My fellow anglers and friends, Greetings to all. I hope all of you are having lots of fun fishing time. We have been busy as usual of which is good, and decided to add crazy into the mix as well. We decided to embark on a journey of urban fishing. That does not sound crazy. It sounds like a bunch of optimistic angler folks hoping to catch something within the urban environment. Well, we decided to use a jigging rod. Haha, now that sounds crazy doesn’t it? We did just that using the Abu Garcia SaltyStage Jiggernaut and it worked great. I’ll not spoil your read. Do check it out inside. Also, after embarking on a travel magazine and travelling about the country I realized just how wonderful Malaysia is for anglers. We have everything from big lakes, to big game saltwater fishing. Our fish stocks may not be as good and they have also become smarter (something that I observed in Belum) which means that we now have to think outside the box and change the way we fish. Do give this some thought. Meanwhile, I hope you enjoy this issue. Do share us with your friend too by sending them the link to our site. The more readers we have, the longer we can remain free. If you’ve not subscribed to our magazines, please do to ensure that you get all issues, They are free after all.

Malaysia Your Fishing Destination

alaysia has great beaches, lovely island paradises, good shopping places, wild natural jungles, etc. Visiting these places are what many visitors to this beautiful country do. One other activity that is not part of that norm but is slowly picking up in Malaysia is fishing. Malaysia is a good fishing destination.

Fishing The Great Lakes

There are a few great lakes in Malaysia. Some of these great lakes such Temenggor Lake, Royal Belum, Kenyir Lake, etc. attract lots of anglers both hardcore as well as weekend warriors, or the “once in a blue moon” anglers.

Of Predators & Monsters

Fishing these lakes are both challenging and rewarding. Fishing is not easy but one could battle monsters depending on one’s skills and luck. There are the brown snakeheads, hard fighting giant snakeheads, giant featherbacks, arowanas, fierce Hampala barbs, various types of catfish species, and more lurking in these waters.

Fishing The Jungle Rivers

The jungles of Malaysia are dense and is home to a lot of wild life including tigers, elephants, boars, bears, deer, snakes, birds, etc. The jungle rivers are habitats for powerful fishes such as the illusive red mahseer also known as the red torpedo, green or silver mahseers that are torpedoes in their own right, hampala barbs, the hard fighting monkey eating Wallago attu, etc. 13

Fishing these rivers will require that you spend a few days in the jungle. There will be jungle trekking, boating, canoeing, camping, and at some places, four wheel driving. One has to be reasonably fit to very fit to partake in these adventures; depending on the area chosen.

Sea Fishing

The sailfish capital of Asia is situated on the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia in a place called Rompin. They congregate there because of the abundance of baitfish. These majestic speedsters of the sea can often be seen roaming about flashing their dorsal fins also known as the sail, on the water’s surface. 15

Big Game Perhaps

Every year the sailfishes of Rompin attract hundreds of anglers from many countries to this little coastal town for a workout on the seas. Apart from sailfish, there are black marlins in the area but they are seldom caught. We recommend catch and release for all billfish caught.

Other Saltwater Warriors

The seas surrounding Malaysia are also home to mackerels, wahoo, yellow fin tuna, various species of trevallies, dorado, cobia, various species of groupers including giant grouper, various types of snappers, barramundi, barracudas, various threadfin species, etc. These fighters are found in many parts of the country’s coastal waters at both East and West Malaysia. 17

There Are Sharks Too

There are also various type of sharks including whale sharks, as well as rays, whales, dolphins, etc. that roam these waters but are not targeted sport fishes. When it comes to sharks, there are quite a few species from dangerous ones such as bull sharks to the less dangerous ones like the lizard sharks in these waters, but to date there have been only three attacks since 1968 and non were fatal. We recommend that all sharks caught to be released.

Commercial Fishing Ponds

For the less adventurous or perhaps for those who only have a few hours to fish, a visit to the commercial fishing ponds also known as pay ponds can be fun. There are plenty of them around and they can be found in almost every part of the country.

Not As Easy As It Sounds

Most of these ponds are regularly stocked. Some are even stocked on a daily basis. That said, fishing these ponds can prove to be a challenge. Fishing skills come into play. Local knowledge is a big help. Luck plays a part. But every pond has a secret that are guarded by those who frequent them.

Some Famous Ones

Some of the famous commercial fishing ponds include the Natural Exotic Fishing Pond in Rawang Selangor; a place I test out fishing tackle, Bedong Fishing Pond (Kedah, north of the Malaysian Peninsular), Damai Fishing Village(Johor, south of the Malaysian Peninsular), Fish Valley (Selangor), Jurassic SW Pond (Sepang, Selangor), Hulu Langat Fishing Pond (Selangor), etc. 21

Fishing Guides

Fishing guide services are available in Malaysia for all sorts of fishing therefore one does not have to worry. Even if you’ve not planned for a fishing trip in Malaysia and did not bring any fishing tackle with you but would like to do some fishing (ad hoc), this can still be arranged. Most fishing guides provide fishing tackle. Most pay ponds provide them too on rental basis. *Fishing tackle = fishing equipment

Summary

If you are an angler looking for a place to go fishing, do consider Malaysia. Fishing in Malaysia can be good. However, like fishing in any country, it is best to check in advance what the fishing seasons are. For more info do send an email to: info@theasianpublisher.com 23

Jiggernaut Goes Light Finesse Fishing With A Jigging Rod Testing Grounds: Various Places Series: Salty Stage Jiggernaut Model: ASJS601L-FSJ Opponents: Brown Snakeheads

ome time ago we shove the Abu Garcia Salty Stage jiggernaut into the ring with the Amazonian redtail catfish and it survived the fight shaken but alive. Being a light action rod It’s slower action blank took some massive beating and gave some back. It was a lot of fun; harrowing fun. To Related Article

More recently we took it (baitcasting model) to Pulau Jarak (Jarak Island) to see how it would do against the fishes there. It did well battling golden snappers despite being its thin and light self. The fight was not easy but at the end the Jiggernaut prevailed. 27

Going Quite Mad

With such a blank we wanted to know how it would fair casting light baits since it is a light jigging rod. With that in mind we decide to do some finesse fishing casting out light 1 inch softbaits on jighead. Well, maybe we have gone a bit mad. Perhaps but why not?

Field Test

Light action rods with soft action tips makes casting light baits fun. Their ability to flick out these light baits make them superb finesse rods. But what about the Jiggernaut of which is a light jigging rod and not exactly a finesse rod? 29

With that in mind we took some softbaits, jigheads, and the Jiggernaut to a stream to do some softbait fishing. We used Berkley Powerbait 1 inch grubs, my favourite for this sort of fishing, and the Owner Ultra Head jigheads. Both combined gave a total weight of 3 grams.

Casting Abilities

Casting out the Berkley Powerbait grub was easy. Every cast gave good distances and with a good distance between the angler and where the bait dropped means further coverage and cranking distance. Fishing in a high pressured area such as the one we fished in, having good distances makes a difference. 31

The slower action of the Jiggernaut made playing brown snakeheads fun. It certainly has more than enough backbone to bring up the fish but when the fish makes a little dash, the rod bends and the pull of the fish is felt as it tries to make a run for cover. It really is fun playing with the fishes that way before bringing them up for photos and then releasing them back to fight another day.

Verdict

Yes, the Abu Garcia Salty Stage Jiggernaut can play the part in finesse fishing too. It is light enough to cast light weights and has proven to be a versatile rod. A realm into a world of finesse jigging may be upon us.

Ultra Head Jigheads

ith soft baits being one of my favourite ways of fishing, jigheads are a norm in my tackle boxes. There are many brands available in the market and one of them is Owner. Owner has long made jigheads. They also make them for other brands. Thus this time I decided to test owner’s own jigheads.

Sharpness Test

Running the Owner Ultra Head jighead’s hooks on the surface of a plastic spoon to see if it will catch on. Sharp hooks will catch on and even hold on under steady hands. The Ultra Head caught onto the surface of the spoon too. We test all from the pack and they proved to be sharp. 37

Saltwater Test

Like all the hooks that we’ve tested, we put the Ultra Head to the saltwater test too. We always say that we are trying to get them to rust but in reality all we want to know is how well they can manage corrosion. With that in mind we drowned the Ultra Head in saltwater for 24 hours (more).

After Lab Test 24

After 24 hours we removed the Ultra Head from the saltwater solution and inspected it for signs of rust. We didn’t see any. Next is to run the hook through the surface of the plastic spoon to see if it is still sharp. Yes, it remains sharp. 39

Field Test

It has done well thus far. Next we took it to a stream and attached a Berkley Powerbait Grub softbait and started to cast with the hopes of catching a fish. In a short time a snakehead decided to take the bait. With a like strike the hook was set and the fish made its way up the banks for a photo session.

Verdict

The Owner Ultra Head jigheads are super sharp and they resist corrosion well. They certainly are good quality jigheads and good quality hooks. I certainly will not expect anything less from Owner. Price wise let us put it this way; it matches the quality and is certainly reasonable. 41

Decoy Rocket Plus SV-69

he Decoy jigheads are really impressive and for light or finesse fishing, one of the jigheads available is the Decoy Rocket Plus SV-69 jighead. It looks different than other jigheads as it comes with a cylindrical head and a blob on the hook that helps hold the soft bait in place.

Sharpness Test

Running the hook point on a plastic spoon is one of the ways that we use to test the sharpness of hooks. The other way is to run in on our thumbnail. Using the plastic spoon method as the surface is harder and smoother; we tested the Rocket Plus and it easily latched on to the surface of the spoon. This means that the hook is sharp. 45

Corrosion Test

Next we drowned the Rocket Plus into a solution of saltwater for 24 hours. This is done to test if it will corrode or rust within a 24 hours time frame. Of course we do not leave our jigheads in the water for 24 hours when we fish unless they got snagged. So, if it survives, you know it will be able to last throughout your fishing trip.

After 24 Hours

After over the 24 hours period we removed the Rocket Plus from the saltwater solution and inspected it for rust. No rust was detected. Next we ran it through the sharpness test to see if it has gotten blunt. The Rocket Plus latched on to the plastic spoon again. It remains sharp. 47

Verdict

Good quality modern hooks these days can easily handle saltwater well and such is the Rocket Plus. It remained sharp and in good condition despite staying in saltwater for over 24 hours. Good jigheads indeed.

Abu Garcia Revo Spinning Reel Series

he Abu Garcia Revo reels used to baitcasting reels and they were one of the toughest taking fishes from the playful peacock bass to the high speed sailfish. Oh yes, they did. The Revos were tough and capable fighters. Now Abu Garcia has launched a new side of the Revo reels. This time the Revo has gone spinning.

Revo S

Let us start with the Revo S, the storm trooper of the Revo spinning series. It comes in black and white and it looks like a reel made for the Star Wars storm troopers. It looks good and I do like the combination of colours.

Features 7 stainless steel HPCR™ bearings + 1 roller bearing provides increased corrosion protection Carbon Matrix™ hybrid drag system for super smooth reliable drag performance IM-C6™ (Insert molded C6) body design combines an X-Cräftic™ gearbox design with a C6 carbon body, which gives a lightweight construction that houses gears in perfect alignment Lightweight graphite rotor Rocket line management™ system provides better control of all types of fishing lines Rocket spool lip design™ allows better control of line coming off the spool Large PVC knob provides greater comfort and durability Machined aluminum braid ready spool allows braid to be tied directly to the spool without any slip Stainless steel main shaft and components for improved corrosion resistance Everlast™ bail system for improved durability Slow Oscillation provides even line lay with all types of line 53

Revo SX

The Revo SX comes in striking metallic dark red and black rotor, spool, and a black + gun metal chromed body. Its handle is aluminium bent is a nice way. Overall the design of the Revo SX is nice and sinister. I do like nice and sinister.

The Revo SX spinning reel incorporates a moulded IM-C6 carbon body to a one piece aluminium gearbox giving it a rigid body while keeping its weight low. In fact, this new Revo SX is lighter than the previous ones. This also feels and looks a lot better. 57

Features 8 stainless steel HPCR™ bearings + 1 roller bearing provides increased corrosion protection AMGearing™ system provides precision machined gears for unparalleled smoothness and durability Computer optimized gear design allows for the most efficient gear system Carbon Matrix™ hybrid drag system for super smooth reliable drag performance IM-C6™ (Insert molded C6) body design combines an X-Cräftic™ gearbox design with a C6 carbon body, which gives a lightweight construction that houses gears in perfect alignment Lightweight graphite rotor Rocket line management™ system provides better control of all types of fishing lines Rocket spool lip design™ allows better control of line coming off the spool K- Clutch™ anti reverse Flat EVA knob provide greater comfort and durability Machined aluminum braid ready spool allows braid to be tied directly to the spool without any slip Stainless steel main shaft and components for improved corrosion resistance

Revo STX

The Revo STX to me starts looking a little bit mundane to me. It looks a little too grown up. It is like a crowd of Lotus Elise, Mazda RX7, BMW Z5, and suddenly a Mercedes Benz E class Coupe. Anyway, it is not a bad looker. It does look really good, in the grown up section.

It comes with a black and silver spool, silver & gun metal chromed rotor with carbon fibre inserts, silver and black body, and a chromed base. It may look mundane but it is a very capable reel. It is lightweight, rigid, smooth, and feels like high performance reel. 61

Features 9 stainless steel HPCR™ bearings + 1 roller bearing provides increased corrosion protection AMGearing™ system provides precision machined gears for unparalleled smoothness and durability Computer optimized gear design allows for the most efficient gear system Carbon Matrix™ drag system provides smooth, consistent drag pressure across the entire drag range IM-C6™ (Insert molded C6) body design combines an X-Cräftic™ gearbox design with a C6 carbon body, which gives a lightweight construction that houses gears in perfect alignment C6 carbon rotor provides significant weight reduction without sacrificing strength or durability Rocket line management™ system provides better control of all types of fishing lines Rocket spool lip design™ allows better control of line coming off the spool K-Clutch™ anti reverse Flat EVA knob provide greater comfort and durability Machined aluminum braid ready spool allows braid to be tied directly to the spool without any slip Aircraft grade aluminum main shaft

Revo Inshore

The Revo Inshore spinning is Abu Garcia’s answer to quality saltwater spinning reels. Coming in electric blue and black, the inshore does look decently sporty. I like the electric blue and black combination, somewhat like a TRON bike colour.

The Revo Inshore is a saltwater grade reel using corrosion resistant bearings (HPCR), Insert Molded IM-C6 carbon body, and X-Craftic allow gearbox design of which is corrosion resistant as well. This makes the Inshore lighter and capable of managing saltwater better. 65

Features 6 stainless steel HPCR™ bearings + 1 roller bearing provides increased corrosion protection AMGearing™ system provides precision machined gears for unparalled smoothness and durability Computer optimized gear design allows for the most efficient gear system Carbon Matrix™ drag system provides smooth, consistent drag pressure across the entire drag range C6 carbon rotor provides significant weight reduction without sacrificing strength or durability (30-40 size) Lightweight aluminum rotor (60 size) IM-C6™ (Insert molded C6) body design combines an X- craftic™ gearbox design with a C6 carbon body, which gives a lightweight construction that houses gears in perfect alignment (30-35 sizes) X- Cräftic™ alloy body provides increased corrosion resistance (40-60 size) Rocket line management™ system provides better control of all types of fishing lines Rocket spool lip design™ allows better control of line coming off the spool K-Clutch™ anti reverse (30-40) Large EVA knobs provide great grip with increased comfort

Revo Premier

The Revo Premier is to me the best looking reel amongst the latest Revo spinning reel series. It come with a black spool lines with gold, a silver rotor and chrome rotor with carbon fibre inserts, and its body is silver with black and gold trims and a chromed bottom.

Revo MGX

The MGX conjures up an image of the dark knight or perhaps Darth Vader is you’re more into sci-fi and less into super heroes. Perhaps the two will have to battle it out to see who gets it. For those who are into baitcasting, the Revo MGX spinning seems somewhat familiar. It takes some design cues from its casting brethren.

It comes in black, black carbon fibre, with silver lining, and gun metal grey chrome colours. It does look nice in a dark sense. It comes with a unique X-Mag magnesium alloy one piece gearbox, light weight C6 rotor and body, and it is very smooth; certainly a high performance reel. It is the lightest amongst the new Revo Spinning reel series. 77

Abu Garcia Gambit Series

bu Garcia recently launched a series of rods that are based on the chess pieces in a game of chess. The Abu Garcia Gambit rod series is a set of rods that feature an Arch Bishop, a Pawn Star, the Wild Jester, An Iron Cavalier, a Dark Knight, the Hard Rook, and the Royal King.

Value For Money

The Gambit rod series is a value for money no frills rod. It comes standard with a 25 tone graphite blank that is tough and great for most freshwater fishing, modern sporty Japanese design, and quality EVA handles or grips.

Well Balanced

These rods are well balanced being a bit tip heavy without a reel on. With a reel on (depending on size) the weight is transferred backward bringing the whole set up to a better balance of which also translates to reduced weight feel especially during fishing.

Skill Enhancers The Asian Angler

Lure Fishing Basics Straight Retrieve

Part 6

ne of the most basic techniques that I highly recommend to beginner lure casters is the straight retrieve technique of which is easy to execute and is effective at catching Fish.

Lure Types

The straight retrieve technique can be used with many types of lures from sinking, diving, to top water or surface lures. They can be minnow or shad (Fish designed types) to other designs such as cicadas as well as other more uniquely designed lures.

111

The Start

Before casting always ensure that your lure is swimming right. For detailed description please refer to earlier month’s issue (Basics of Lure Casting Part 4). After you tested your lure cast it out right in front of you. Once the lure hits the water, allow it to sink (if sinking lure). Floating lures will stay in place but a float.

Lure Retrieve

The retrieve is easy. Point your rod tip at the water and retrieve the lure back to you in a straight line all the way back to you. Then cast and retrieve again. For the first few cast, pay attention to the lure. Feel it’s vibrations and see how it moves (action) as it comes swimming back to you. 113

Vary The Speed

Next is to retrieve your lure back at different speeds. Slow down the retrieval speed and feel the vibrations and again see how it acts as it makes its way back to you. Next increase the speed of retrieval and again feel the vibrations and see how it acts.

Constant Speed

Try to retrieve your lure, cranking at a constant speed especially fish type lures. You may be cranking at fast, medium, or slow speeds but keep it constant. Many a times a fish going for the lure may suddenly stop and turn back should the lure suddenly slows down or stops. This depends on the targeted species. Sebaraus (Hampala barb) for example are one of those fishes that would turn back. 115

When To Stop Cranking

Some the lure allows you to feel the terrain especially deep diving lures. Like when your lure hits something hard, or when it is digging about a sandy bottom, you will be able to feel these signals especially if you are using supervises with a higher carbon rod blank that transmits vibrations well.

When you hit something hard you may want to pause for a while just in case your lure hits a tree stump and may get snagged. In cases of such, pause for a while and give the line a slow and gentle pull using the rod. If the lure is not snagged, continue with your retrieve. If it has snagged, a lure retriever will come in handy. 117

Things To Note

There are lures that work best at a certain speed. It is best to know your lure’s well. Also note the speed differences of your reel. High speed reels will crank your lure back at a faster speed. Faster speed also means a change in lure action.

Slow speed reels will have your lure swimming slower should you be cranking the reel using the same cranking speed of action high speed reel, meaning the speed of which you are turning the handle.

All About Hooks: Part 6 Jigheads

ne of the hooks used when fishing with soft plastics or soft baits are jigheads. Soft plastics alones are pretty light (unless larger ones) and jigheads give them weight. The weight helps with the cast as well as with the manipulation of the soft plastic in the water or on top of vegetation.

d a e H e

The head of the jighead lies the weight. It can be made of lead or stainless steel. Some countries have ban on lead and thus only stainless steel jigheads are allowed to be used. This weight or head helps with casting and manipulation of the soft plastic. 123

s n ig

s e D

The jighead comes in a variety of designs, weights, and colours; depending on what you choose to use. Some of them are round, some are cylindrical, some are conical, some are designed to look like the head of a fish, etc. Colours add to the attractiveness of the entire rig.

/ s r e d l o H t i a B hors c n A

Some jigheads come with bait holders / anchors (different brands call them different thigns) that help to hold the soft plastic bait in place. Without these parts as with earlier jighead models, the soft baits tend to slide out of shape after a cast or two and will frequently have to be readjusted. These parts eliminate the need for constant readjustments. 125

y r T

m e h T

If you’ve not used jigheads before, do give them a try. Although they are used mainly with softbaits, you can used them with other baits as well depending on your creativity.

Salmo Hornet Story - Secretive Rise of a New Classic Legend Part 2

S ome lures come, some lures go. This here is

part 2 of the Salmo Hornet story. For part 1, you do checkout last month’s issue. To Related Article

Action

All Hornets are hand tuned featuring an extremely tight side to side action coupled with the occasional erratic roll, unlike regular wooden crank shads that gives plenty of side to side wiggle. Even on super slow retrieval, the tremendous amount of vibration from the Hornet can most certainly be felt and transported to your hand, regardless of the gear (spinning or baitcasting) and line weight. 129

This lure dives gradually to its rated diving depth in a smooth steady gradient. Additionally, the Hornet does not skew sideways easily despite being cranked at very high speeds, making them unbelievably versatile. This gains them acceptance from both beginners and seasoned pros, straight out of the box. Fishes will definitely feel the Hornet with their lateral line even if the regular Hornets are nonrattlers and in murky waters due to the amount of action it creates.

In my opinion, the Hornets are more suited for casting into fish holding areas and structures as compared to a search lure, to cover a wide body of clear water. The Hornet may not be a champ in distance casting department, but it is a lure that is as reliable in close quarter combat. 131

Casting a Hornet lure long distances may wear you out quickly no thanks to its immense action during the crank back through unproductive waters, and such actions makes much more sense in fish holding areas even if it is highly pressured, where fishes are likely to be seduced by the vibration of the Hornet instead of just swim actions.

The ability of the Hornet to go fast or slow without losing its action also plays a part to tempt wary fish to investigate the lure. Besides that the changing of lure to match different retrieval speeds will no longer be a necessity, thus saving lots of precious fish catching time.

133

Application

Personally, I prefer to work the Salmo Hornet on straight retrieves, manipulating only the speed of retrieval. Jerking the Hornet is also fine but the lure movement is already erratic enough on its own. Adding more jerking motion just adds extra load on your wrist. You may not want to tire yourself up quickly especially during long trips!

The Salmo Hornet is a no brainer lure, at least to me. It is a simple lure to use. The floating version has a high buoyancy rate. One other unique thing about the floating version is that it floats backwards and away unlike most floating lures that just float up towards the surface. This characteristic coupled with the good snag deflection ability of the lure makes the Salmo Hornet a great lure to work in heavily snagged areas. 135

Areas such as wooden log and log piles commonly associated with large rivers as well as reservoirs, and river with large boulders or rocks are not a problem for the Hornet. It also does surprisingly well in pay ponds with plenty of rocks, wooden stilts, and even PVC pipes at the bottom as well as the sides due to its snag deflection properties.

That said, the Hornets are not recommended for areas filled with weeds, the bib of the Hornet while good at avoiding hard structures, tend to drag up weeds or debris due to its bib. Although the lure would not be stuck under such circumstances, but it is pointless to waste time cleaning up the pond with your lure on every cast. 137

To Be Continued

Next issue we will go further touching into light tackle or finesse with the Salmo Hornet and more.

Junior Anglers

By Amirul Irfan

How I started fishing?

n this article I will write about how I started fishing. Fishing can seem like a boring and crazy thing to do, but once you get into it – it’s a beautiful world. Fishing can be an escape and therapy for some, and for youth it can be a barrier from various social problems.

Angler : Amirul Irfan I began fishing around 2001 when I was 3 years old. At the time, my dad was studying in the University of Missouri. After class, he would take me bass fishing at some local ponds. My first catch was a largemouth bass on a soft plastic and a Berkley Kids fishing kit with 6lb Trilene. For a 3 year old, the fight was intense and it has kept me hooked until this day. 141

In 2003, my family moved back to Malaysia. In primary school I did not fish much. Whenever I fished I fished with bait like worms and bread. When I was 11, my preference shifted from bait fishing back to lure fishing. Up until now I still can’t get away from lure fishing. It feels amazing to be able to fool fish with artificial lures.

I fish because it makes me happy. It is an escape from problems I have. On the water, I lose track of time and I can relax. Catching a fish brings joy like opening a present. When I feel stressed I go fishing to clear up my mind. This helps boost my productivity as I can maintain positive thoughts in what I do. 143

My advice to anyone deciding to try out fishing is to find someone who fishes and learn from them. Go out there and have fun, don’t pressure yourself too much on catching a fish.

In the beginning, not catching anything can be disappointing but in time you will be used to it. Lowering your expectations as you begin will bring you great results. Don’t forget to catch and release too – it’s crucial to keep the sport alive. 145

Next issue my friends will share their experience on how they started fishing. Stay tuned to The Asian Angler. Good luck again and as always practice catch & release and stay safe while fishing.

Bring Your Kids Fishing Every child needs to spend time outdoors. Fishing in a safe and educational sport 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. The Asian Angler Team Contents Page

The updated Veritas series continues the tradition of lightweight design and superior sensitivity with a renewed focus on strength. By developing a Spiral Core Construction process with our 30 Ton graphite blanks, our engineers were able to significantly improve break strength without increasing weight. Overall break strength improved an average 22% while tip strength increased by over 30%.
