A
bu Garcia has a rod that is branded, well it is an Abu Garcia rod. But the good news is that it does not cost a bomb. It does not even cost a tiny bomb. It is certainly pocket safe and may cause some “accidental� purchases.
11
Looks Wise
Some big brands tend to undermine the looks of their lower budget level products giving them the “lower budget� looks, but Abu Garcia has certainly not done that. In fact they made the new BlackMax look good. It looks sporty and smart.
How Does It Feel?
The BlackMax rod is one of those rods that you would pick up, give it a feel, subconsciously price, and then take a look at the price tag and go; “what the @*#*?” “I am buying it.” While it does not feel like a high-end rod it certainly does not feel “cheap.” It feels like a solid performer; full of power. It is one of those rods that many will find an excuse to buy.
13
No Frills Rod
How Abu Garcia made an affordable yet high performance rod is by using a good core and shaving the cost off the others. The BlackMax rod comes with a good 24 ton graphite blank that has lots of power and good backbone. They shaved on the components. They use non branded high quality stainless guides with Titanium oxide inserts (rings) and graphite reel seats.
This allows one to take one’s time should one feel a need to mod the rod exchanging the components for branded ones say by Fuji. With a good core one has the option to build on it.

>Fish on and the Black Max rod is going into battle. 17
The BlackMax rod is a good caster especially on weightier baits. We get very good casting distances. It is when the monsters take the bait the BlackMax truly shines. It has lots of recoil power managing every fight really well. It has power to turn the heads of the monsters we were fighting without any loss of power; an attribute of a good strong backbone.
>Fish about to be landed. The Black Max has lots of power.
19
Verdict
While the Abu Garcia BlackMax may be priced at the lower end of its range, it certainly feels like a higher end rod. It fights very well and it exceeded my expectations. I was expecting a drop in power after bending past a certain level but the BlackMax held its head up and fought on. Very good value for the price.

Abu Garcia’s New Weapon
A
s anglers we consider ourselves sports people too. Fishing is after all a sport where men and women hunt down fish and try to catch them. With that in mind many an angler prefer their tools to be sporty, good looking, lightweight, and tough. Fishing tackle brands know that too and have since include materials and designs that are sporty, light, and tough into their products such as carbon graphite, carbon fibres, high grade stainless steel, etc.
The new Abu Garcia Oceanfield Jigging rod series are a series of jigging rods designed by Abu Garcia’s team in Japan. These rods are made to handle heavier jigs up to 300g. Built with a powerful backbone they are designed to manage hard fighting brutes.
25
Tough And Powerful
The Oceanfield Jigging gets its power and strenght from the contruction of its carbon graphite blank and Abu Garcia’s X Carbon Wrap; a crisscrossed type wrap that further strengthens the blank giving it added rigidity at essential areas. This also pushes up its power level giving it more rebound power, strength, and helps to reduce rod blank twist for a more consistent flow of power and energy.
High Quality Components
The Oceanfield comes equiped with quality components from its ergonomically designed grips that uses high quality EVA to its Fuji reel seats and guides. The Fuji reel seat holds reels securely in place adding confidence to the angler during battles.
27
The Fuji New Concept guides used here allows for smoother line flow, helps dissipate heat well, thus reducing damage to lines. These guides are also lightweight compared to normal ceramic guides and they are tough making them ideal guides for use with superlines.
Weight And Balance
These rods may not be super lightweight but they are light enough allowing anglers to fish long hours without fatigue setting in. They are also well balanced with the weight slightly at the tip area of which balances backwards toward the butt end with a reel secured. 29
>Rear grip made of high quality EVA.
Check Them Out
The Abu Garcia Oceanfield Jigging rod series will be hitting the stores soon. Do stay tuned and check them out especially if you’re in the market for a jigging rod. This is one good rod to consider. Contents Page

Ichikawa B.S.P Hooks For Soft Plastic, Swimbaits, Buzz Frogs, & Soft Jerkbaits
I
f you are an angler that fish a lot of soft baits, swimbaits, etc. do checkout the Ichikawa B.S.P hooks. These offset designed hooks are great for these type of fishing. They come with a longeyed offset area that reduces tearing of soft plastic baits. 43
These hooks hold the soft plastic baits in place when casting holding them is position. With the hook point hidden within the soft plastic baits, the baits become weedless. The points are really sharp too and with PTFE coating, become very effective with hook ups. PTFE coating makes the surface of these hooks smoother which provides better penetration.
The B.S.P hooks came about after extensive research and testing. These hooks have been factory set and aligned with the best amount of gape giving the soft plastic baits the best position when secured to the hook, eliminating unnatural movements. 45
The B.S.P hooks also holds fishes well especially during tough battles reducing the fishes chance of escaping. Ichikawa B.S.P hooks are made in Japan using quality steel giving them the needed toughness to handle hard fighting fishes. Sizes: #3/0, #5/0, #7/0 Contents Page

Ichikawa J-Spike Hooks 47
I
chikawa fishing has a new hook called the JSpike hooks that are made for jigging. The JSpike hooks are super sharp and they come with a flattened hook eye as with many types of jigging hooks.
The Ichikawa J-Spike hooks are coated with TIN making them ideal hooks for saltwater fishing. The TIN coated hooks can handle the harsh and corrosive nature of saltwater making them resistant to rust. 49
The Ichikawa J-Spike hooks are tough hooks made to manage hard fighting brutes. Being super sharp they can easily penetrate the fish’s lip. It is also designed to hold the fish securely especially during tough battles, reducing any opportunities of escaping.
The J-Spike hooks are made in Japan using high quality wires for all sorts of jigging. Sizes: #2/0, #3/0, #4/0

Silver Max
53
Fun Reel Abu Garcia has been bringing us reels for many many years now. Recently we fished ultra light with Abu Garcia’s Silver Max spinning reel; having ultra light fun with barramundis at a barramundi pond in Jugra.
55
Looks The Silver Max spinning reel good having a simple and unassuming design. It comes with a grey body and gun metal spool colours, with a black handle. Decent design and cosmetics in my opinion.
57
Weight The weight of the Silver Max spinning reel, this model especially, is quite light being an ultra light reel. It feels solid too and that is good especially for adding confidence to anglers when in battle with a fish.
59
Good Pair I paired the Silver Max spinning reel with Abu Garcia’s Axecutor Ultra Light rod and they made a good pair being well balanced. There was no feeling of fatigue fishing the entire six hours (almost).
61
Perfor mance I was fishing with 4lb braided line and smoothness is important as a jerky sticky spool will cause the line to burst. The Silver Max spinning reel performed smoothly and had zero line burst. It has enough drag to play and tire the fish out allowing for lots of fun, even with bigger fighters.
63
Features: 5 ball bearings + 1 roller bearing provides smooth operation Lightweight graphite body and rotor Machined aluminum spool provides strength without adding excess weight Everlast™ bail system for improved durability Slow Oscillation provides even line lay with all types of line Rocket line management™ system provides better control for all types of lines Rocket Spool Lip Design™ allows better control of line coming off the spool Gear Ratio: 5.2:1
Summary
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPsrGjbFiMI
I personally find the Abu Garcia Silver Max spinning reel to be a good performer. It also does not burn a hole in one’s pocket. Definitely a good reel for ultra light fishing. I foresee more fun to come.

Swiss-Garden Beach Resor
rt Kuantan
B
eaches are a lovely place to go to for a holiday. I enjoy going to beaches as there are so many things that one can do at the beach. Recently my travelling wanderlust brought me to the East Coast of the Malaysian peninsular, to a place called Kuantan in the state of Pahang. 67
A Coastal Capital City
Kuantan is the capital city of Pahang and it sits by the coast with a few popular beaches that has been attracting visitors to the state. One of them is Balok Beach and it is here that one will find Swiss-Garden Beach Resort Kuantan; the largest resort in said area.
69
Classic Charm
The Swiss-Garden Beach Resort Kuantan has been around for many years. One can tell from the architecture that it has been standing there for a long time. This classic charm has in recent years gone through some refurbishing and it looks good with nice water feature in the lobby, modern facade at its restaurants, and nicely decorated rooms.
71
Spacious Rooms
The rooms at the Swiss-Garden Beach Resort Kuantan are spacious with some overlooking the beach and some the greens. There are six room categories here and they are Deluxe Room, Executive Deluxe Room, Premier Deluxe Room, Studio Room, Family Room, and the Executive Suite. 73
We stayed at the Executive Suite which is large at 72 square metres. The Executive Suite is cosy with warm lights, and nice with tall ceilings. It has a living area with lots of space, a large bedroom, and a bathroom with a Jacuzzi. The king size bed is comfortable and certainly provides for good sleep. 75
> Classic Jaccuzi at the Executive Suite. 77
Food & Beverage
Filling one’s tummy is not an issue here. There are five outlets where one can go and have their fill. There is the Garden Terrace, The Blossom Chinese Restaurant, Swiss-Deli that serves snacks and pastries, Parrot Bar that is located at the beach, and Malibu Pub.
79
The Garden Terrace
We had our breakfast at the Garden Terrace where buffet breakfast is served. The spread here is a mixture of local and western cuisine. One has a choice of either dining outdoors or in the air-conditioned area. We opted for the air-conditioned area.
81
Nasi lemak (fragrant rice served with chili paste and other side dishes), congee, pancakes, waffles, bread, eggs, chipotle, and bacon seems to be the daily staple here together with fruits and pies for dessert. It is best to come early as it gets really packed as more guests come for breakfast.
83
> Outdoor dining at the Garden Terrace. 85
The other restaurant we dined at is The Blossom Chinese Restaurant. This restaurant serves halal Chinese cuisine and is famous for their dim sum especially amongst the locals that crowed the place during the weekends.
87
> Comfortable place to dine at. 89
> Delicious dim sum. 91
We had dinner here too. We had super delicious tamarind prawn dish, tasty Kung Pao squid, Szechuan beef dish, and lovely sweet and sour fish fillets. My favourite will have to be the tamarind prawn dish which is sweet and slightly salty. The prawns given are large in size and they are fresh.
93
> Kung Pao squid. 95
Fun Activities
There are quite a lot of things to do should one decide to not spend one’s entire holiday at the beach. At the beach one can opt for archery, beach soccer, volleyball, soap bubble blowing, rabbit petting, etc. One can bring kites too to fly at the beach.
97
Other outdoor activities include a swimming pool and tennis courts. Tennis lessons are provided should one want to learn tennis.
99
Indoor Activities For kids there is the Tupai Kid’s Club where kids can go have fun in a safe environment. There is a slide, plastic seesaws, traditional games, video games (Nintendo Wii), batik painting, etc. to keep children entertained. As for the older kids there are game machines (arcade games), pool tables, foosball table, etc. Those who enjoy table tennis can do so too as it is available here. There is a gym beside the Tupai Kid’s Club for those who adhere to a strict fitness regime and must workout even when on holidays.
101
> Tupai Kid’s Club with slides, blow-up castle, etc. 103
> Arcade game machines and pool table. 105
> Table tennis is available here. 107
> Fancy building muscles while on holiday? 109
Relaxing At The Spa
After walking about, visiting the sites, and playing on the beach, a massage will be nice to help calm one’s body, mind, and soul. This can be done at the Samsara Spa. The Samsara Spa offers traditional Thai and Malay massages as well as various other treatments. 111
> Bubble pool at the Samsara Spa. 113
Bit For Anglers
Anglers will certainly want to spend some time casting their baits and lures with hopes of catching a fish or two. One can fish from the hotel’s beach but just a short drive away are a few sweet spots. One of them is the Black Stone Beach. Local anglers tend to fish here.
115
Another place to fish at is around and about the waterways of Balok Beach. Children can be seen fishing along them. Pay closer attention and one will be able to see fishes too. Ultralight tackle recommended for increased levels of fun.
117
Enjoyable Stay
The Swiss-Garden Beach Resort Kuantan is certainly a nice place to stay at. It is near some attractions such as the Natural Batik Village, Black Stone Beach, and a little further will bring you to Teluk Cempedak Beach, Cherating Beach, Cherating Turtle Sanctuary, and even a Mini Zoo. > A porcupine taking an afternoon nap at the mini zoo in Teluk Cempedak. 119

Foodies Philemon Foo
Sara Thai Kitchen Balok Beach Kuantan
I
love eating and one of the things I always lookout for during my travels is food or rather food places. Kuantan is known for seafood and sea produce being a coastal city. One place to dine is is Sara Thai Kitchen; especially is one is staying at the Balok Beach area. Sara Thai is famous for its authentic Thai cuisine and grilled fish. 123
Delicious Tom Yam
The tom yam here is really good. I personally find it to be really tasty being sweet and sour enough to pack a punch. It’s level of spiciness is somewhere in the middle (manageable) and not too spicy (to me personally). The meat used in this dish include squid, prawns, and fish; come fresh.
Simple Yet Delicious
The veggie dish that tasted really good too although it is a simple dish. I ordered water spinach stir fried in oyster sauce. It was cooked just right with a just enough sweetness and saltiness. The gravy certainly did justice.
125
Delightful Grilled Fish
But the best dish of all is the grilled fish. We had barramundi grilled with chili paste and condiments. The barramundi served here is fresh, perhaps caught not too many hours ago. One thing though is the waiting time. We had finished the Thai part of our dinner and had to wait longer for the fish to arrive. ^ Hidden somewhere within the gravy is a fish. I swear.
Must Try
Should you be staying around the Balok Beach area, make your way to Sara Thai Kitchen. It certainly is a place I highly recommend especially if you are looking for grilled fish and Thai cuisine. Prices here are reasonable too.
127
The ambience here is good too having been designed to look like a mid-end restaurant. The best thing is their prices of which are at very reasonable levels. Do go early as it gets crowded after 7.30pm. > Good ambience at reasonbale prices.
