My fellow anglers and friends, Greetings to all. We live in darker hazy days. I have gotten beaten down by the haze twice in two months. It is not easy to stay indoors especially when oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hobby is out there in the open. It is not just me. A few of my angler friends got sick from the haze too. Maybe we should have fished with a mask on. Perhaps but I did not do so as it is something uncomfortable that sits on oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face and reduces oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oxygen intake. This is an issue when battling brutes that turn macho rugby players into cheerleaders. Perhaps fishing distributors can design and manufacture mask for anglers with filters and yet easy on the oxygen intake. I am sure anglers would like them better than the ones currently on sale. As for The Asian Angler magazine, we are constantly changing for the better working with your recommendations and requests. With this also means that we will be breaking away from our initial formats. Worry not as we will do all it takes to remain free. Thank you and happy fishing.

Cheers, Phil Editor In Chief

Abu Garcia’s New Hornet Test Information Testing Grounds: Natural Exotic Pond Series: Hornet Beretta Model: AHBC632MA Length: 6’3” Lure Wt.: 1/6 - 3/4oz. Line Wt.: 8-17lb Configuration: 2 pieces Opponents: Amazon Redtail Catfish & Asian Redtail Catfish

bu Garcia Hornet rods have been around for quite a while. In fact they were to some of the lucky few who have owned them or used them before, a favourite. One of my personal favourites is the Hornet Stinger that feels very much like a quality Japanese rod but at a fraction of the price.

The Hornet Beretta

The new Hornet comes in the form of the Beretta, a modernised version of previous Hornets with more current and bolder design cues. The Hornet Beretta may not have a firing pin, springs, a locking block, or a barrel capable of shooting a bullet through; but it does have a trigger (at least on casting models).

Modern Japanese Design

The Beretta comes with carbon wraps, darker purple rings and windings; giving them a more rock nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; roll persona found normally on Japanese designed rods that adopt more extreme design cues. Such designs may not sit well with everyone but personally, I love the looks.

Stiffer Blank

The Beretta comes with 30 Ton graphite blanks enhanced with Nanotechnology which makes it more durable. That said, I am uncertain where the nano coat is applied as I believe that it is not applied on the entire length of the blank. My guess will be the butt section (rubber end cap to brand section).

Nano Coating

The thing about nano coating is that they not only strengthen an area, they stiffen it too giving it a steel like feel. I have seen how a plastic drinking straw the kind you find at Starbucks and Chatime (a bubble tea franchise) become as stiff as a steel rod (but much lighter) with just a coat of Nano coat.

Quality Components

Being at this level the Beretta must come equipped with good quality components to fit bill and it does. The Beretta comes with Fuji guides and Fuji reel seats, both of which have proven themselves over the years.

Balancing Act

When it comes to balance, the Beretta is well balanced. It is tip heavy without a reel on. Put on a reel at it balances out pretty well. Being well balanced gives the Beretta a lighter feel as well especially when the rod is held horizontally (actual weight of tested model is 138g). 17

Lab Test

Equipment Used

Reel: Abu Garcia Revo Elite 7 Line: Berkley Fireline Braid Poundage: 20lb

Back at our lab the Beretta was put to the test to see if it will meet its specs. The Beretta AHBC632MA is said to be able to manage up to 17lb at the rear end (butt section) and thus we put it up to our test meter. With some effort we got it to 17.4lb and decided to not push further due to the acoustics heard.

Field Test

Equipment Used

Reel: Abu Garcia Revo MGX Line: Berkley Fireline Braid Poundage: 30lb Leader: Berkley Vanish Poundage: 40lb Opponents: Amazon Redtail Catfish

Casting Abilities When it comes to casting the Beretta does this well sending our baits flying to good distances with relative ease. Casting accuracy is also quite good as the Berettaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tip does not wobble much and the feel of line and bait is quite constant during the cast.

Fish Management

The Beretta is blessed with a strong backbone of up to about 65% of the blank. When it comes down to the battle, the Beretta has loads of power with the ability to turn the brutes away from structures. We landed a few very good size brutes (Amazon Redtail catfish and Asian Redtail catfish) with relative ease.

Verdict

Not as lightweight as the earlier Hornet Stingers, the Hornet Beretta is still a lightweight rod and is built tougher, with a stiffer blank. It is well designed and handles hard fighting fishes well. It comes with good quality components allowing for more confident fishing. In short, a well made good rod.

Ajiking Pop GT

Test Information Testing Grounds: Natural Exotic Pond Series: Pop GT Model: PGT 702S Length: 7â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Lure Wt.: 100-180g Line Wt.: PE 3-5 Configuration: 2 pieces Offset (butt joint) Opponents: Amazon Redtail Catfish

he Pop GT rod is a popping rod that has been around for a good while and we were presented with one during the recently held Royal Pahang Billfish International Challenge 2015 as part of our prize. Since weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got it, why not mess around with it. Why not indeed. Out to the battlefields it went but first, the looks.

Unassuming Design

The Pop GT rod is designed very modestly. It comes mainly in black, with pearl white coloured brand and spec section. Its thread winding are black with gold linings. That is it. No carbon wraps and flashy installs except for the aluminium winding check and gimbal (with rubber cap). On the self, one could be assuming the unassuming...

Configuration

The Pop GT comes in a two piece offset configuration of which is good. One piece rods provides for a good more constant power curve, while two piece rods makes for convenient transportation. To have the best of both worlds an offset configuration works well.

Blank Wise

The Pop GT comes with a graphite blank with good backbone power that stretches to about 65 percent of the blank. It does have a tip that flexes well enough to help cast out poppers, and in our case, live bait fish (palm size).

Components

Components are very important and the Pop GT comes with quality components. It comes fitted with Fuji guides, the kind that disseminates heat well, and Fuji reel seat that holds the reel securely in place especially during the fight.

Quality Grip

The grip on the Pop GT is made of high quality EVA contoured in a such a way allowing for a good and comfortable grip for both casting and when in battle with a fish. Needless to say, how well and comfortable the EVA is depend very much on the size of the userâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hands. It fits well in mine, somewhat like a glove.

Field Test

Equipment Used

Reel: Penn Clash 3000 Line: Berkley Fireline Braid Poundage: 30lb Leader: Berkley Vanish Poundage: 40lb

We took the Pop GT to our usual playground aka battlefield in Rawang called the Natural Exotic Pond. This pond is home to a variety of brutes such as the Mekong catfish (Plabuk in Thai), gar fish, Amazonian Redtail catfish, Asian Redtail catfish, etc. We cast out our palm size live baits on a rod that is made to cast out heavier poppers. Needless to say that the casting experience is nothing to shout about. But, before long we were in battle with a brute. I had the drag set up high wanting a tug-o-war experience, and if something did break... yeeehaaaw! it is still worth it, since the snags (pillars) were nearby.

Battle Management

Being locked in a tug-o-war with a brute can be both fun and tiring. However, the Pop GT had power to leverage the battle over to me (like taking a canon to a gun fight). No tiredness, no worries, and before long the brute was up for a photo shoot, which tire me out more than the fight. 4 more brutes later and it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fun anymore. Time to put away the canon and bring out a gun. 35

Verdict

While Ajiking may not be as huge a brand as Shimano, Daiwa, Penn, Abu Garcia, etc. they do have good products in their stable of which are often given a miss by the brand conscious. The Pop GT may not be the best rod in its class but it certainly is a pretty good rod to mess with.

The Clash Of The Titans Penn Clash Reel In Action

Test Information Brand: Penn Series: Clahs Model: CLA6000 Testing Grounds: Rompin Opponents: Sailfish

hen it comes to saltwater big game fishing, Penn has been a household brand. Recently Penn released the ICast 2015 New Product Showcase winner; the Clash, a tough a powerful spinning reel that looks tough yet stylish, feels tough like a tank yet not heavy, and operates smoother than Sadeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s smooth operator. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know Sade, I envy your youth.

Full Metal Body

Full metal body, the kind of reel that saltwater anglers like as they are structurally more rigid and are tougher. Hence the Clash too wears such an armour giving the angler confidence when locked in a battle with a brute out at sea.

Good Looker

The clash does not look like an unshaved gladiator coming out of the pits, looking dirty, angry, and ready to kill. No, the Clash is certainly a few classes away from it. In fact, it comes with handsome carbon fibre inserts in a few places such as the spool and drag knob, gold lining on black in general, and to reduce weight; cut outs in places that makes the Clash look sexy. 43

Signs Of Power

The feel alone will speak volumes of the power that is stored in the Clash. Of course feeling alone is half the battle won. Looks is play a part too. With Over sized EVA handle knob and thick heavy duty aluminium, the Clashâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s faith is sealed. It is the modern powerhouse in Pennâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stable, the latest slayer of the seas.

Smooth Operator

The Clash comes with smooth rotating Dura-Gear Technology giving it smooth rotations with a connected feel. The 9 sealed bearings inside helps too of course. Why sealed bearings? I was recently asked this question by an angler? Wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the seal add weight?

Sealed Bearings

For those who want to know, yes it does. But the weight gain is so minute that you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel it. Furthermore sealed bearings offer better protection against the elements something important especially for saltwater reels.

Equipment Used

Battling The Titans

Just last month (September 2015) we took the Clash off to battle with the sailfishes of Rompin (a coastal town on the east coast of the Malaysian Peninsular). We participated in the Royal Pahang Billfish International Challenge. Being in such a competitive environment, our weapons had to be tough and able to take the constant torture.

Smooth Drag

The drag had to be smooth and tough enough as the sailfish is the fastest fish in the sea. When the sailfish took the bait, the Clash screamed and the battle ensued. With drag locked pretty much quite close to maximum (to land the fish as fast as possible) most reels would have given up. The Clash went on and on landing sailfish after sailfish. 49

After Effects

While the anglers felt wearied down by the end of the day having fought many a battle, the Clash remained unscathed. It still operated smoothly and performed well. All it needed was a wash down and its ready for more battles.

The Penn Clash is certainly a good reel to have at oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s side when one braves the seas to do battle with some of the brutes that lie beneath. It certainly took the onslaught of torture during our use and is not sitting on a table somewhere asking for more.

Z Craft 0 Degree And 30 Degree Jig Heads

ig heads, something every soft bait angler needs. The Z Craft 0 Degree and 30 Degree jig heads have recently hit our shores. These versatile jig heads come with a conically designed head of different lengths depending on the models. The 30 Degree has a shorter head as compared to the 0 Degree.

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s With The Degree

Degree being used to differentiate the models simply tell how the jig head sits (or rather) stands in the water. The Zero Degree allows the soft bait to sit flat at the bottom mimicking a resting fish or worm. Certain fishes tend to sit at the bottom of lakes or seas in a horizontal position while resting. The 30 Degree allows the soft bait to stand at a 30 degree angle underwater mimicking a feeding fish or worm. Most bottom feeders search for food this way. Should you keep bottom feeding fishes in a aquarium you will notice this behaviour. 55

Quality Hooks

These Z Craft jig heads come with good quality saltwater grade hooks that are available in X2 and X3 (2 times stronger or 3 times stronger). Having strong hooks is certainly a benefit especially when fishing saltwater predators.

X-Flex Locker

One issue normally faced by soft bait anglers is bait slippage. This is where the soft bait slips out of position and becomes unattractive with bad action. The X-Flex Locker prevents this from happening allowing soft baits to be held securely in place.

Saltwater Test

Being classified as saltwater grade jig heads we just had to drown them in saltwater to see if they can handle corrosive qualities well. So we drowned them in a bottle of saltwater. That wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough. We kept them drowned for 24 hours.

Sharpness Test

Before drowning them we checked to see how sharp they were and they are indeed sharp easily catching onto the plastic spoon. Why a plastic spoon you may ask. Well, the norm is to test hooks running them through oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fingernails. We decided to use a spoon as they have a smoother surface. 59

24 Hours Later

After slightly over 24 hours we drained the bottle of saltwater and inspected both jig heads. We found no signs of rust on them. Next we put them through the sharpness test again with the plastic spoon. They remained sharp.

Sharpness Test 2

Verdict

I have yet to use them as of now (time of writing), but have tested them in the lab. They took the saltwater test and did not rust. They still remained sharp. They are good jig heads. Should you be in the market for jig heads hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s another one to consider.

Minnows Inc Beito Original

innows Inc Beito Original ultra fast minnow lures is an extremely versatile lure that can be in many ways. The Beito Original features a special weight transfer system and an aerodynamic design that allows for very good casting distances.

Weight Transfer System

The weight transfer system also gives the Beito Original a live like swim action during the retrieve and superb stability attracting nearby predators to attack. Using a system called the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Full Connect Systemâ&#x20AC;? (FCS) the Beito Original uses a wire through lure system. This means that should the a strong toothy predator take and break the lure, chances are you will still land it.

Team Penn Conflict

Royal Pahang Billfish International Challenge 2015 Experience

ersonally I have never liked taking part in fishing competitions. Fishing has been a way to relax and forget about work, and not something to be stressed with. Well, since fishing has for a long time become work and stress has been a part of work, this year I decided to compete in one. I signed up for the Royal Pahang Billfish International Challenge.

The Challenge

The Royal Pahang Billfish International Challenge is an a fishing competition held in Rompin (east coast of the Malaysian peninsular) targeting any fish with a bill. In this waters they are the marlins and the sailfishes. Simply put, the team with the highest score wins. A sailfish earns the team 600 points and a marlin bring in 1000 points. 71

Team Penn Conflict

With each team made up of 3 anglers and the boat captain, my team is made up of Kay, Daniel, and me (Phil), not forgetting Ah Pau our boat captain. We are Team Penn Conflict fishing under the Penn brand with Penn being our main sponsor and Buff our sponsor of gloves and multifunctional head wear. None of us have competed in fishing competitions let alone this event. Daniel has never even caught a sailfish before. Still we wanted to win.

Scouting The Sea

A day before the event we headed out to sea in search of billfishes and to plan our strategy. Our superb captain worked hard in hunting down the billfishes taking a mental note of tomorrowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game plan and giving us pointers on what to expect. We wandered about the seas all the way to Pulau Berhala (Berhala Island) and back, spending the entire day just scouting. This is the first time in my life of fishing that no lines were in the water despite seeing sailfish all over. 73

Preparing The Assault

The night was spent tying lines and hooks, ensuring that our fishing arsenals are ready for the next dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assault, and ironing out the finer details of our planed strategy. Our host of weapons are made up of Shakespeare Ugly Stik Tiger Lite Jigging and Penn Snapper rods, accompanied by Penn Spinfisher, Battle II, Conflict, and Clash reels; for the billfish. Abu Garcia Ocean Project and Salty Stage KRX rods for baitfish.

Day 1: Ready For War

We had our breakfast at about 6.30am and like loaded our fishing tackle onto our boat. We then headed to the Lanjut Jetty for the officiating of the event by the VIPs, and to pickup our marshal. For this event we get a different marshal every day of which is good.

Shooting For The Baits

At 9am we were like a bunch of racing boats waiting in line to shoot off. Depending on the number given to each team, our boats were to leave in sequence of these numbers. We waited for our turn. When it came, our captain gunned the engines and we shooting off to our first stop, where baits lie in wait for our little Apollo rigs. We turned from mere humans into one big fishing machine.

Good Fishing

After catching enough baits we shot straight to the areas that were marked the day before and hunted down the groups of sailfishes targeted. We drifted out our live baits and waited for the sails (or marlin) to strike. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t long when we were on to our first sail.

Machine At Work

Like a machine all of us on board were moving rods, managing lines, etc. to ensure that the sailfish is landed fast, safely, gets is photo taken, and released alive. Out tackle played an important part too as the sailfish is known to be the fastest fish in the sea; reels must be smooth and able to take the heat, rods have to be powerful enough to manage the fish, and lines must be able to withstand the torture. 79

Time Is Of The Essence

Our tackle performed very well especially the Penn Spinfisher V Live Liner reel and shortly later the sailfish was at the side of the boat. The marshal on our boat didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t waste any time at all. Understanding that time is of the essence, he whipped out his camera and fired a few shots.

Very Good First Day

The sea was rough and with winds blowing up waves, we were bruising our knees trying to maintain our stance while fighting fish after fish. We did lose a few fishes of which is a common thing but all in all we did have a pretty good first day landing a total of 11 sailfishes.

Day 2 Assault

The fishing time on day two is shorter as all participants had to be report back by 3pm or face disqualification. The marshals from PeMM (Malaysian Fishing Association) headed by James Tye are strict in upholding the rules. Having no time to waste, we picked up our marshal and shot out to our fishing spots starting with the live baits spots.

Slower Fishing Day

The morning started out great. We caught most of the sailfish (for the day) in the morning while the winds were blowing and the waves swaying our boat from left to right. Just past noon the winds died down and the sea became mirror calm. It felt like we were fishing on a mysterious lake (we were surrounded by thick haze).

The Last Call

With the winds and waves gone, the sailfishes have decided to go into hiding. Those that were around seemed to have lost of mood to eat. We continued hunting about the seas stopping to try our luck at different spots until it was time to go. As we were to reel in our lines a sail decided to strike. The battle ensued and not long later the fish was landed photographed and released.

The Worrying “Wrap Up”

We landed 7 sails and that got us quite worried. But there was nothing much we could do but cross our fingers and hope for the best. The boat ride back to the jetty was a fast and silent one. We didn’t know where we stood.

The Close

That night we waited patiently at the Lanjut Golden Beach And Golf Resort for dinner and the prize giving ceremony. The three of us chose a table somewhat a distance from the stage and waited for the other teams also sponsored by Penn to arrive. It was then that James, the head marshal came over and invited us to sit at the winners table.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve Won Something

There were 7 ranking positions (7 winning teams). We sat at the winners table and waited for the prize giving ceremony. We had our dinner, watched a few dancers, watch some singing, and at last the announcement announcing the winners of the event came.

Racing Heart Beats

7th place, Team Lemax Pro Team! A sigh of relieve, followed by I hope it is not us. 6th place Team Gung Ho! from New Zealand! Another sigh of relief. 5th place Team Jin Zun Fishing Club from China! This is where we thought we stood, at number 4. 4th place, Team Stars Of Jade!

Hit In A Good Way

It hit us in a very good way. We are top three. 2nd runner up, Team Penn Conflict! We came in 3rd. We gave each other a hug and went on stage to collect our trophy and prizes. Team Gawas came in 2nd, and the champions, Team Xzoga.

About The Event

The Royal Pahang Billfish International Challenge is an annual event that is jointly organized by the state government, Tioman Development Authority Culture Malaysia, together with the Malaysian Angling Association (PeMM). This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sponsors are Pure Fishing Malaysia, TCE Tackle, Sang Lin Tackle, Mustad, The Season Tackle, And Lanjut Resort Hotel.

Hats Off

Hats off to the very hard working team, PeMM, and James the head marshal. A job done well indeed. We wish a very hearty congratulations to all winners of the event. Thank you to all who sponsored the event. Also a big thank you to our sponsors, Penn and Buff (Corezone Malaysia).

Finale

The event was indeed a stressful one as we worked our butts off to win. We were so focused on winning that we forgot to eat on the boat. Our boat captain had to remind us to eat. Our fishing tackle did well. We did have equipment failure thus the importance to have lots of backup tackle on the boat.

Good Tackle

That said, the best performing reel we had during this event was the Penn Spinfisher Live Liner. They are smooth and the Live Liner function is superb for this sort of fishing. Another reel that did very well is the Penn Clash. Its smooth and tough. Just that it does not have the Live Liner function. These are fantastic reels for such torturous fishing situations.

Lessons Learnt

There are a few things that I have learnt. Amongst the more important once are: 1. Ensure all tackle are in very good condition. If unsure, leave them behind and buy new ones. 2. Bring more tackle than you think you need. Includes rods, reels, lines, lures, rigs, etc. 3. Tackle use for leisure fishing and competition fishing are not the same. You cannot afford some slack. 4. Over practise and be overly prepared.

Fishing With Spoons Part 9 Trailers

hen it comes to fishing, there seldom is a perfect situation. Sometimes all your experiences learnt from the same fishing hole over the years seems to be of no use. Some say that the fishes have learnt (which is true). Some say the fishes have decided to rebel and take the day off. In situations like this, sometimes all it take is a little change. Why not add trailers into the mix?

What Are Trailers?

I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean the section with many wheel attached to a lorryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s behind. In this terms trailers are things like soft plastics that are attached to the spoons. Like a lorry being attached to a trailer, the spoon plays the role of the lorry and the soft bait take the role of the trailer. Easy. 105

Commonly Used Trailers

There are a number of things that can be used as trailers. They all have the same objective and that is to add to the visual effects of spoons, spinners, or jigs used and thus triggering a bite. These here are a few common ones.

Cut Strips

Cut strips are one of my favourite trailers. They are any strips of soft baits (what I use) that come in a flat piece and can be cut to strips. The ones that I used are scented by Berkley.

There are anglers who use strips of meat too as trailers. For saltwater fishing one can use fish strips, squid, etc. *Pictures courtesy of Pure Fishing Japan.

107

Worms

Soft plastic worms are amongst some of the most commonly used trailers. They give a wriggly action at the back of the spoon.

Soft Plastic Fish

Another commonly used trailer are soft plastic fishes such as minnows with t tails or paddle tails. The wriggly swimming tail action is enticing to a hungry fish. I have used them with good success.

109

Grubs

Soft plastic Grubs make good trailers too. Like the soft plastic fish trailers, the tail of the grub dances an exotic dance and is enticing to fishes. I have used them with good success too.

Tubes

Tubes are commonly used trailers. These rubber baits look like squid, having a few tentacles (appendages) that wriggle about giving a visual display that is enticing. Another benefit of tubes is that they are usually hollow and can be used to hold scent (scent capsule).

111

Skirts

Rubber skirts are usually used on spinners and they have for a long time proved their effectiveness. Rubber Skirts can be added to spoons too either directly or with the trailer used adding to the visual effect of your spoons.

Why Do They Work?

Spoons are successful lures for a few reason. They give out shine, create turbulence, create vibrations, create bubble trails, etc. All these qualities attract fishes. But there are times when they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work for whatever reason.

Soft plastics on the other hand are successful because they look like the real thing, are soft when bitten, and they can be scented effectively. However, they do not give much shine (comparing to spoons) of which is a fish attracting factor, and weighing the balance between weight, swim action, drop rate, and casting distances can be difficult sometimes.

113

Visual Effects

By putting them both together we get the visual effects of both spoon and soft baits in action providing for a stronger effect with the added benefits of scent, a more controlled fall, an effective balance of casting distance, drop rate, and swim action.

To Conclude

Adding trailers to spoon is nothing new. It has been used for many years in many countries for a variety of fishes. There are even spoons manufactured with trailers attached. Do give them a try when all else fails. Better to have more options during oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s adventure, right?

Fish Don’t Feel Pain, Says Scientists

have been in a few friendly debates on why I chose a sport such as fishing. I have been accused of hurting fishes just for sport and a photograph of which my normal reply is fish don’t feel pain (I’ve read somewhere years ago). I am then asked how I know and if I have interviewed a fish. This goes on and on.

Scientifically Proven

Jim Rose, professor of zoology and physiology at the University of Wisconsin, who led the project, did an experiment by inserting needles into the jaws of rainbow trout and injecting them with large doses of acid or bee venom, of which will cause severe pain to humans, did not affect the trout much. They resumed their normal activities within minutes. The same is seen after being caught and released back into the water. 117

Why Fish Canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Feel Pain

Unlike humans, it is said that fish do not have a brain system or enough sensory receptors in the nerve cells to experience suffering or pain. They will struggle to get free of which is a reaction to being caught, but without the feeling of pain or suffer.

Fish Happy

Well, instead of telling these friends who shoot down our sport for hurting fishes to stop eating fishes, or telling them (if they are vegetarians) to stop robbing the poor animals of food by eating their food; we can now tell them that it has been scientifically proven that fishes do not feel pain. Not sure about whales, dolphins, and sharks though. 119

Get Your Kids Fishing An Initiative By The Asian Angler Magazine

Fishing is a very healthy sport.

As anglers we enjoy fresh air, we experience nature, we improve our analytical skills, we absorb vitamins from the sun, we expend our minds, we learn about the environment, etc. There are so many benefits to fishing and we should reduce our kids addiction to video games, computer games, playing with mobile devices, etc. We should get them to interact more with our environment and teach them a thing or two about life and living life. With this in mind we hope to encourage you to take your kid(s) fishing and have dedicated a section of our magazine to Junior Anglers.

Soft Plastic Fun

reetings everyone!

Recently I was lucky to be able to fish with the new Abu Garcia Tournament K. It is a beautiful rod built for anglers chasing their dream fish in any area be it open water or even heavy cover. This rod is perfect for executing long casts, fishing big baits and I even could fish micro lures and soft plastics with it.

By Amirul Irfan

FI also had the chance to fish the Berkley Powerbait Saltwater Slinky Shad. Being a fan of swimbaits, the Slinky Shad made me drool at first sight. The Slinky Shad is a durable bait and it floats. So far I have had no problems with the Slinky Shad getting torn up despite vicious hits from large snakeheads. 129

I fish the Slinky Shad weightless with a Mustad 3/0 EWG Hook. The natural profile and swimming action is great for triggering bites during tough fishing sessions. Despite being designed for saltwater applications, the scent and action of the Slinky Shad also works for freshwater fish.

The head of the Slinky Shad is hollow which makes it easy to rig and it will also slide up the line and swivel when a fish thrashes around. I was able to catch many fish on just one Slinky Shad. A large snakehead gulped the Slinky Shad when I just left it to float around a grassy area, but the fish managed to escape halfway through the fight. 131

Even small snakeheads will come out of weeds to have a bite on the Slinky Shad. I saw this snakehead (and countless others) trail behind the Slinky Shad to have a bite. I had no problem to set the hook with the Surecatch D-Legend.

2 decent Striped Snakeheads on the Slinky Shad and Zman MinnowZ. The water level in the pond went up around 1 foot above weeds because of rains the night before. Watching big snakeheads swimming in 1 foot of water to have breakfast is an amazing sight. Matching the hatch was the key to score a few fish at the time. 133

Another morning swimbait fish. I caught this feisty snakehead on an Owner swimbait I received from Mr.Ginson 2 months ago. The snakehead posed for a photoshoot on some hydrilla alongside the Surecatch D-Legend.

Another snakehead scored on the Owner swimbait. The barbless hook made it easy to unhook and release the fish. The Abu Garcia Tournament K made hook setting no problem. I just gave a little force and the fish was hooked solid. I like to fish soft plastic swimbaits on the surface like buzzbaits because their tails will produce a buzzing sound with bubbles. 135

Another juvenile on the Owner swimbait just 10 minutes after releasing the previous snakehead. This snakehead was also hooked solidly at the same spot. Could this snakehead be twins with the previous snakehead? Soft plastics are effective and fun. Do give them a try. I hope everyone will stay safe especially during the haze phenomena now.

Tight lines & happy 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... Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget some bait. Happy Fishing.

How To Bite Your Fishing Rod For Pictures

hotographing your catch is something a lot of anglers participate in. Many an angler like to show off what equipment was used to catch the fish with. There are many ways to showcase these equipment in photographs that include both fish and angler as well.

Rod In Mouth Style

One of the commonly used style is the rod in mouth style where the angler bites the rod that is placed in his or her mouth while holding the fish in both hands and posing for the camera. Here the angler will have to balance both the fish and the rod in mouth with the reel weighing down towards one side. 145

Blank Or Grip?

If this is your chosen style of picture posing, should you bite the EVA or cork handle since it is softer, tastier, and will not damage as easily, or would you rather bite a solid part of the blank be it fibreglass or carbon graphite?

Bacteria Nation

My personal recommendation will be to bite the blank staying away from the grip whatever the material. The reason is that EVA, cork, etc. grips soak up all sorts of things from fish slime to bacteria, sweat for scary places to many other contaminants, thus giving them taste. The blank however does not soak up anything although it certainly contains dirt and bacteria but the levels are lower. 147
