Pekan : Monsoon Season

2012-02-06T08:36:00.000-08:00

January 2012

Got call from our bestest kapitan, Azhar MJ to join together with ultimated sifu, Wan & Mukhtar for testing Pekan water in the middle of Monsoon Season. Do you dare to cruise along the big wave & strong windy condition ? I bet not many kakis dare to. But after explanation from Azhar, we immediately pack our stuff & drive to Pekan.

As usual, Pekan is our spot which we practice our light casting, popping & jigging. So we juz pack as minimum as we can. Normally we only brought 1 light jigging & 1 light casting setup. Our main target on this trip ofcoz the mighty F1 (Ebek) & Spaniard.

Poseidon Spinjerker 2.5 Light + SW5000 + PE2 + Caprice Kid 50

Some says, there is no big GT in Pekan water, Pekan is not the suitable place for popping & etc. So many weird sound i heard before from a few kakis. Now i show you that you are wrong. You didnt try with the best Captain, best spot & also best time to fish in Pekan yet. Some of you juz thinking about to fish so many fish as you can, but didnt try to work hard & focus. I wait 3 years to get this opportunity & it's worth it.

Truly amazing fight with my light setup to tame this beast. It was unbelievable moment becoz i lost the same type of popper for the first stike coz the GT make a long run to the shallow reef. Not to waste the time, i manage to tie another leader & rig to this popper with my shaking hands. After a few cast, there are a big splash & i know the GT already grab my popper over there. As i remembered, I think the fight take about 10-15minutes & honestly it was painful when you fight this size of GT with the light setup. Thanks to Azhar Mj coz navigate the boat out from the risky shallow reef area. If not, i bet i will lost another popper :)

Juz lucky when i'm on the right time & right place.

This is my personally NEW RECORD by Light Tackle.

The Three Sisters

2011-03-07T06:39:00.000-08:00

i) SP80M ; the youngest rated at PE6-8. My best choice to paired it with SW16000SOM on PE8 Avani GT/ SMP.

:::: Light Weight combos for full day popping session. Can handle 140g Cono-Cono & 150g GT2 easily. Also can handle GT Slider very nice.

ii) SP78H ; the mid and rated at PE6-10. My nice combo with SW18000 on PE8 Avani GT/SMP.

:::: Mid Weight for casting up to 170g GT3 & 180g BigFoot.

iii) MH80H ; the eldest and new range of blank construction rated at PE8-10. Choose to paired it with SW18000 on PE8 Avani GT/SMP.

:::: Close to SP78H function & can cast up to 170g GT3 & 180g BigFoot. But more forgiving action compare to SP78H. But still full a lot of power fight compare to SP78H. This is the rod which didn't break my skinny back :)

Need to wait till 3 years to collect this stuff b'coz only produce in limited quantity and some of its was no more in the market b'coz the production was stop by their maker.

Next Generation of Monster Hunting Stick

After a long wait now it's on My Rack

Konishi San

Monster Hunters. I had the opportunity to test both the 80H RF40 and the 79XH RF45. The 80H has already been released in small numbers and some of you may already have acquired one. The 79XH is the heavier version of this rod and is an international model; that is, it is only for the international market and will not be sold domestically in Japan. This rod will be released during 2011.

I found the 80H to be a very impressive all round rod. I would see it as a PE8-10 rod and it certainly has significant reserves of power down low. In terms of action, I feel the blank has a slightly more progressive action that the EXH. I would suggest both rods are roughly comparable in power. That said, the EXH clearly has a stiffer tip than the 80H. This would be a suitable rod for anyone looking for an all-round rod to throw poppers up to the 170g range and large stickbaits. The rod really does have some power down low. Konishi San landed his biggest GT of the trip on the 80H and he went really, really hard at times with the rod. I liked this rod a lot as an all-round mid-heavy GT rod and I liked it enough where I will be getting one myself.

From the 80H, we take a step up to the 79XH. This rod is another step up in power and I see this as a serious PE10 rod. The tip is probably approaching the EXH is stiffness and while the action is still relatively fast, it has a more forgiving taper than the SP rods like the EXH and UHL. Down low, this rod has loads of power. I found that this rod could take anything I was capable of dishing out on a fish and still had heaps of power in reserve down low. I feel this rod is suitable for poppers up to perhaps the 200g size although I would see around 170-190g as ideal. I will say that I feel that the tip is not strong enough for a King Kong or an I Cup. It will pop lures this size but I think there will be some degree of saturation in the blank. I would, however, see this rod as powerful enough for 95% of anglers who want to work big poppers. From a personal perspective, I will be looking closely at this rod as I have to admit that the UHL is beyond my capabilities these days and probably has been for a few years now.
