My Fellow Anglers & Friends,

February has been exciting and a very busy month with the Chinese New Year celebrations and Valentines. Suddenly Kuala Lumpur felt emptyafter the “balik kampong” exodus. I took the opportunity to drive around the city and soak up the changes.

Whilst driving around aimlessly in KL city I chance upon an old super-car of which instantly reminded me of a reel that I have seen last year. With that in mind I decided to share with you some of the reels that caught my attention in 2012 and early 2013 in this issue under a new section called Hot & Spicy.

The Asian Angler’s growth has been phenomenal and I take this op-portunity, on behalf of The Asian Angler, to thank you for your sup-port. It has been a pleasure meeting up with readers for tea and chat. Makes the hard work fun.

Also thank you for your emails of encouragement and feedback. Have fun and enjoy this issue.

Thank you and have a superb month ahead.

Cheers,PhilEditor In ChiefEmail: [email protected]

Test Drives

Penn Spinfisher V Live LinerBy Philemon Foo

Last issue we test drove the heavy duty Penn Spinfisher V. This time we put the Penn Spin-fisher V Live Liner to task.

For those who do not know what a “Live Liner” reel is, it is actually a spinning reel more appropriate-ly used for fishing with live baits. The more popular term used is actually “Bait Runner.”

Page 6: The Asian Angler - March 2013 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

10 11

A Bait Runner or in this case a Live Liner reel is a spinning reel than comes with a secondary drag other than the main drag. The secondary drag is lighter than the main drag and is used to allow the brute that took the bait to swim freely, giving it time to swallow the bait without feel-ing that something is amiss. Some anglers also call them dual drag system reels.

Page 7: The Asian Angler - March 2013 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

12 13

Turning off the secondary drag by turning the reel handle or by sim-ply switching off the switch of the “Live Liner” automatically engages the main drag of which signals the beginning of the battle between the brute and angler.

Power Packed The Penn Spinfisher V Live Liner, like its siblings the Spinfisher V is a powerhouse of a reel. It packs good amounts of muscles and cranking power to subdue the brutes.

Page 8: The Asian Angler - March 2013 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

14 15

It also comes with the famed Penn Slammer Sealed Drag System (main drag), a powerful drag system that is sealed and protected from the ele-ments. This gives the Spinfisher V Live Liner a more consistent drag during the battle.

Live Liner SmoothnessThe one difference between the Spin-fisher V and the Spinfisher V Live Liner is the Live Liner Drag itself. Like all drag system, smoothness is very important. It is one of the com-ponents that could make or break the fight.

Page 9: The Asian Angler - March 2013 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

16 17

I had the opportunity to test out the Live Liner drag at my favourite test-ing ground in Rawang. I used a live tilapia as bait with the Live Liner drag turned on. After a short wait the line from my spool started shooting out.

The smooth Live Liner drag was do-ing its work well. I picked up my rod, gave it about two and a half seconds before turning of the reel handle and thus engaging the main drag. I was onto a fight with an exotic brute.

Getting drenched (it was pouring cats and dogs) and I meant really drenched I had to subdue the brute as fast as I can. I turned the drag up a notch and felt instantly the in-creased resistance that the drag is putting on the fish. It wasn’t a long fight and brute surrendered knowing that it couldn’t have out fought the power of the Spinfisher V Live Liner, and my tired arms.

Page 10: The Asian Angler - March 2013 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

18 19

Sturdy ConstructionThe Penn Spinfisher V Live Liner is one very sturdy reel that gave me the extra confidence (know-ing I had 30lb braid on helped as well) to put muscle against muscle. The reel didn’t even flex throughout the fight or at least I didn’t feel a hint of flex even if it did.

Page 11: The Asian Angler - March 2013 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

20 21

Consistent DragThe Penn Slammer Sealed Drag System felt smooth and consistent even under the rain. We fished for three hours of which two of them were crazy wet and throughout the wet rainy conditions, the drag held its worth.

More AbuseYou may have come across reels that are sadist in nature. With that I mean, they keep asking for more. They just want to be tortured and they smile while they are being tortured. There are not many reels like that around but this is definitely one of them.

I intend to put it through harder fishing and perhaps from there we can see how far it will really go.

My ThoughtsThis is a reel that could very well go on even when the angler has had enough sur-rendering with aching arms and a bruised abdomen. If you are going for some big game fishing, this will definitely be a great reel to have.

The fishing rod, a device invented to make fishing more fun. Technol-ogy has played a part in turning the simple fishing rod into a technically advanced device engineered with different materials of which impacts the rods and fishing directly.

Here is the Quantum Hayai Pitch rod that I paired with the Quantum EXO PT Spinning reel (February 2013 Test Drive) and used it against the red-tailed monsters of the Ex-otic Pond in Rawang, Selangor. The Quantum Hayai Pitch was a pleas-ant surprise.

Test Drives

Quantum Hayai Pitch RodBy Philemon Foo

28 29

Hey good Lookin’One look at the Quantum Hayai Pitch and you instantly get a whiff of an island nation in East Asia some-where in the Pacific Ocean. Yes, with that I meant Japan. Japanese designers have this ability to conjure good looking rods that may seem extreme to some, but a work of art to others.

Page 16: The Asian Angler - March 2013 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

30 31

The Quantum Hayai Pitch comes with a rear cork handle that is split in be-tween with a piece of metal tube with holes that highlights the Quantum brand. The end of the handle, the sec-tion just before the rubber stopper, is adorned with carbon fibre and metal washers.

Page 17: The Asian Angler - March 2013 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

32 33

The fore handle is EVA with a metal washer giving it a kind of a “mixed up look” and it works. The contoured fore EVA handle is made with high quality EVA which gives the Quantum Hayai Pitch its quality feel.

Page 18: The Asian Angler - March 2013 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

34 35

Fuji ComponentsThe rod comes with Fuji components and one of them is the reel seat of which also has holes in it of which reduces some weight and at the same time makes the rod look good.

Guides are also Fuji with gun-smoke colored frames that goes well with the matt colored rod blank.

Power In The BlankThe blank of the rod is very important. You can have all the best components but if the blank is not good, everything else fails. The Quantum Hayai Pitch comes with a good high modulus car-bon blank of which is strong and also very sensitive. Playing soft-plastics I could easily feel the jig-head search-ing the bottom of the pond.

Page 19: The Asian Angler - March 2013 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

36 37

The rod tip is also well engineered. It helps cast out lures and baits, even lighter lures with relative ease. When it comes to playing the fish, the tip springs back into action again. I do literarily mean springing back as the tip helps to play the fish as well.

Balancing Of WeightHaving more metal components at the butt section increases the weight of the rod and one would ask why Quan-tum did so. Surely the weight factor, less being more (if you know what I mean), is more important than cosmet-ic factors. Well, the way I see it, a bal-ance rod is more important than one that is light but unbalanced.

Page 20: The Asian Angler - March 2013 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

38 39

Putting on the reel and dropping the rod to a horizontal position answers this question. Holding the rod in an upright position with or without the reel makes the rod feel heavy. Dropping it to the horizontal position makes it feel tip heavy (even with metal washers). Adding the Quantum EXO reel to the rod balances the rod nicely.

Est. since 1976Having waited years to catch your trophy fish, you would leave noth-ing to chance. That is why you need a Thomas Stroker rod that is made

specifically for you, using only high quality components.

Thomas Stroker is not just a brand, but my name on every Thomas Stroker rod. When I put my name on a rod, like you, I too will leave

nothing to chance.

The Abu Garcia Tournament rod se-ries have been a strong hold of the Abu Garcia brand here in Asia. It is one of those rods that anglers just cannot have enough of. I have used quite a few of them before and re-cently had the opportunity to use the latest one.

Mafia And Not YakuzaThe new Abu Garcia Tournament rod looks good and modest. Not too flashy and shouty but with a more subtle mature kind of look. If it were to be a gangster, it would be the sleek Italian Mafia in black suit, dark glasses, and maybe a shiny earring, and not the funky tattooed Japanese Yakuza.

Test Drives

Abu Garcia Tournament RodBy Philemon Foo

Page 24: The Asian Angler - March 2013 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

46 47

It comes with high quality fore and rear EVA grips of which feels good in the hands of the angler. No flashy metal washers or carbon fibre components of which is a good thing; as not having those things help bring the cost of the rod down making it more affordable to more anglers.

Deceiving In A good WayWhen I first picked up the Abu Garcia Tournament spinning rod I was wonder-ing to myself if there had made a mis-take. I wanted a rod that could cast well and handle brutes, a gangster but more of the runner not the bouncer. I was handed what looked like a boat rod but with a short, casting handle, the bouncer.

Page 25: The Asian Angler - March 2013 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

48 49

I looked at it a while and decided to give it a try. The reason I wasn’t sure is because I was about to fish in a place where I had to cast little 3 inch live baits and battle brutes like groupers and man-grove jacks that are relatively big in size.

A boat rod will not be able to cast light baits well and a lighter rod may not be able to handle the brutes (obstacles in the form of other anglers). Anyway, I did use the rod and was pleasantly sur-prised.

Casting AbilitiesWe fished at a saltwater paypond in Klang, a pond that I have not fished at in years. We were using mullets as live baits. I paired the Abu Garcia Tournament rod to the Penn Spinfisher V Live Liner reel of which had 30lb monofilament lines in it.

Page 26: The Asian Angler - March 2013 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

50 51

Imagine this rig; 30lb monofilament lines, 3 inch mullet, and a small swivel linking the mainline to the leader. No sinkers or split shots to aid with cast-ing. I was rather worried.

All my worries came to an end the mo-ment I made the cast and saw the little mullet gliding towards the middle of the pond, where the fish cages are located. A deceiving rod indeed.

Muscles & More MusclesThe rod had power like that of a body-builder’s arm. The 24 ton graphite blank is indeed powerful and I always love a tip that would help me to play and con-trol the fish. I was on to a brute and the power of this Tournament rod was what I needed. I managed to pull the brute away from the water wheel with much ease and confidence.

Page 27: The Asian Angler - March 2013 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

52 53

In all honesty, I lost the fish to some unseen underwater structures. That was due to me being over confident and thus allowing the fish to make a last dash towards some un-derwater structures.

ProsPowerful blank, superb grip, great value for money, afford-ably priced.

Page 28: The Asian Angler - March 2013 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

ConclusionI would say that the Abu Garcia Tournament rod is a value for money, no frills rod. If you are looking for a rod that is good and will not burn a hole in your pocket, the Abu Garcia Tournament is one rod that I recommend you consider.

2012-2013 That Caught Our Attention

Hot & Spicy

By Philemon Foo

Fishing Reels Are Getting Hotter

With anglers wanting better looking reels, lighter reels, and if possible made by Martian engineers kind of reels, the humble fishing reel is not hum-ble anymore.

There is beauty in maturity and the Revo MGX flaunts this by taking mature designs and giv-ing it elegance, like what Volk-swagen did to their legendary and iconic Beetle. The Revo MGX fits into the role of the secret agent like James Bond double O seven; unassuming, mature, and elegant.

The Revo MGX didn’t just get lighter; it also got a bigger gear box and bigger gears giving it extra cranking power. The fourth generation IVCB brakes also made it one of the easiest reels to cast.

The Helios low profile baitcast-ing reel is a sleek looking mean machine with green highlights on its spool and star-drag, matt black body (side plates), and a carbon fibre handle stem with EVA han-dles. Worth a second look? Make

New Okuma Trio baitfeeder Spinning

Reel

This here is a reel that was probably designed by the same designer that designed the Lambo-rghini Reventon and or the Lamborghini Aventa-dor. It is difficult to actually find a sporty looking spinning reel but the New Trio is close.

The design of the new Trio seems to have got-ten some of its cues from the esteemed Apache assault helicopter (The Lamborghini Reventon got its cue from the Stealth fighter F-117). It is adorned with carbon fibre body and spool, and what is known as Crossover Construction Tech-nology (Okuma’s proprietary) of which utilizes lightweight graphite that is bolstered with solid aluminium in critical areas.

Quick Toxic RD

While Okuma has the Green Hornet, D.A.M brought out the Green Lantern. The Quick Toxic RD is one D.A.M reel (forgive pun) that could drive D.A.M into the future with fresher and better designs. This reel caught my attention although I must clarify that it is not the best looking of the lot, but because D.A.M has not been up there battling at the design “smack down.”

I do like its design with the use of carbon fibre making the Quick Toxic RD a sportier. In the world of cars, the Quick Toxic RD would have been a Volkswagen Golf with standard bodykit. Not as sexy as the thoroughbreds but will give one heck of a run.

Germans being Germans, technology and engineering are their strong points both of which can be found in the Quick Toxic RD.

76 77

Here is a reel whose designers came from the future in a DeLorean DMC-1. While the DeLorean is quite rubbish, the Quantum EXO reels are definitely not. One of the lightest reels, especially the baitcasting one, you can get your hands on for hours of tireless casting.

Having so many holes is a good thing. It means lesser weight and crazier de-signs. They perform well too. I love them both.

Quantum Accurist PT

The Accurist PT by Quantum is Quantum’s 2013 contender that caught my attention. Looking like a cross between a Star Wars Storm Trooper and an Adidas shoe of which is a good thing. Sports shoe designs are really radical and eye catching. I am not sure if the designers really did use cues from shoes but I do know that the Accurist looks pretty darn good.

This reel will be a good contender to all the other dual brake sys-tem reels available today and I cannot wait to put my hands on one. Hope it comes soon.

Abu Garcia Revo MGXAbu Garcia gave new meaning to the words light weight when they launched the Abu Garcia Revo MGX that weighs about 5.4ounces. While the design of the Revo MGX is in no way radi-cal and far from extremes, it is a superb looking reel.

Page 44: The Asian Angler - March 2013 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

86 87

There is beauty in maturity and the Revo MGX flaunts this by taking mature designs and giving it elegance, like what Volkswa-gen did to their legendary and iconic Beetle. The Revo MGX fits into the role of the secret agent like James Bond double O seven; unassuming, mature, and elegant.

The Revo MGX didn’t just get lighter; it also got a bigger gear box and bigger gears giving it extra cranking power. The fourth genera-tion IVCB brakes also made it one of the easiest reels to cast.

Abu Garcia Revo LTXWith Abu Garcia in America launching the Revo MGX, Abu Gar-cia in Japan took the Revo MGX to the extremes by making it even lighter. They then called it the Revo LTX.

Design wise it remained close to its elder sibling but with the exceptions of a shallower spool, lighter weight, and magnetic brakes instead of the IVCB-4.

The Revo LTX is made to cast light lures and is one of the favou-rite reels of finesse anglers.

Abu Garcia reels have recently been undergoing some radical design changes and that is good. Abu Garcia needs this and thank God they have. One of my favourite spinning reels from ABU is the Revo Premier. It looks elegant and sporty at the same time. It reminded me of a chromed Ford Mustang that I saw in the USA.

Being one of the first reels to use Nano Technology, the Revo Premier was one of the lightweights but with a rigid body of which is strong somewhat like the full metal body reels.

Penn International V, VS, and VSXPenns are all about subduing monsters and not really driven by design. Look at a Penn reel and you know that these reels mean business. None more so that the Penn International series. They are syn-onymous with big and I mean really big game fishing.

Proudly built in Philadelphia, the Inter-national V, Vs, and VSX are precision machines; blessed with super powers that none in the Justice League has ever seen before.

Being considered as the Gold Standard in high quality big game reels, the Penn International reels will be my weapon of choice when I hunt for really big game monsters and not just monster monsters, if you know what I mean. Anything bigger and I will be opting for a crane.

Penn TorqueThe monster of all spinning reels. Americans tend to love mon-sters and when they set out to create the ultimate monster reel, they came out with the Torque. Pickup the Torque and hold it in your hands and you know that in your hands lay some extraordi-nary power.

Anglers who have tested the Torque claim that this reel turns most monster fishes into sissy softies. One comment I remember well is this: “have you ever seen a GT (Giant Trevally) on a jets-ki?” That is the power of the Penn Torque and that is why I like it.

Pflueger PatriarchOne of the spinning reels that have cap-tivated me for a long time is the Pflueger Patriarch. It could very well be the culprit that started the “weight lost competition” amongst reel brands.

When I first laid eyes on the Patriarch it was floating on air tied to a balloon. My mouth automatically uttered, “What the heck” and then it came my turn to have a closer look and feel. It was love at first sight. It was the sexiest spinning reel at that time with car-bon fibre being used here and there. I was amazed.

I have since had the opportunity to use it and have landed tomans (giant snakeheads, sebaraus (Hampala macrolepidota), and the Amazon red tail catfish on it without much fuss. Of course monster fishes are not in its sight. It does have its limits but for most of my fish-ing, it performed superbly well. I miss the Patriarch.

Shimano Aldebaran BFS XG

One of the best low profile baitcasting reels that I have ever test-ed is the Shimano Aldebaran BFS XG. It is a good looking reel but I will not rank it amongst the best lookers. Only when it comes to performance, the Aldebaran BFS shows off its talents. It turns into this graceful dancer, with close to zero mistakes, and smooth silky flows.

I have likened the Aldebaran BFS XG to the Audi A8 and the Beemer 7 Series (in the January 2013 issue); expensive, quiet performer and smooth. It is after all a reel for finesse fishing and casting small lures of which it does extremely well.

New Daiwa ExistThe new Daiwa Exist is one reel that gives me a mixed reac-tion. It is one of those reels with a design that could keep my up for days just looking at it but color wise, at least to me, it is not all there. It is like a Ferrari in matt dull grey color of which is nice de-sign wise but to look at for long periods of time would be another matter.

However, what’s lava hot is the technology inside. Imagine open-ing the bonnet of the dull matt grey Ferrari to see this glowing nuclear powered cylinder surrounded by a carbon fibre tubes leading to an engine that came from the USS Enterprise in Star Trek.

How lightweight can a reel go? Here; three cheers to “ZAION,” a distortion proof material that is ultra-lightweight. There is also the distortion proof AIR rotor that has been on a diet and managed to lose some 15% of weight. Even the AIR spool is lighter. Daiwa claims that ZAION is lighter than magnesium. I honestly do not know but who cares. The word ZAION is cool enough to make this reel lava hot.

New Daiwa Saltiga 7000H Dog Fight

Anyone watched The Fast And The Furious movies? The new Daiwa Saltiga Dog Fight would be the Dodge Charger driven by Dominic Toretto (Dom). I like that car a lot. It has lots of muscles, like 900bhp, and it looks good. Not too showy, not too flashy. A good balance of design cues that hints its characteristics and ca-pabilities.

Here is a real deal saltwater giant fighter. Ask any Dog Fight us-ers and they will tell you how tough these reels are. This new 7000 size model boast larger line capacity, a much needed fea-ture when you are battling giants. Great to have if you are going for that big a game.

Daiwa T3 SVSupercars have always fascinated me. How not to when design-ers put sexy curves on them and gave them names that pay trib-ute to bulls, matadors, places, and whack price tags on them that cost the soul of some people.

The Daiwa T3 SV instantly reminded me of another SV that came after the word Diablo of which means Devil (in Spanish). With that I meant the Lamborghini Diablo SV.

The T3 SV at an angle has very similar design cues to this fast road munching car. With matt black body and orangey gold color, the T3 SV surely had el Diablo in its sight.

Being compact, light weight, and well designed, the SV is indeed an eye catcher. The SV stands for Stress Free Versatile of which I too don’t really know what it means but damn, it looks good.

Daiwa T3 AIR

This here is a reel that could have been designed by Martians. I am not sure if Martians fish but this would be one of their fa-vourites. It seriously looks like it came from another planet. The Daiwa T3 is a good example of extreme designing. While I may like it, this design is not for everyone. When it come to extreme designing, you either love it or you dislike it.

Whatever it is, the T3 Air is Daiwa’s answer to an incredible look-ing finesse bait casting reel. It is super tuned to outperform F1 cars with a sizzling hot high speed gear ratio of 8.6:1 and would shoot out light weight lures easily. It is also low on weight with G1 Duralumin material used and fats trimmed even at the handle knobs.

Knowledge WiseFishing Lines: MonofilamentBy Philemon Foo

Monofilament the most widely used fishing line in today’s fishing.

There are many things that have an effect on your fishing. One of them is the fishing line that you are using. It is not just about break strength and how thick or thin lines are, there is so much more to lines that affect your fishing.

Important? How Important...Well, for starters, what is the main link between you and the fish? Oh yes, that would be your fishing line. If it breaks you lose the fish. If it holds, you land the fish. That is how impor-tant your fishing lines are. It is the main link between the fish and you.

Not only does your fishing line de-termine whether or not you land the fish, it also plays a role in the effec-tiveness of your fishing. To be better at our sport, it is very important to un-derstand the different characteristics of fishing lines and how they affect our fishing.

Page 69: The Asian Angler - March 2013 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

136 137

Types Of LinesThere are various types of fishing lines in the market such as monofilament lines, braided lines, fused lines, PE lines, fluorocarbon lines, uni-filament lines, etc. All these lines have their own characteristics.

Monofilament LineLet us begin with the monofilament line, one of the most widely used lines in the world. Monofilament lines are made of a single strand of plastic and in different colors. They are used by anglers for all types of fishing from saltwater to freshwater fishing.

What makes monofilament lines so attractive? Well, they are the cheapest lines to produce and thus they also come with a lower price tag. Almost every angler use monofilament lines either as both main lines and leader lines, or lead-er lines; braided line users also use monofilament lines are leaders.

Page 70: The Asian Angler - March 2013 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

138 139

All types of fishing lines have their own characteristics although these days, the lines are blurred. The type of fishing that you do should be one of the factors that determines which type of line to use.

Page 71: The Asian Angler - March 2013 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

140 141

Characteristics Of: Monofilament LinesStretch / Shock AbsorptionMonofilament lines are known to have this shock absorption quality also known as stretch. Stretch is an advantage as it absorbs the shock of the sudden pull of the fish thus saving your line as well as

Stretch is also a disadvantage as it makes the line less sensitive. Another problem with stretch is that if you have a lot of line out, setting the hook could be a problem especially if the fish has a tough jaw that is difficult for the hook to penetrate. Stretch weakens the force of the strike.

These days there are monofilament lines that have very little stretch and thus making them the favourite lines of many anglers. One such line is the Berk-ley XL Armor.

Page 72: The Asian Angler - March 2013 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

142 143

Silent LineAll fishing lines make some kind of a sound underwater from a low hum to a sharp sound. These sounds are seldom heard by us anglers but un-derwater they create waves of which the fishes pickup. These sounds can be heard by anglers as well espe-cially when you have your line out on a windy day. It could be a humming or a whistling sound depending on the type of line as well as diameter of line that you are using.

Monofilament lines are one of the qui-eter lines in the market (not including fluorocarbon). This is one reason why some anglers say that monofilament lines catch more fish as compared to super-lines. They are not wrong nor are they absolutely right. Perhaps su-per-lines may not be the best or rather most appropriate line for their type fishing.

Page 73: The Asian Angler - March 2013 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

144 145

Lower VisibilityAs compared to super-lines, mono-filament lines are less visible un-der water especially those with low glare also known as lower refractive index. The lowest being the fluoro-carbon lines, of which has a similar refractive index to that of water.

This means that monofilament lines would be less spooky to timid fishes.

Better Abrasion ResistanceWhen it comes to abrasion resis-tance, monofilament lines win hands down. They are better at handling resistance and that is why one of the mainstay materials for leader lines.

Absorbs WaterMonofilament lines absorb water and thus they become heavier the longer you fish. Having heavier lines mean reduced casting dis-tances. The absorption of water also changes the quality of the line and that would affect knot strength, line strength, and sensitivity.

Page 74: The Asian Angler - March 2013 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

146 147

High MemoryHaving high memory is great if it is a hard disk but for line, not so. Memory has been a problem with monofilament lines for the longest time. However, newer monofila-ment lines seem to be addressing this problem.

High memory means that the line retains it shape. An example would be how these lines curl when they have been sitting in a spool for some time. Spinning reel users that frequently use monofila-ment lines almost always encoun-ter this issue.

Having curly lines comes with some problem as well such as re-duced casting distance, entangle-ment of line to parts of the reel or rod, further reduced sensitivity especially on low weighted sinkers (due to additional line slack), and they look awful.

Page 75: The Asian Angler - March 2013 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

148 149

Bigger DiameterMonofilament lines are thicker (bigger diameter) than super lines. This means that they have higher resistance to air, water currents, etc. They will also take up more space in your spool and knots will be larger in size.

Ideal UsageNo doubt that monofilament lines can be used for all types of fishing. Many of us have been doing so for years. However, they are best suited or rather most appropriately suited for certain types of fishing and not all types. They are best suited for bottom fishing since they are amongst the quieter lines and they are less visible.

Angler ’s HeavensPayung Guesthouse, CheratingBy Philemon Foo

Page 77: The Asian Angler - March 2013 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

152 153

Payung Guesthouse Reception

Have you heard this song before, “I Want It All” by Queen? We tend to want it all as the song’s title suggests but most of the time we just cannot.

Here is a place where you can almost have it all. A little village like guesthouse in a place called Cherating, located in the Kuan-tan (State of Pahang). This place is called Payung Guesthouse.

Page 78: The Asian Angler - March 2013 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

154 155

Almost Having It AllHere is a place where you can bring your family for a vacation, enjoy good food, enjoy the beach, and indulge in some fishing. Best of all, you can do all these without burning a hole in your pocket.

As far as fishing is concerned, you can cast your bait or lure into the sea or you could cast them into the river. How nice is that.

Journey To CheratingIt only takes about two and a half hours to get there from Kuala Lum-pur and the drive is not too stressful.

This journey will take you through the Titiwangsa Mountain Range via one of Malaysia’s most haunted highways; Karak Highway, of which would probably be the most stress-ful part of your drive, and the rest is a long straight highway to the east coast, exiting just after Kuantan, closer to Cherating.

Page 79: The Asian Angler - March 2013 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

156 157

The Payung VillageI call this place the Payung Vil-lage because it is actually built in a way that resembles a Malay-sian village. Each chalet is built to look and feel like a local kampong house.

From the outside, the area looks like a natural paradise kind of a resort (not really nature resort). Walking through the front steps and you will find yourself in a little kampong (village). The difference would probably be that your neigh-bours are tourist from other parts of the world.

Checking in was fast and within minutes we were in our own little kampong house (chalet). Our cha-let is fully air-conditioned, has a television, built in bathroom and toilet, and a kitchen plus dining area.

Page 80: The Asian Angler - March 2013 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

158 159

To those with sensitive noses, the first thing to do when you get into your chalet is to slowly remove the mosquito netting that is above the bed and place it somewhere that you will have no contact with for the duration of your stay. The dust from the mosquito netting landed me in hospital with a lung infection.

Page 81: The Asian Angler - March 2013 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

160 161

Don’t get me wrong, the chalet is actually quite clean. Anyway, it is a low budget, basic type of accom-modation, so don’t expect stan-dards to be like those of the Hilton or Ritz Carlton.

Activities For The FamilyThere is nothing much to do within the guesthouse compound thus you will most likely be spend-ing more time at the beach build-ing sandcastles, indulging in sea sports activities, doing some beach fishing, going on a mangrove tour or perhaps driving to nearby towns such as Kemaman or Kuantan dur-ing the day.

Page 82: The Asian Angler - March 2013 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

162 163

Kitchen and dining area.

Page 83: The Asian Angler - March 2013 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

164 165

Another place of visit that is great for families would be the Turtle Sanctuary that is situated right out-side Club Med Cherating, of which is some 10 minutes drive away from the Payung Guesthouse.

Entrance is free but I do suggest that you place a couple of Ringgits into the collection box in support of their efforts.

At night you can go on a firefly watching excursion on the river by boat, party at the beach bars, or just sit outside your chalet and chill for a bit. We were there on Christ-mas and there was this party going one with fireworks at a nearby re-sort.

Page 84: The Asian Angler - March 2013 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

166 167

Wetting Your LinesWell, for us anglers you could ei-ther fish off the beach if you de-cide to do some surfcasting, or fish in the river. Cherating beach is about five minutes walk from the guesthouse. You could drive to the beach areas nearby the Turtle Sanctuary to do some fishing.

There is a river right behind the guest house where you could do some fishing. There is a small nar-row wooden jetty at the back of the guesthouse and you could fish from there. The other option is to speak to the resort operator on rental of boat to do some fishing.

Page 85: The Asian Angler - March 2013 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

168 169

Rating Payung Guest-houseIn my opinion, the Payung Guesthouse is a low budget, no frills place of accommodation. It is not the best guesthouse I have stayed it not is it the worse. If I should rate it from 1 to 10, I would give the Payung Guesthouse a 6.5.

Why a 6.5? It meets all my ba-sic needs. It is air-conditioned and that is something that I need. It is cosy and the environ-ment is nice with chickens run-ning, birds and butterflies flying about. It also meets my need to fish. My only complains would be the dusty mosquito netting, leaky toilet sink, and flat pillows.

Page 86: The Asian Angler - March 2013 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

170 171

Things To BringMosquito repellent is a must. The compound around the guesthouse and the jetty at the river is also home to mosquitoes.

Water spray to spray a light layer of mist onto the mosquito netting before removing it. This ensures that only a very small amounts of dust escapes.

Your own pillow if you are unable to sleep on flattened pillows.

Beach wears and beach toys for your kids.

Suntan lotion as the sun can get really hot.

Light fishing gear for river fishing. My recommendation would be a bottom fishing set if you are fishing from the jetty. A casting set would only make sense if you are fishing from a boat.

Beach casting or surfcasting equip-ment if you intend to fish from the beach.

Storm brewing up in Cherating

At the entrance of the guest house, cross the road, and walk right. Walk till you reach the gerai-gerai makan (small food stalls) just before the parking lot. The corner shop just before the parking lot serves good ikan bakar tiga rasa (three taste barbeque fish). Chilli lovers would love it.

On your next holiday you could give the Payung Guesthouse a try. Oh yes, do make bookings in advance as the place is almost always full (limited chalets).

Food WiseFor seafood lovers, Cherating is indeed a paradise. There are a few seafood res-taurants within the Cherating area. But if you are on a budget and would prefer a simple meal there is a place that is a few minutes walk from the guesthouse.

Common area where guest can have a cup of tea or coffee for free.

Page 88: The Asian Angler - March 2013 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

174 175

As we journey through life as an-glers, picking up new skills is very important. Have you ever been in a situation where you see the fish, want to cast to it, but do not do so because something or someone is in your way?

Learning different casting tech-niques will help you in situations as such. Not only does it help you cast, it also helps you catch more fish. The more skills you have the better your chances of catching fish.

Last issue we did the side cast, a cast that is done from the side of your casting hand or dominant fish-ing hand. Now let us look at the backhand cast of which is the total opposite of the side cast.

Advanced Baitcasting Part III By Philemon Foo

I am assuming that you are already an above average user of the baitcasting reel and thus will not go into the basic details here. For basic details please refer to earlier issues of The Asian An-gler.

Backhand CastIf the side cast simple means casting from the side of which your hand holds the rod, backhand cast being the op-posite, means doing the cast from the opposite site of the hand that holds the rod. It is like taking a backhand shot in badminton or making a backhand serve in badminton.

Say for example you are right handed and you hold your fishing rod in your right hand. Doing a backhand cast sim-ple means that you do a cast from your left.

Page 90: The Asian Angler - March 2013 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

178 179

The Mechanics Of The Backhand CastIn this article I will assume that you are right handed and that you are holding the rod in your right hand. Imagine doing a backhand serve in badminton.

Step 1Adjust the brakes and spool control to a setting that you are comfortable with.

Step 2Hold the rod as if you are holding a bad-minton racket and move it to a similar position as if it were a badminton racket and you are preparing to do a backhand serve. This simply means that your rod is crosses your body with the tip pointing to the left. See picture on the left.

Page 91: The Asian Angler - March 2013 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

180 181

Step 3Practise this over and over: Using your wrist, draw the letter “C” with your rod. Do not release the line and keep your spool locked. Keep doing the letter “C” using your wrist and not your entire arm. Feel the force of the casting plug as it wants to shoot out due to inertia. Keep doing this and soon you will be able to catch the timing of release.

Step 4As in Step 3, draw the letter “C” with your rod but this time release the line allowing the rod tip to flick the lure or casting plug out. If it goes too high, you will have to release the line soon-er. If it goes too low, you will have to release the line later.

Step 5Reel in your casting plug and try again. Practise these few steps over and over again until it becomes sec-ond nature to you. As you get better, slowly loosen the spool and brakes to achieve better distance.

When the Americans got wind of a “Fran-kenfish” terrorizing farm stocks, and other small animals that got the country into panic mode, they were faced with a snakehead that they aptly named “Fishzilla,” of which is a very close relative to the striped snake-head.

Probably one of the most fished predators here, the haruan or Striped Snakehead is one fish that can live out of water and crawl from one body of water to another. They have been seen crossing roads, fields, muddy tracks, and also on forest route towards grandma’s house to eat the wolf before Little Red Riding Hood got there.

Sporting Fishes

Haruan: Channa Striata (Striped Snakehead)

By Philemon Foo

Page 94: The Asian Angler - March 2013 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

186 187

No, not really. Yes, this fish is an air breather and have indeed been seen crossing roads, fields, and muddy tracks. I have seen this personally; that is one of the ways they migrate from one pocket of water to another. Howev-er, they are not known to pose any form of danger to livestock or farm animals, farmers, and sheriffs with dogs. Little Red Riding Hood and the wolf are in no danger of the Striped Snakehead.

The average size these days are about 500g to about 2kg. Larger specimens of 3 to 3.5kg have been caught but not often. There are larger specimens but they are almost never caught or seen these days.

Just look at its head, no wonder the Americans thought they saw a monster.

Palate Haruans are meat eaters (carnivorous) and they would wait in ambush and hunt for other fishes as well as frogs, lizards, crustaceans, etc. They have also been caught on insects such as grass-hoppers and crickets, as well as the wriggly earth worm.

Territorial LonersHaruans are generally lon-ers and would attack to protect their territory. How-ever, when it comes time to spawn (which is frequent), the solitary loner goes in search of a mate and soon both become proud parents to a hundred or more young little red babies. Both par-ents would then guard their young attacking intruders or predators that lurk in for a meal.

Page 96: The Asian Angler - March 2013 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

190 191

A Place To Call HomeHaruans can be found in freshwater streams, lakes, ponds, rivers, swamps, paddy fields, as well as in slightly saline and or brackish waters. They prefer weeds and underwater vegetations but they have been caught in open water as well.

Page 97: The Asian Angler - March 2013 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

192 193

Haruans burrow in mud during the very dry seasons and can live in such conditions as long as the mud remains damp. This has been a frustration to commercial pond owners who farm fish for the restaurant trade.

I have seen ponds emptied and dried by fish farmers to rid their ponds of unwanted predator fishes such as the haruan. When they refill their ponds with water (which could be a month or more later) the haruan population would magi-cally return.

Page 98: The Asian Angler - March 2013 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

194 195

Fishing The HaruanHaruans can be caught on a variety of baits and lures. They are not as shy as some predators are or as some say, lacking in quality education. The most popular bait for haruan would be frogs (about 2 to 2.5 inches) followed by live fish such as tilapia.

My choice of baits would be soft baits (rigged weedless), spoons (with and without trailers), and spinners, all of which have been very successful in catching the haruan.

Being air breathers, haruans have got no choice but to surface for air. One of the ways of catching them would be to cast your lure or bait to them when you see them rise. If there are no rises, the next best thing will be to fan the area with your lure or bait.

Bottom fishing works as well for the more relaxed angler. Haruans do hunt for food such as live fish, certain in-sects, prawns, etc.

Page 99: The Asian Angler - March 2013 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

196 197

Recommended TackleRods: Medium action casting or spinning. For the extreme angler a medium light ac-tion rod will be fun and definitely a chal-lenge. There are places that warrant the use of heavy rods too depending on the type of the pond or lake.

Reels Spinning: Sizes 1000 to 2000 will be good enough.

Reels Baitcasting : Low profile low speed.

Lines: 10lb to 15lb braided (monofilaments can be used too but I prefer braids) in clear-er waters. In waters with dense vegeta-tion and snags, higher poundage of 25lb to higher can be used.

Leader Lines: 20lb to 25lb fluorocarbon.

Spoons: Various types and colors. The ci-cada spoon has been one of my favourites.

Spinners : Various types and colors, but my favourite color would be a silver spinner with black skirts.

Lures : Crankbaits, minnows, etc.

There you have it. Fishing for haruan is like hunting and is an adventure in its own way. Do email me at [email protected] should you need more information about fishing them.

I had a week’s worth of work in Malim Nawar, a small quiet town in between Tapah and Gopeng. The place is filled with old mining ponds; such an opportunity to fish daily after work was just too good to pass up.

The area is nearby ‘hot’ peacock bass spots such as Air Kuning, Clearwater Sanctuary and Tg. Tualang where anglers go do bat-tle with good size of peacock bass.

The Smith Panish lure is one of the firm favourites of local PB hunters

Ok the title is a little misleading, I must admit that I was trying for a prized catch but the fish had other ideas. Good thing I had my ultralight set as backup and that saved me from the dreaded ‘mangkor’! (empty handed).

You can find old mining ponds at almost every turn. Some have been ‘claimed’ and fenced with barbed wire, but many can be ac-cessed by anyone hoping for a catch or two.

Page 102: The Asian Angler - March 2013 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

202 203

Lucky Craft Wander rarely disappoints

I was lucky to have a local guide, abang (brother) Ibrahim, a cousin of a friend, to show us the good spots. Without which, I’d probably just try my luck at any pond that I see. Frankly speaking, just ‘stabbing in the dark’ at all the mining ponds available would have taken me ages to find a decent spot.

Page 103: The Asian Angler - March 2013 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

204 205

It was a case of casting every day after work. A quick change of clothes, a quick call to abang Ibrahim, grabbing our rods, and heading off to his ‘secret spots’.

Where we fished at was just too beautiful. Such tran-quillity is indeed the needed luxury away from busy Kuala Lumpur. When the peacock basses weren’t co-operative, at least the view was engaging enough.

Fish can be funny with their mood swings, for when they shut off; there is really not much you can do. However, the general rule is to always try to scale down your tackle whenever the fish are finicky and try to tempt them on lighter lines and smaller lures.

Catching Ikan Patung & Temperas on small streams with worms is great fun!

A tiny PB cant resist my Megabass Trick Darter

With the big boys being unimpressed with my presentation of the favourite ‘traditional’ topwater lures such as Mega-bass DogX, Jackall Mudsucker and Lucky Craft Sammy, I scaled everything down.

Page 108: The Asian Angler - March 2013 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

214 215

It was fun trying out my collection of small lures, many of which have been sitting idly in my tackle box for many years now. I happily found that other ‘traditional’ lures such as Lucky Craft Wander and Smith Panish still delivered the goods, although the sizes of the catches were nothing to shout about. Some small spoons and tiny pencil-baits also fared very well with the cich-lids.

If you ever find yourself in Malim Nawar, take your time there, enjoy the quiet kampong (village) pace and go catch a fish or two. Oh, there’s also a wicked capati place oppo-site the Malim Nawar mosque that’s open till late! You not only fish your heart out. You can eat your heart out too.

We came here every night for a bite, such a unique capati menu!

A Knot A MonthSponsored by Penn Fishing

Tying good knots is one of the most important things that any an-gler must learn. Certain knots should not be used on braided lines as braided lines are known to cut or damage themselves. Certain types of fishing requires thicker lines and yet smaller knots. There are knots for connecting lines to lines. There are knots for con-necting lines to hooks. There are knots connecting lines to spool. There are knots everywhere in fishing.

While there are many knots that you could use, you will probably stick to your favourites. Anyway, it is good to learn all of them. For this issue we will show you one of the simpler but effective knots, the Palomar Knot.

The Blood KnotThe Blood Knot is a great choice for splicing two lines of similar diameter. Ideal for attaching leader lines such as fluorocarbon or monofilament leaders to a braided mainline.

1.Cross the two sections of line to be joined and then wrap one tag end around the standing part of the other line five to seven times depending on line diameter.

2.Pass the tag end back between the two lines.

3.Wrap the other tag end in the same manner and bring it back through the same opening.

4.Moisten the line and pull the standing lines to tighten knot.

Fishing Kings By Philemon Foo

Developer : Gameloft

Devices : Apple and Android devices

Size : 462 MB

Version : 1.0.5

Rated: 4+

This month we take a look at another fishing game for mobile devices. This month we look at a game called Fishing Kings. It is a game that allows you (the angler) to catch different varieties of fish species using different types of fishing tackle.

Page 112: The Asian Angler - March 2013 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

222 223

In Game ExperienceFishing Kings will not give you a real live feel of fishing nor is it close, but it is a lot of fun to play with especially during the rainy season when one is not out fish-ing sebaraus. It allows you to cast your lure, play your lure either by moving your mobile device or turn-ing the reel. It also allows you to purchase equipment.

Page 113: The Asian Angler - March 2013 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

224 225

Imagine casting your lure out and being able to see how it swims, how fishes are reacting to it, what terrain it is swimming past, and how deep it is at; something every angler would love to have. Well, it is avail-able here (unfortunately not in the real world).

Page 114: The Asian Angler - March 2013 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

226 227

It is one of those games that give you credit for catch and release as well as keeping the fish. Catch and release gives you better ex-perience points but lower coins. Keeping the fish gives you more coins but experience wise, you don’t score as much.

Page 115: The Asian Angler - March 2013 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

228 229

Fishing At Different AreasYou start fishing out at sea in the Bahamas (how nice) and then in time progress to different places. This is the right kind of game for those that love adventure and want to see what fish species would be opening up next. How-ever it does take time and pa-tience is indeed a virtue.

Note: Moderate intake of coffee is good for you but too much may turn you into a zombie.

Page 116: The Asian Angler - March 2013 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

230 231

Different Fish SpeciesFishing Kings brings along with it 30 fish species for you to catch from both freshwa-ter such as the Amazon Riv-er, and saltwater (Bahamas for example). So far I have caught groupers, bonefish, barracudas, king mackerels, and ruby snapper. I have seen sharks and sailfishes swim-ming around as well as tiny eel like fishes.

Page 117: The Asian Angler - March 2013 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

232 233

Good Graphics What I like about the game is the graphics. The Developers have put in considerable amounts of effort to ensure that we love its graphics. Imagine swimming out at sea and looking underwater. Well, the graphics are not that real but almost everything is in 3D. You will be seeing fishes swimming, corals, and debris, all in 3D.

Page 118: The Asian Angler - March 2013 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

234 235

So would it be a game worth downloading? Well, yes if you have time and patience to play it. It certainly is a nice game to play and you can also share on social media what you’ve caught and how much you’ve earned, if you like that sort of thing that is.

Why not give it a go? You may get addicted to it.
