My Fellow Anglers & Friends Welcome to the Angling and Outdoor Recreation Fair 2016 Special Issue. We decided to dedicate this issue to the fair as it is one of the events that a lot of anglers look forward with a lot making it to the fair and even more that can’t but wish they could. This year’s Angling and Outdoor Recreation Fair is the largest tackle fair in South East Asia and it is something to be proud of. This year’s fair we see some interesting products by local fishos who have decided to try their hand at designing products and retailing them. Brands such as Kanicen Nix, Drave, etc. can be seen at this year’s fair sharing a booth and calling themselves Fish Avengers. Good to see such entrepreneurial spirits. The fair also saw lots of products from the larger angling distributors such as OAG Worldwide, SureCatch World, TCE Tackles, The Season Tackle, Expert Graphite, etc. as well as those who are focused on outdoor recreation like Coleman, Explorer Marine, Kairos Boats, Torjan Boats, etc. All in all the fair was a success and we look forward to the next one. Meanwhile thank you for supporting us and do share The Asian Angler with your friends. To all our Muslim friends and readers celebrating Hari Raya, I on behalf of my team wish you Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri, Maaf Zahir Dan Batin.

Best regards, Phil Founder, Editor In Chief

Angling & Outdoor Recreation Fair 2016

ne of the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest angling fair, The Angling And Outdoor Recreation Fair 2016 was recently held on the 27th - 29th May 2016 at the Setia City Convention Centre in Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia; bring about anglers from far and near. 9

This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fair has about forty five exhibitors from fishing tackle distributors, to outdoor companies, as well as boats, car companies, etc. It was certainly a sort of a fun fair for anglers and outdoors enthusiasts. It is a great place to see whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new in the fishing world as well as to checkout products that are essential for outdoor fun and recreation.

Lots of Activities

The organizers had lots of activities lined up from talks on pond fishing or bottom fishing to finesse fishing to special demonstrations such as saltwater fishing with electric reel, fly casting techniques and classes, baitcasting techniques, etc. There were also contest like tent pitching contests, and lucky draws. 11

OAG Worldwide Sdn. Bhd.

Looking for some of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lightest reels or tough hard fighting reels? OAG Worldwide showcased reels by Accurate of which are built tough and some of the latest and lightest reels from Pflueger the makers of some of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lightest reels that will blow your mind

Other than reels they also showcased some future rods by Pflueger, baits and lures by ZMan and ZCraft. When it comes to terminal tackles such as hooks and rings Decoy offer some of the best and OAG showcased them during the show.

During the show, OAG ran a photo contest giving away Accurate reels, Pflueger reels, and other prizes. They also demonstrated the power of their rods to visitors that dropped in for a visit showing off its strength and flex.

ZMan

ZMan is said to be the fastest growing bait brand in America and they may be. ZMan is famous for its soft baits that a very stretchable. Not only are they stretchable, they are also quite durable which means that one bait can potentially land a few fishes. 15

ZMan, very stretchable soft plastic baits.

Decoy

For those who are unfamiliar with Decoy, Decoy makes some of the best hooks and jig heads ever. Decoy is a Japanese brand whose hooks and jig heads are super sharp and they are very reliable. They have some of the best split rings and snaps too. 17

Pflueger

Again for those unfamiliar with Pflueger, it is one very established reel brand that has its roots going back all the way to Europe. Today they make some of the lightest reels in the market such as the Pflueger Patriarch spinning reel.

Accurate

One of the brands distributed by OAG is Accurate a saltwater reel brand from America that is known to be a reel tough on hard fighting fishes. These reels were showcased during the Angling and Outdoor Recreation Fair and visitors were allowed to play with them to see how robust they are. 19

Kanicen Nix

For those of you who are into ultra light tackle fishing, you know that there are not many ultra light rods to choose from. Kanicen Nix is one of the answers to your rod hunting issues. Kanicen Nix has some rods made especially for ultra light fishing.

You may have not heard of a rod brand called Kanicen Nix. Kanicen is a well known ultra light tackle angler here in Malaysia. He recently designed some rods for ultra light fishing called Leebas and these rods are pretty awesome. 21

KN Leebass Rods

PDF Readers: Click Link To Watch Videos Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M48-1giTu7Q

The KN Leebass rod uses a 30 ton graphite blank of which gives it enough power to manage fishes while having a forgiving tip to absorb the sudden force or pressure of the fishes run. It is 6ft in length, with a max line weight of 1-6lb, and 1-8 grams lure weight.

Good looking reel seat.

Good looking ultralight rods these are.

Other than fishing rods Kanicen Nix has some soft baits under his brand called Grenti Strike (Grenti comes from the word Guarantee) of which simply means â&#x20AC;&#x153;Guarantee a strike.â&#x20AC;? They come in a few designs such as grubs, paddle tail shads, and shrimps. For more information do check out http://www.kanicen.com/. 25

DRAVE

When it comes to making your reel look cool, DRAVE has some pretty darn cool accessories that will make your reel look like a one of the machines in the movie Transformers. Drave showcased some of their custom accessories during the show and I must say that they could give you diabetes because they are sweeeeet.

What’s sweeter is that the accessories by DRAVE are locally made (made in Malaysia) and are affordable. They are priced below some of the more well known brands the likes of ZPI and Hedgehog Studios. So, if you are not looking at brands and want a “killer” looking reel, check them out. http://www.dravefishing.com/ 27

TCE Tacklesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; booth is almost always busy.

Deeper Smart Fishfinder

Deeper is unlike any other fishfinders. It can be cast out into the water and scans the bottom collecting information such as structures, depth, fish etc. and sends the information to your mobile phone. That is why I like it.

Penn Fathom Reel Testing Grounds: Pulau Jarak Series: Penn Fathom Opponents: Snappers

he PENN Fathom reel is a lightweight powerhouse of a reel. Being a full metal body reel it is built tough to handle the hard fighting fishes as well as the corrosive properties of seawater. It is not only built tough, it also looks tough. 107

Precise Gear Alignment

Being a full metal body reel, the side plates are not only tough. They keep the gears in precise alignment even under heavy loads allowing the angler to go into battle with confidence battling monsters.

Smooth Drag

The drag of a reel is crucial when battling a fish, especially a trophy fish. The Fathom comes with Pennâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proven powerful HT-100 drag system that stays smooth from the start to the end of the range helping the angler subdue fish after fish.

109

Fast In Its Class

The Fathom may not be the Ferrari of reels but it is fast. It has a gear ratio of 6.0:1. If modern day low profile baitcasters are the Ferraris, the Fathom would probably be the Ford Mustangs; fast but not as fast yet more muscle.

Playing With Gladiators

We took it to Pulau Jarak (Jarak Island) on the west coast of the Malaysian Peninsular to see how it performed. It took on snappers after snappers without giving up. It performed well throughout the test. It remained smooth under pressure, handled the brutes well with lovely drag, and help land fishes.

The Asian Angler

Pflueger President Limited Edition

flueger has been making some really good looking and lightweight reels. The Pflueger President Limited Edition being lighter, better looking, and a faster reel; brings the President reel series to the next level.

Black Knight

To me, the Pflueger President Limited Edition conjures up an image of a black knight (not the Dark Knight aka Batman), the knights that would give King Arthur and his knights a headache so big heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d wished he had not pulled out the Excalibur from the rock. 139

Sinisterly Nice

The President Limited Edition comes in a dark metallic black body and rotor, with gun metal grey chromed on its side (rotor) and at the bottom of the reel. it has red lines to add character to its design. The spool in gun metal grey with red linings. Put them all together and you get a black knight.

Spool

The spool feels light. It is ported with an unusual design of squares and rounded rectangles. The spool is braid ready of which means that you can use braided lines on it with the need of a monofilament backing. 141

Thick Bail Wire

The President comes with a thick bail wire, perhaps a show of strength and power as with most knights; an intimidating look helps psychologically. Yes, that applies to fishing too. When an angler uses tough looking and feeling fishing tackle, his or her confidence is boosted. This help win battles.

Splendid Handle

The handle of the President looks really good. It come in gun metal black with a carbon fibre handle. The knob is made of rosewood. Using rosewood not only adds elegance to the reel. It also adds to its sinister character since rosewood has red coloured grains. 143

Smooth Performer

With 9+1 corrosion resistant ball bearings (6+1 on the size 20), the President Limited Edition is one sleek and smooth performer. Cranking feels smooth and connected. The well balanced rotor certainly adds to the smoothness.

Main Shaft And Gears

Pflueger opted to give the President Limited Edition an aluminium main shaft and aluminium pinion gear. This is done to bring down the weight of the reel. Pflueger claims that by doing so they managed to reduce the weight by 30% on the main shaft and 60% on the pinion gear. 145

Sealed Drag

To improve the performance of the drag, the President Limited Edition comes with an advanced sealed drag system that keeps water and dirt away thus giving optimum drag performance. This increases the durability of the drag washers.

Thumbs Up

We have not tested the Pflueger President Limited Edition (as of time of writing) out in the field yet but so far it looks good and feels good. It has got a rigid body, reel foot, etc. Well, stay tuned as we will be taking the President Limited Edition out to the field soon. 147

Features 10 Bearing System - Corrosion resistant stainless steel ball bearings Aluminum Main Shaft - 30% lighter than stainless steel Aluminum Pinion Gear - 60% lighter than traditional brass gear Braid Ready Spool - Allows braid to be tied directly to spool Sealed Drag System - Sealed drag washers, always lubricated, always smooth Carbon Handle - 21% lighter than aluminum Rose wood handle knob- Classic handle knob design 20 size reel is a 7 BB System

Salmo Hornet Story - Secretive Rise of a New Classic Legend Part 4

S ome lures come, some lures go. This here is part 4 of the Salmo Hornet story. For part 3, do checkout last monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s issue. To Related Article

The Beast

The beast in the Hornetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stable is the 9cm behemoth. To use a crankbait of this size that comes with a hefty weight of 36g requires a more specific setup. Crankbaits of this sizes are extremely rare if not impossible to find. They do have a niche in our market and they are for the heavy gamers. Personally, I use my heavy cover rod of around 7ft and beyond, with a 10-25lb line weight rating, or above PE 1-3 rating; for this giant of a lure. My recommendation however is a 12-25lb class or PE 2-4 rating and above rod. 151

Using powerful reels with 40lb braid lines and above is quite necessary not only for working the lure, but also for the targeted fishes that the said lure is used for. The main quarry for this lure are usually huge predators, or predators with a huge appetite such as the infamous black bass and ferocious toman (giant snakehead).

It would be useful tool against any big game fishes like large groupers, arapaimas, redtail catfishes, huge marble gobies, snappers and other giants. Due to its extreme size, jerking this lure could likely cause muscle injury. It is best to just retrieve it in a straight line. The massive vibration is good enough to alert any fishes nearby and could cause a temporary Parkinson sort of an after effect. Long distance casting is not a problem for this giant of a lure. However, I usually refrain from doing so because cranking it back is really a pain. My recommendation is to pick your target well and make full use of this giant Hornetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capabilities for the catch of your dreams. 153

Besides being proven to be successful in my hunt for tomans (giant snakeheads) in the wild, it has captured a number of redtail catfishes in stocked lakes. The fact that it is designed for catfish, it has tamed many huge wels catfish before. My dream is to one day use it against my top dream fish; the yet to be caught, mighty tapah (Wallago attu).

Secret unlocked

Salmoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unique lip construction allows for some fancy attachments; something that I discovered recently. As the wire through construction of the Hornet is not glued nor covered by the bib, it moves freely presenting a gap within the bib and the wire allowing the ever creative angler to attach a plethora of attachments to improve the lureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s functionality and applications. The potential for creative modifications is limitless. One of my earliest basic attachments is the addition of a weighted swivel to improve the Hornetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s diving depth (see figure 1). It works wonderfully well. It is like using a lead spreader, particularly popular in western lure trolling concept, except that this attachment is much faster and is far less of a hassle; without the need to tie a spreader rig. Just clip it on and you are good to go. 155

A side note for this attachment is it works particularly well for floating versions of the Hornet only. The attached sinker would sink the Hornet to the bottom when left unattended with the Hornet floating just above the sinker, without getting snagged. Wonderful! Excited by this discovery, I made another attachment that is the to add a rolling spinner to the Hornet (see figure 2). This increases the flashiness of the Salmo Hornet which is fantastic for snakeheads as well as groupers.

The Legend

Being a thoroughly thought out full range series of lures, with interesting variations, mind boggling color choices, extreme durability and reliability, simplicity, and not to mention versatility; these lures are just simply amazing. The Salmo Hornet is truly a fitting lure to be the next legend. Do give the Hornets a try on your next fishing trip. Contents Page

Byblos Cafe & Lounge

ood food, good view, and good ambience; that is what Byblos Cafe and Lounge is about. Byblos is the oldest most ancient city in Lebanon (7000 to 8000BC) and is steeped in history. It is from history and culture that the food in Byblos is based on. Byblos serves up authentic Mediterranean and Lebanese cuisine but with a new spin.

Comfortable With A Good View

The interior is well decorated with a comfortable and lovely Lebanese feel. It has pictures of the actual city of Byblos on its walls. One can opt to sit outdoors with a lovely view of the Royal Selangor Golf Club. The view is simply splendid.

159

Good Food Great Taste

With over two decades of cooking the food served here taste great. I especially like the tabbouleh of which is a Lebanese vegetarian dish made of chopped tomatoes, parsley, onions, mint leaves, etc. and seasoned with olive oils, lemon juice, etc. Note that I am not a big fan of vegetables but I love this dish. 161

There are lovely dips and perhaps spreads to enjoy with pita bread an they are the smooth and tasty hummus of which is made from cooked chickpeas blended with tahini, olive oil, etc. and moutabal, a roasted eggplant dip. They taste simply lovely.

Favourite Amongst Them

My personal favourite amongst the food served is the mixed grill (I love meat), a mixture of beef tenderloin cubes, marinated chicken breast, and minced lamb served with hummus, very tasty garlic sauce, tomatoes, pickles, etc. I especially loved the minced lamb.

163

Wrapping the minced lamb in pita bread together with the hummus dip and tabbouleh creates an explosion of flavours in the mouth. It is simply delicious. Writing about it now makes my mouth water.

Sweet Deserts

If you love sweet deserts you will love the deserts served here. The layali loubnan, chocolate custard, and mouhalabieh are tasty sweet deserts. They make a good ending to a lovely dining experience. >A sweet almond cake. 165

Should you want to give Mediterranean and Lebanese cuisine a try, do visit Byblos. There are a lot more on their menu to choose from and I will certainly be back for more tasty meals. Operation Hours:-Sunday – Thursday: 11am – 3am Friday & Saturday: 11am – 5am

Eat And Repeat Shah Alam

alaysia is certainly a food haven. With a diverse mix of cultures comes a mixture of cooking styles and yummy dishes. To taste them all one will have to spend many days eating and one of the side effects will be the need to buy new clothes perhaps a size bigger.

Well, worry not. Eat And Repeat Cafe offers small portions of various dishes so that one can taste them all without the side effects. Amongst all the lovely dishes offered the ones I really like are nasi lemak, minced chicken rice, and mango with glutinous rice and coconut milk. >Tasty fried chicken. 171

Nasi Lemak Fragrant Rice

Nasi lemak is a dish where the rice is cooked with coconut milk and pandan leaves, served with sambal (chilli paste), anchovies, eggs, and cucumber slices. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the basic serving, the kind I used to eat in school. The nasi lemak here reminds me of the oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s I used to eat at school. I love it.

Minced Chicken Rice

This dish is simply minced chicken meat cooked with sweet sambal (sweet chilli paste), served with white rice, and egg. The chicken together with the sweet chilli paste is really tasty. The eggs sort of neutralizes the saltiness of the dish.

173

Mango Glutinous Rice With Coconut Milk

This sweet desert originates from Thailand. The mango glutinous rice with coconut milk is a sweet and sticky desert served fragrant mango. Fusing sweet, salty, milky, and fragrant (mango) makes this desert a super yummy one especially for those with a sweet tooth.

Other Yummies

There are a few other yummy dishes such as fried chicken wings that are really yummy, various soupy and curry noodle dishes, and deserts. Dishes here are priced at RM1.90 (USD $0.45) per serving.
