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 one’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 one’s face and reduces one’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

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

Abu 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. 

11

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).

13 

Modern Japanese Design 

The Beretta comes with carbon wraps, darker purple rings 

and windings; giving them a more rock n’ 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).

15 

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.

17 

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).

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.

19 

Field Test 


Reel: Abu Garcia Revo MGX 



Leader: Berkley Vanish 


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 Beretta’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.

21

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 


Testing Grounds: Natural Exotic Pond 

Series: Pop GT 

Model: PGT 702S 

Length: 7’ 

Lure Wt.: 100-180g 

Line Wt.: PE 3-5 

Configuration: 2 pieces Offset (butt joint) 

Opponents: Amazon Redtail Catfish

The 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 

we’ve got it, why not mess around with it. Why not indeed. 

Out to the battlefields it went but first, the looks. 

27

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...

29 

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).

31 

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 user’s 

hands. It fits well in mine, somewhat like a glove.

33

Field Test 


Reel: Penn Clash 3000 



Leader: Berkley Vanish 


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.

35 

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 wasn’t fun anymore. 

Time to put away the canon and bring out a gun.

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 


Brand: Penn 

Series: Clahs 

Model: CLA6000 

Testing Grounds: Rompin 

Opponents: Sailfish

When 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 Sade’s smooth operator. If you 

don’t know Sade, I envy your youth. 

41

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.

43 

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.

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 Clash’s faith is sealed. It is the modern 

powerhouse in Penn’s stable, the latest slayer of the seas.

45 

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? Wouldn’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 won’t feel it. Furthermore sealed bearings 

offer better protection against the elements something important 

especially for saltwater reels.

47 

Off To Battle

Model: Ugly Stik Tiger Lite BWSJL220060 

Power: Extra Heavy 

Line Wt.: 80-130lb

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.

49 

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.

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 one’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 

Jig 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.

55 

What’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.

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.

57 

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 wasn’t enough. We kept them drowned 

for 24 hours.

59 

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 one’s 

fingernails. We decided to use a spoon as they have a 

smoother surface.

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 

61

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 

here’s another one to consider.

Minnows Inc King Frog 

The Minnows Inc King Frog lure is a hard plastic lure or solid lure 

that comes with a CNC body shape design. They come with a rubber 

skirt that is easily changeable, two soft rubber peddle type legs, 

and a free swimming Owner super strong double hook.

65 

Strong Construction 

The King Frog is built using high density moulded one 

piece PU body that is tough and it has a stainless steel 

wire that runs through the body of the frog called the Full 

Contact System (FCS). The body is painted with good 

quality paint resembling natural colours of various frogs.

Within The Body 

Inside the body are glass rattle inserts that creates noise 

when the frog is twitched or retrieved in the water, attracting 

fishes nearby to investigate and attack. It also comes 

with a weight system that makes it sit the right way up 

simulating a real frog on water.

Minnows Inc Beito Original 

Minnows 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 “Full Connect System” (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.

69 

The Beito Original is ideal for blue 

water casting or slow trolling targeting 

pelagic fishes such as 

Mackerel, Trevally, Tuna, Queenfish, 

etc.

Team Penn Conflict 

Royal Pahang Billfish International Challenge 

2015 Experience 

Personally 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.

71 

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.

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.

73 

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 

tomorrow’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.

Preparing The Assault 

The night was spent tying lines and hooks, ensuring that our 

fishing arsenals are ready for the next day’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.

75 

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.

77 

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 wasn’t long when we were 

on to our first sail.

79 

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.

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 didn’t waste any time 

at all. Understanding that 

time is of the essence, he 

whipped out his camera 

and fired a few shots.

81 

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.

83

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.

85 

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.

87 

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.

89 

We’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!

91 

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 year’s sponsors are Pure Fishing Malaysia, TCE Tackle, 

Sang Lin Tackle, Mustad, The Season Tackle, And Lanjut 

Resort Hotel.

93 

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.

95 

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 

When 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?

105 

What Are Trailers? 

I don’t mean the section with many wheel attached to a lorry’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.

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.

107 

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.

Worms 

Soft plastic worms are amongst some of the most commonly used 

trailers. They give a wriggly action at the back of the spoon.

109 

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.

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.

111 

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).

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.

113 

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 don’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.

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.

115 

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 one’s adventure, right?

Knowledge Wise 

Philemon Foo 

Fish Don’t Feel Pain, Says 

Scientists 

I 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.

117 

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.

Why Fish Can’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.

119 

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.

Junior Anglers 

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 

Greetings 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.

129 

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.

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.

137 

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.

UV ANGLER BUFF 

UV Buff® is the Original Buff® headwear made to be used during 

the hottest months. Thanks to its special Coolmax® Extreme fabric, 

UV Buff® evaporates perspiration quickly allowing moisture to pass 

through while offering 95% protection from UV rays. It is the perfect 

garment for practicing any outdoor activity under the sun. 

Features 

Uses Coolmax material. 

– A special four-channel fibre forms a transport system that pulls 

moisture away from the skin to the outer layer of the fabric. It then 

dries that moisture faster than any other fabric and thermoregulate 

the body. 

Ultraviolet radiation, or UV, is present in sunlight. Sunburn is a sign 

that your skin has received too much UV. Overexposure to UV over 

many years can cause more serious health problems such as skin 

cancer or cataracts. Garments that are sensibly designed for sun 

protection like this one reduce your UV exposure.

Fun Things 


How To Bite Your Fishing 

Rod For Pictures 

Photographing 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.

145 

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.

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?

147 

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.
