling. Just nice in my opinion.
It comes with good quality EVA grips, black metal
(not a music genre) butt end cap, blood red painted
reel seat, with black and silver thread windings.

Completing the package are high quality compo-
nents from Fuji. They include Fuji’s tangle free guide
system of which allows for better casting distances
and provides less friction between line and guides
thus reducing line wear.
Quality Components
Another important component is the reel seat. The
Veracity Pro comes tted with Fuji reel seat that
holds the reel securely in place. If you have encoun-
tered reels going loose mid way through a ght with
a big sh you will understand the need for a high
quality reel seat.

Reel: Abu Garcia Revo STX
Line: Berkley Fireline
Poundage: 20lb
Leader: Berkley Trilene Big Game 40lb
Back at our lab we put the Veracity Pro through the
pressure test with 20lb being the target. Securing
the line to an anchor, we pulled the rod backwards
keeping the angle at about 45 degrees, tightening
the drag, reeling in line, and pulling again until we
thing got scary. The rod touched 20.7lb.
Lab Test
Thus far the Veracity Pro has proven to hit the marks.
It does come with good quality Fuji components, it
looks sinisterly nice, and it has decent power. How-
ever, we were unable to have it tested in the eld for
now. We’ll stay tuned for part 2 in the next issue.

Test Drives Philemon Foo
OR Craft Code Lures
Test Drives Philemon Foo
When it comes to catching sh, the lure you use and
how you use it is important. You may have good rods,
uper smooth reels, tough and almost invisible lines, and
your sh nder is beeping like a cheap broken car alarm;
but without a good lure, your chances of catching any sh
would be really low.
Replicating Good Lures
Good lures catch sh and it is no secret that they
get replicated. Makes sense right? Who on earth
would want to replicate a lure that does not catch
sh? Thus comes the OR Craft Code lures. The OR
Craft Code lures are a replica of the M Blue Code
lures (or could it be M Blues Code).

Nice Swimmer
With a few Code lures in our hands we decided to
take them swimming at a nearby pond. Using light
tackle we got the code ying out to very good dis-
tances. They cast easy and well. They swim really
well to with a tight wiggle.
Would Fish Eat Them?
We may like the way it swims but what about the
sh? Twitching them just outside some underwater
weeds did the trick. Pissed of peacock bass had a
eld day hitting the Code. Or was it the Code hav -
ing a eld day taking hits from the peacock bass...
Hmm, whatever. The code still won.

Summary
Yes, we all want lures that catch sh and good
branded lures cost a bomb. Well, if you don’t mind
using replicas then the OR Craft Code is a lure to
consider. It swims well. It has proven itself to be a
lure that shes can’t stand and want to hit. And it is
“pocket safe.”

The Classic Bluewater F120 lures are well built with good
cosmetics. The body is heavy walled and they are double
welded together for extra strength. They are tted with a
one piece through wire frame for better integrity.
Well Built
C l a s s i c B l u e w a t e r L u r e s
T he Classic Bluewater F120 lures were launched
last month here in Malaysia. These Australian lures
are made for saltwater shing being famed straight
swimming high speed trolling lures. Yippee! since it
is a proven saltwater lure we decided to take it out of
its environment.

Quality Components
The Classic Bluewater F120 lures are tted with 3X strong
Permasteel treble hooks by VMC. These hooks ensure
durability and the much needed strength especially since
it is a saltwater trolling lure of which is targeted to catch
hard ghting shes. They also come with Superex HD
Stainless steel split rings.
Field Test
Since it was monsoon we decided to test it with fresh-
water predators. These lures are made for trolling and
thus they do not score high points for casting. However,
they swim really well holding tight and straight. Yes, they
catch sh too.

Verdict
The Classic Bluewater F120 lures are good performers.
They swim fast and tight when trolled. They swim straight
too. Although they are made for saltwater trolling, fresh-
water predators take them too.

E ver handled a power tool such as drill? A normal
drill can only do so much. For more power a ham-
mer drill will make the DIY guy drool. The Revo Toro
S is more like a jack hammer. What’s the difference
you may ask. Well, drill make holes. Jack hammers
demolishes surfaces.
The Revo Toro S could very well get featured in Star
Wars. It looks like a reel the Storm Troopers would use. It
comes with pearly white side plates and black, well, ev-
erything else. It is larger than your average bait casting
reel and when it sits on your hands, it looks somewhat
like a big robotic frog (meant in a nice way).
Pearly White

It may look cute (hence the big robotic frog state-
ment). When you turn the handle it feels smooth.
But when you put it into battle mode, the jack ham-
mer sleeping inside comes to life and you feel like
you’re riding one heck of a bull. The drag is power-
ful. Abu Garcia claims 25lb.
Power House
Low prole reels do have limits. And when anglers
want low prole reels to do more, something has got
to change. Abu Garcia did so by increasing the size
of the reel and everything else inside. This gives us
a reel with line capacity and power of larger round
reels but in a smaller package.
Why Such A Reel?

What kind of a monster would you want to battle with?
Well, for freshwater application the giant snakehead
comes to mind. No I am not talking about those lit-
tle 10kg brutes. I am talking perhaps 18kg upwards
nuclear submarine types that could easily drag you
into the snags or bust your low prole baitcasting
reel.
Looking For A Fight?
It certainly would work well with saltwater brutes the
likes of sailsh, trevallies, etc. I wouldn’t call this
reel a gladiator slayer. No, not this. For that, it has
a brother. However, the Revo Toro S certainly can
and will subdue many a gladiator.
Salty Gladiators?

RodFord RFC Dry Bag Introducin’ Te Asian Angler
e: Products in this section may have not been tested by Te Asian Angler magazine
R odFord recently launched a new dry bag known
as the RodFord RFC. These bags look good and
they help keep your things dry. Made of tough ma-
terial the RodFord RFC dry bags are ideal for your
shing adventures.
Sealed Seams
Putting a bag of such together requires the combina-
tion of parts or sections. To do so, these parts are con-
nected together either through sewing, gluing, or hot
pressing. Whichever method chosen, it is essential
for the seams to be sealed in order to be waterproofed.
The RodFord RFC dry bags come with sealed seams.

ried about like a backpack. It has got two padded
carrying strap as well as back ventilated padding
that provides for better comfort. Should you decide
to grab it and go, there is a handle with rubber grip
that you can hold on to.
Compartments
The RodFord RFC dry bags come with two netted
side pockets that can be used to carry anything from
water bottles to torch lights, etc. It also has a front
pocket that for storage although it is not waterproof.

Reflects Light
When camping out at night in a jungle where the envi-
ronment is dark, the reectors at the front (below the
front pocket) of the bag comes into handy. With a little
light, these reectors will reect the said light helping
the bag to stand out and in sight.
Well, the RodFord RFC dry bag is easy to use and is
great for keeping your belongings dry. Furthermore it
looks great and is easy to carry.

The zippers are corrosion resistant zippers making
the Camo Tackle Bag a good tackle bag to be used
on sea shing trips where a bit of salty sea mist every
now and then will not cause the zipper to jam due to
corrosion.

Z Craft recently launched the new Z Craft MUSO
Jigs. These “buttery type” jigs are well designed and
built. Cosmetics wise, they are coloured pretty well
too with laser type colours, Active UV colours, and
glow in the dark luminous paint to attract sh from a
wide variety of depths.
MUSO jigs are designed by Z Craft eld testers to pro-
vide better control and action. It uses a tuning method
known as the “EDGE” technology that has shaped the
MUSO in such a way that gives it a sh like swim ac-
tion through the currents.

current. While doing so it also vibrates and weaves
occasionally.

W hen it comes to Pueger, I feel that if a reel
manufacturer were to make a reel lighter than theirs,
they get pissed off and get down to making another
lighter reel in the said reel class. Here comes the
new Pueger Supreme XT and it is the lightest reel in
its class.
The new Supreme XT is certainly a good looking reel.
It comes in a dark grey body and rotor that looks some-
what metallic. Maybe it is. My eyesight has wasn’t
what it was. It also has gun metal chromed rotor cov-
ers on its rotor, and areas of the body.
Good Looking

The spool comes ported and has nice looking me-
tallic orange lining that gives it a somewhat futuris-
tic look. The spool is also braid ready which means
that backing line need not be used with braided lines.
The spool comes with three rubber linings that allows
braided lines to be held in place.
Nice Orange Lining
The handle comes with a sporty carbon bre shaft
that looks good and saves on weight. The handle it-
self is EVA supported by metallic orange washer and
screw cover. While the design may not be new it still
looks good especially with the metallic orange lining
and gun metal colours.

The magnesium body of the new Supreme XT is rigid
especially at the reel foot area. No one likes a reel that
exes during the battle with a brute. Reel foot exing
not only makes ghting the sh uncomfortable. It also
reduces one’s condence; not what you want during
the ght of your life.

The rotor is made of magnesium too just like the body,
of which helps with the weight reduction. Unlike the
body, the rotor does have a little bit of ex. In terms
of smoothness, the rotor rotates smoothly and is well
balanced.
Well DEsigned Ro Tor
The new Supreme XT comes with sealed carbon bre
drag. Sealed drags protects the drag from dirt that are
in the water such as little particles from wood, vegeta-
tion, etc. It also gives protection from corrosive salt-
water. They come with a max drag of 8lb, 10lb, 12lb,
and 14 lb depending on model.

C rankbaits come either with a bill of which is also
called a lip, or they come without one. In this article
we will discuss about the bill or the lip of which plays a
very signicant role in the action if the lure..
Skill Enhancers Te Asian Angler
Lure Fishing BasicsB i l l O r L i p Part 3
M anip ul a tin g H ydr od yn ami c s
One of the reasons for lures to have a bill is to use
the resistance of water to manipulate the lure’s actions.
Imagine standing in a pool and with your palm open
and ngers close, push the water with your hands. At
certain angles the resistance become either lighter or
higher. This helps manipulate the lure’s actions.
93

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/the-asian-angler-january-2016-digital-issue-malaysia-english 48/80
B i g O r S ma l l
You’ll notice that lures come with bills of various sizes.
Some a big almost half the size of the lure and some
are smaller. The bigger the surface of the bill the higher
the resistance to water. Why the difference in sizes?
When the lure is being cranked, a downward force is
created. This force brings the lure down (called dive).
The bigger the bill the deeper the dive.
B i l l A n g l e s
Another thing you will notice is that certain lures come
with the bill set at a different angle. Some are set hori-
zontal to the lure. Some are set somewhat at a 45 de-
grees angle. and some are about 90 degrees. Changing
the angle affects the direction of which the downward
force comes from. This in turn helps with stabilizing the
lure, and gives the desired action.

S h a p e s
These bills come in various shapes. However, in gen-
eral there are two main shapes and they are the round
bill and the square bill.
R ounded
Bills
One of the more common bill shapes is the rounded bill.
They have a larger surface and a thus a higher down
force. They are mainly used with deep diving lures.
These lures scrap the bottom creating commotion and
thus gets a whacked by a pissed off predator. There are
also round bills for shallow swimming lures.
97
7/25/2019 The Asian Angler - January 2016 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/the-asian-angler-january-2016-digital-issue-malaysia-english 50/80
S q u a r e B i l l s
Another type of bill is the square bill. Square bills have a
smaller surface and they normally run shallow. Square
bills are good at deecting snags but this does not mean
that it is snag free. When they hit a snag they sort of
bounce off it or get deected off it.
O t h e r S h a p e s
Other bills are the cofn bill. While Square bills have
2 edges, cofn bills have 4 edges resembling cofns
used by vampires as shown in vampire movies. They
work pretty much the same as square bills. And there
is the triangular bill which allows the lure to be shed
slowly somewhat like smaller round bills.

T o N o t e
What bill size, length, or design you choose to use is
generally determined by how deep or shallow you want
to sh. The action will mainly be determined by the de-
sign of the lure. So the next time you shop for lures
or choose lures for a trip, do give these words a little
thought. Cheers...

W hen it comes to hooks the choices are a plenty
and can get quite confusing. Hooks come in various
forms or types for a host of different purposes. With
this issue let us take a look at some of the types of
hooks that are used with soft baits.

esUnlike what the name suggests, worm hooks are not
really made to hook real worms. You could but they are
designed to rig soft plastic worm baits. They can also
be used to rig soft plastic sh such as minnows that are
slim but still mainly used for worms.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/the-asian-angler-january-2016-digital-issue-malaysia-english 53/80
The shank of the worm hook is bent somewhat like the
hand crank of a car jack. They are bent that way to rig
soft plastic worms properly without deforming the them.
T h e B e n t
Sh an k
This is done by inserting the hook into the soft plastic
worm somewhat the length of the shank before the rst
bent of which is right after the eye of the hook. The hook
exits the bottom front of the worm and is reinserted into
the worm again at the body section the length of the
hook shank.

The soft plastic worms and worm hooks are used in
quite a few types of rigs such as Texas Rig, Tex-posed
Rig (with hook point exposed), and Carolina Rig.

The design of the general soft bait hooks or Carolina Rig
hooks are somewhat like the worm hooks with the bent
sank of which looks like the hand crank of a car jack.
The difference between the general soft bait hooks and
worm hooks is that the width of the gap. The gap of the
general soft bait hooks is wider.

C ar o l i n a
R i g H o o k s
The shank of the general soft bait hook is rounded after
the bent section at the eye of the hook. The shank then
curves into the bent and goes all the way to the point.
Due to the rounded or curved shank the gap between
the hook point and the shank is wider.

The general soft bait hooks are used for all sorts of soft
baits from worms to shes to frogs, etc. The way of us-
ing them is similar to that of the worm hook but they can
be used to rig up thicker soft baits. The soft baits are
usually rigged weedless.
U s ag e
Well, if you are new to soft bait shing, you now know
what hooks to get and how to use them. So go out there
and catch lots of sh.

Year End Fishing
H ello everyone!
ime really ies. In the blink of an eye, the end of 2015
omes and 2016 arrives. 2015 has been great for me. I
roke my personal Striped Snakehead record 3 times this
ear. Here is my second personal record snakehead that
ook the 2.4” Berkley Powerbait Saltwater Slinky Shad.
By Amirul Iran
It took me around 20 minutes to fool this sh with mul-
tiple lures. After switching to the Slinky Shad, it was nally
fooled and landed. This sh was hanging around the same
area for about 2 weeks. As the monsoon season iss begin-
ning, snakeheads will start to hang in grass for breeding.

This juvenile snakehead was caught on a rubber frog.
Just a few minutes earlier I lost a bigger one because I
did not pay attention to my frog. Paying attention to your
frog is important when shing with rubber frogs to en-
sure perfect hookset.
Here is my younger brother with a solid snakehead
on the Zman MinnowZ in space guppy. The akes
really work well for snakeheads especially when it is
sunny. From our experimenting we have found out
that lures with akes tend to get more bites as com-
pared to lures without akes.

Zman MinnowZ. Notice the emerald blue ventral ns. The
colours of the snakeheads are beautiful now as it is their
breeding season.

The Berkley Powerbait T-Tail Minnow rigged on an un-
der spin worked well to fool this little snakehead and a
few more that managed to shake the hook. The blade
adds ash and vibration, perfect to get snakeheads to
bite when conditions are tough.
Here is my latest personal record snakehead at 46cm and
780 grams. It gave a powerful ght but I managed to coun-
ter it with the Surecatch D-Legend rod and the new Abu
Garcia Promax 3.The Promax 3 handled long casts and it’s
high ratio helped to get the sh out of cover quickly.

Released to grow and I hope I will be able to catch
it again. 2015 has been an awesome year. I have
achieved most of my goals, except catching a Peacock
Bass. I am also happy to see more junior anglers on
social media. I know that there are many more junior
anglers out there. If you are a junior angler, keep up the
good work, never give up and always remember, safety
rst.
Bring Your Kids Fishing
Every child needs to spend time out-
doors. Fishing in a safe and educationalsport that both your child and you can
bond with..
Put away those tabs, iPhones, Androids,
and pick up a reel, rod, line, hook, and
sinker... Don’t forget some bait.
Happy Fishing.

Waterproof Socks solves the soggy toe problem and
keep your feet dry while shing, hiking, etc. in the rain.Our socks are fully waterproof thanks to 3-layers: a wear
esistant knit exterior (feels like a regular sock), a water-
proof breathable Artex membrane, and a Coolmax FX
moisture wicking anti-bacteria lining. The result is a sock
hat feels like a sock but protects like a rain bootie.

Weirdest BaitsI am not sure if you’ve caught sh with things that are
generally not a shing bait before. Quite a few anglers
have. I have caught sh with the skin of Mandarin or -
anges before but there are more bizarre things used by
anglers.
