My fellow anglers and friends,<br />

So what’s new? Well, we tested a few lures; the OC Craft Code and Classic<br />
Bluewater Lures with good success. We’ve also played with some new reels,<br />
rods, bags, etc. and in this issue we share with you the good stuffs and left out<br />
those that didn’t make the cut.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are also new product launches by Pflueger and ZCraft Muso Jigs. Pflueger<br />
recently launched the all new Pflueger Supreme XT reel of which looks<br />
good and feels good too. As for the ZCraft Muso Jigs, we will be putting them<br />
through the test soon. Keep an eye out for our test drive report.<br />

Abu Garcia Veracity Pro<br />
Part 1<br />
Series: Veracity Pro<br />
Model: VERPC 602 MH A<br />
Length: 6’<br />
Lure Wt.: 1/4-1oz.<br />
Line Wt.: 10-20lb<br />
Configuration: 2 pieces<br />
So, you want to drive through the woods fast and get<br />
to your friends at you secret fishing hole somewhere in<br />
the forest. Forget the pickup truck. A horse would have<br />
done better. Take the rally ready Volkswagen Golf GTi<br />
instead. Oh... ok. My bad. This is not a car magazine.
11<br />
30 Ton Graphite<br />
What I am getting at is this; while it may be fine<br />
and dandy to bring the old favourite tough looking,<br />
thick, muscular, but floppy fibreglass rod to battle<br />
the 10kg plus giant snakeheads (toman), a 30 ton<br />
carbon graphite rod will do much better as it is stiffer<br />
with better rebound power. One of them is the<br />
Abu Garcia Veracity Pro.
Sinister In Red<br />
<strong>The</strong> Veracity Pro comes in red. Not just any normal<br />
kind of red. It comes in blood red. It looks like a long<br />
vial of blood, perhaps making in the perfect rod for<br />
vampires. For those of you who faint at the sight of<br />
blood, this rod may very well be your kryptonite.
13<br />
American Design<br />
Jokes aside, the Veracity Pro looks good. Not to<br />
flashy. Not too much bling. Just nice in my opinion.<br />
It comes with good quality EVA grips, black metal<br />
(not a music genre) butt end cap, blood red painted<br />
reel seat, with black and silver thread windings.
Quality Components<br />
Completing the package are high quality components<br />
from Fuji. <strong>The</strong>y include Fuji’s tangle free guide<br />
system of which allows for better casting distances<br />
and provides less friction between line and guides<br />
thus reducing line wear.
15<br />
Fuji Reel Seat<br />
Another important component is the reel seat. <strong>The</strong><br />
Veracity Pro comes fitted with Fuji reel seat that<br />
holds the reel securely in place. If you have encountered<br />
reels going loose mid way through a fight with<br />
a big fish you will understand the need for a high<br />
quality reel seat.
Lab Test<br />
Reel: Abu Garcia Revo STX<br />
Line: Berkley Fireline<br />
Poundage: 20lb<br />
Leader: Berkley Trilene Big Game 40lb<br />
Back at our lab we put the Veracity Pro through the<br />
pressure test with 20lb being the target. Securing<br />
the line to an anchor, we pulled the rod backwards<br />
keeping the angle at about 45 degrees, tightening<br />
the drag, reeling in line, and pulling again until we<br />
thing got scary. <strong>The</strong> rod touched 20.7lb.
17<br />
Test Thus Far<br />
Thus far the Veracity Pro has proven to hit the marks.<br />
It does come with good quality Fuji components, it<br />
looks sinisterly nice, and it has decent power. However,<br />
we were unable to have it tested in the field for<br />
now. We’ll stay tuned for part 2 in the next issue.

OR Craft Code Lures<br />
When it comes to catching fish, the lure you use and<br />
how you use it is important. You may have good rods,<br />
super smooth reels, tough and almost invisible lines, and<br />
your fish finder is beeping like a cheap broken car alarm;<br />
but without a good lure, your chances of catching any fish<br />
would be really low.
21<br />
Replicating Good Lures<br />
Good lures catch fish and it is no secret that they<br />
get replicated. Makes sense right? Who on earth<br />
would want to replicate a lure that does not catch<br />
fish? Thus comes the OR Craft Code lures. <strong>The</strong> OR<br />
Craft Code lures are a replica of the M Blue Code<br />
lures (or could it be M Blues Code).
Nice Swimmer<br />
With a few Code lures in our hands we decided to<br />
take them swimming at a nearby pond. Using light<br />
tackle we got the code flying out to very good distances.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y cast easy and well. <strong>The</strong>y swim really<br />
well to with a tight wiggle.
23<br />
Would Fish Eat <strong>The</strong>m?<br />
We may like the way it swims but what about the<br />
fish? Twitching them just outside some underwater<br />
weeds did the trick. Pissed of peacock bass had a<br />
field day hitting the Code. Or was it the Code having<br />
a field day taking hits from the peacock bass...<br />
Hmm, whatever. <strong>The</strong> code still won.
Summary<br />
Yes, we all want lures that catch fish and good<br />
branded lures cost a bomb. Well, if you don’t mind<br />
using replicas then the OR Craft Code is a lure to<br />
consider. It swims well. It has proven itself to be a<br />
lure that fishes can’t stand and want to hit. And it is<br />
“pocket safe.”

Classic Bluewater Lures<br />
<strong>The</strong> Classic Bluewater F120 lures were launched<br />
last month here in <strong>Malaysia</strong>. <strong>The</strong>se Australian lures<br />
are made for saltwater fishing being famed straight<br />
swimming high speed trolling lures. Yippee! since it<br />
is a proven saltwater lure we decided to take it out of<br />
its environment.
29<br />
Well Built<br />
<strong>The</strong> Classic Bluewater F120 lures are well built with good<br />
cosmetics. <strong>The</strong> body is heavy walled and they are double<br />
welded together for extra strength. <strong>The</strong>y are fitted with a<br />
one piece through wire frame for better integrity.
Quality Components<br />
<strong>The</strong> Classic Bluewater F120 lures are fitted with 3X strong<br />
Permasteel treble hooks by VMC. <strong>The</strong>se hooks ensure<br />
durability and the much needed strength especially since<br />
it is a saltwater trolling lure of which is targeted to catch<br />
hard fighting fishes. <strong>The</strong>y also come with Superflex HD<br />
Stainless steel split rings.
31<br />
Field Test<br />
Since it was monsoon we decided to test it with freshwater<br />
predators. <strong>The</strong>se lures are made for trolling and<br />
thus they do not score high points for casting. However,<br />
they swim really well holding tight and straight. Yes, they<br />
catch fish too.
Verdict<br />
<strong>The</strong> Classic Bluewater F120 lures are good performers.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y swim fast and tight when trolled. <strong>The</strong>y swim straight<br />
too. Although they are made for saltwater trolling, freshwater<br />
predators take them too.

Abu Garcia Revo Toro<br />
Ever handled a power tool such as drill? A normal<br />
drill can only do so much. For more power a hammer<br />
drill will make the DIY guy drool. <strong>The</strong> Revo Toro<br />
S is more like a jack hammer. What’s the difference<br />
you may ask. Well, drill make holes. Jack hammers<br />
demolishes surfaces.
35<br />
Pearly White<br />
<strong>The</strong> Revo Toro S could very well get featured in Star<br />
Wars. It looks like a reel the Storm Troopers would use. It<br />
comes with pearly white side plates and black, well, everything<br />
else. It is larger than your average bait casting<br />
reel and when it sits on your hands, it looks somewhat<br />
like a big robotic frog (meant in a nice way).
Power House<br />
It may look cute (hence the big robotic frog statement).<br />
When you turn the handle it feels smooth.<br />
But when you put it into battle mode, the jack hammer<br />
sleeping inside comes to life and you feel like<br />
you’re riding one heck of a bull. <strong>The</strong> drag is powerful.<br />
Abu Garcia claims 25lb.
37<br />
Why Such A Reel?<br />
Low profile reels do have limits. And when anglers<br />
want low profile reels to do more, something has got<br />
to change. Abu Garcia did so by increasing the size<br />
of the reel and everything else inside. This gives us<br />
a reel with line capacity and power of larger round<br />
reels but in a smaller package.
Looking For A Fight?<br />
What kind of a monster would you want to battle with?<br />
Well, for freshwater application the giant snakehead<br />
comes to mind. No I am not talking about those little<br />
10kg brutes. I am talking perhaps 18kg upwards<br />
nuclear submarine types that could easily drag you<br />
into the snags or bust your low profile baitcasting<br />
reel.
39<br />
Salty Gladiators?<br />
It certainly would work well with saltwater brutes the<br />
likes of sailfish, trevallies, etc. I wouldn’t call this<br />
reel a gladiator slayer. No, not this. For that, it has<br />
a brother. However, the Revo Toro S certainly can<br />
and will subdue many a gladiator.

RodFord RFC Dry Bag<br />
RodFord recently launched a new dry bag known<br />
as the RodFord RFC. <strong>The</strong>se bags look good and<br />
they help keep your things dry. Made of tough material<br />
the RodFord RFC dry bags are ideal for your<br />
fishing adventures.
43<br />
Sealed Seams<br />
Putting a bag of such together requires the combination<br />
of parts or sections. To do so, these parts are connected<br />
together either through sewing, gluing, or hot<br />
pressing. Whichever method chosen, it is essential<br />
for the seams to be sealed in order to be waterproofed.<br />
<strong>The</strong> RodFord RFC dry bags come with sealed seams.
Like A Backpack<br />
<strong>The</strong> RodFord RFC dry bags are designed to be carried<br />
about like a backpack. It has got two padded<br />
carrying strap as well as back ventilated padding<br />
that provides for better comfort. Should you decide<br />
to grab it and go, there is a handle with rubber grip<br />
that you can hold on to.
45<br />
Compartments<br />
<strong>The</strong> RodFord RFC dry bags come with two netted<br />
side pockets that can be used to carry anything from<br />
water bottles to torch lights, etc. It also has a front<br />
pocket that for storage although it is not waterproof.
Reflects Light<br />
When camping out at night in a jungle where the environment<br />
is dark, the reflectors at the front (below the<br />
front pocket) of the bag comes into handy. With a little<br />
light, these reflectors will reflect the said light helping<br />
the bag to stand out and in sight.
47<br />
All In All<br />
Well, the RodFord RFC dry bag is easy to use and is<br />
great for keeping your belongings dry. Furthermore it<br />
looks great and is easy to carry.

Z Craft MUSO Jigs<br />
Z Craft recently launched the new Z Craft MUSO<br />
Jigs. <strong>The</strong>se “butterfly type” jigs are well designed and<br />
built. Cosmetics wise, they are coloured pretty well<br />
too with laser type colours, Active UV colours, and<br />
glow in the dark luminous paint to attract fish from a<br />
wide variety of depths.
65<br />
Designed By <strong>Angler</strong>s<br />
MUSO jigs are designed by Z Craft field testers to provide<br />
better control and action. It uses a tuning method<br />
known as the “EDGE” technology that has shaped the<br />
MUSO in such a way that gives it a fish like swim action<br />
through the currents.
Like A Bait Fish<br />
MUSO is designed to respond well to light and subtle<br />
movements both upwards and downwards and this<br />
allows it to look like a baitfish hovering about in the<br />
current. While doing so it also vibrates and weaves<br />
occasionally.
67<br />
Targeted fish types: Pelagic and bottom feeders<br />
Weight: 15g, 20g, 30g, 40g, 50g, 70, 90g, 110g, 130g,<br />
160g, 200g<br />

NEW<br />
Launches<br />
New Pflueger Supreme XT<br />
When it comes to Pflueger, I feel that if a reel<br />
manufacturer were to make a reel lighter than theirs,<br />
they get pissed off and get down to making another<br />
lighter reel in the said reel class. Here comes the<br />
new Pflueger Supreme XT and it is the lightest reel in<br />
its class.
83<br />
Good Looking<br />
<strong>The</strong> new Supreme XT is certainly a good looking reel.<br />
It comes in a dark grey body and rotor that looks somewhat<br />
metallic. Maybe it is. My eyesight has wasn’t<br />
what it was. It also has gun metal chromed rotor covers<br />
on its rotor, and areas of the body.
Nice Orange Lining<br />
<strong>The</strong> spool comes ported and has nice looking metallic<br />
orange lining that gives it a somewhat futuristic<br />
look. <strong>The</strong> spool is also braid ready which means<br />
that backing line need not be used with braided lines.<br />
<strong>The</strong> spool comes with three rubber linings that allows<br />
braided lines to be held in place.
85<br />
Lovely Handle<br />
<strong>The</strong> handle comes with a sporty carbon fibre shaft<br />
that looks good and saves on weight. <strong>The</strong> handle itself<br />
is EVA supported by metallic orange washer and<br />
screw cover. While the design may not be new it still<br />
looks good especially with the metallic orange lining<br />
and gun metal colours.
87<br />
RigidiTy Is Key<br />
<strong>The</strong> magnesium body of the new Supreme XT is rigid<br />
especially at the reel foot area. No one likes a reel that<br />
flexes during the battle with a brute. Reel foot flexing<br />
not only makes fighting the fish uncomfortable. It also<br />
reduces one’s confidence; not what you want during<br />
the fight of your life.
Well DEsigned RoTor<br />
<strong>The</strong> rotor is made of magnesium too just like the body,<br />
of which helps with the weight reduction. Unlike the<br />
body, the rotor does have a little bit of flex. In terms<br />
of smoothness, the rotor rotates smoothly and is well<br />
balanced.
89<br />
Drag Power<br />
<strong>The</strong> new Supreme XT comes with sealed carbon fibre<br />
drag. Sealed drags protects the drag from dirt that are<br />
in the water such as little particles from wood, vegetation,<br />
etc. It also gives protection from corrosive saltwater.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y come with a max drag of 8lb, 10lb, 12lb,<br />
and 14 lb depending on model.
Corrosion ResisTanT<br />
Bearings<br />
<strong>The</strong> new Supreme XT comes with 10 corrosion resistant<br />
stainless steel bearings that offers smooth operations<br />
and more importantly protection from the elements<br />
especially if the reel is to be used at sea.

Lure Fishing Basics<br />
LipPart 3<br />
Bill Or<br />
Crankbaits come either with a bill of which is also<br />
called a lip, or they come without one. In this article<br />
we will discuss about the bill or the lip of which plays a<br />
very significant role in the action if the lure..
93<br />
Manipulating<br />
Hydrodynamics<br />
One of the reasons for lures to have a bill is to use<br />
the resistance of water to manipulate the lure’s actions.<br />
Imagine standing in a pool and with your palm open<br />
and fingers close, push the water with your hands. At<br />
certain angles the resistance become either lighter or<br />
higher. This helps manipulate the lure’s actions.
Big Or Small<br />
You’ll notice that lures come with bills of various sizes.<br />
Some a big almost half the size of the lure and some<br />
are smaller. <strong>The</strong> bigger the surface of the bill the higher<br />
the resistance to water. Why the difference in sizes?<br />
When the lure is being cranked, a downward force is<br />
created. This force brings the lure down (called dive).<br />
<strong>The</strong> bigger the bill the deeper the dive.
95<br />
Bill Angles<br />
Another thing you will notice is that certain lures come<br />
with the bill set at a different angle. Some are set horizontal<br />
to the lure. Some are set somewhat at a 45 degrees<br />
angle. and some are about 90 degrees. Changing<br />
the angle affects the direction of which the downward<br />
force comes from. This in turn helps with stabilizing the<br />
lure, and gives the desired action.
Shapes<br />
<strong>The</strong>se bills come in various shapes. However, in general<br />
there are two main shapes and they are the round<br />
bill and the square bill.
97<br />
Rounded<br />
Bills<br />
One of the more common bill shapes is the rounded bill.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y have a larger surface and a thus a higher down<br />
force. <strong>The</strong>y are mainly used with deep diving lures.<br />
<strong>The</strong>se lures scrap the bottom creating commotion and<br />
thus gets a whacked by a pissed off predator. <strong>The</strong>re are<br />
also round bills for shallow swimming lures.
Square<br />
Bills<br />
Another type of bill is the square bill. Square bills have a<br />
smaller surface and they normally run shallow. Square<br />
bills are good at deflecting snags but this does not mean<br />
that it is snag free. When they hit a snag they sort of<br />
bounce off it or get deflected off it.
99<br />
Other Shapes<br />
Other bills are the coffin bill. While Square bills have<br />
2 edges, coffin bills have 4 edges resembling coffins<br />
used by vampires as shown in vampire movies. <strong>The</strong>y<br />
work pretty much the same as square bills. And there<br />
is the triangular bill which allows the lure to be fished<br />
slowly somewhat like smaller round bills.
To Note<br />
What bill size, length, or design you choose to use is<br />
generally determined by how deep or shallow you want<br />
to fish. <strong>The</strong> action will mainly be determined by the design<br />
of the lure. So the next time you shop for lures<br />
or choose lures for a trip, do give these words a little<br />
thought. Cheers...

All About Hooks:<br />
Part 3<br />
HOok<br />
Types<br />
When it comes to hooks the choices are a plenty<br />
and can get quite confusing. Hooks come in various<br />
forms or types for a host of different purposes. With<br />
this issue let us take a look at some of the types of<br />
hooks that are used with soft baits.
103<br />
Worm<br />
hook<br />
Unlike what the name suggests, worm hooks are not<br />
really made to hook real worms. You could but they are<br />
designed to rig soft plastic worm baits. <strong>The</strong>y can also<br />
be used to rig soft plastic fish such as minnows that are<br />
slim but still mainly used for worms.
<strong>The</strong><br />
Bent<br />
Shank<br />
<strong>The</strong> shank of the worm hook is bent somewhat like the<br />
hand crank of a car jack. <strong>The</strong>y are bent that way to rig<br />
soft plastic worms properly without deforming the them.
105<br />
Rigging<br />
This is done by inserting the hook into the soft plastic<br />
worm somewhat the length of the shank before the first<br />
bent of which is right after the eye of the hook. <strong>The</strong> hook<br />
exits the bottom front of the worm and is reinserted into<br />
the worm again at the body section the length of the<br />
hook shank.
ReadY<br />
To Fish<br />
<strong>The</strong> soft plastic worms and worm hooks are used in<br />
quite a few types of rigs such as Texas Rig, Tex-posed<br />
Rig (with hook point exposed), and Carolina Rig.
107
General Soft Bait<br />
Hooks / Carolina<br />
Rig Hooks<br />
<strong>The</strong> design of the general soft bait hooks or Carolina Rig<br />
hooks are somewhat like the worm hooks with the bent<br />
sank of which looks like the hand crank of a car jack.<br />
<strong>The</strong> difference between the general soft bait hooks and<br />
worm hooks is that the width of the gap. <strong>The</strong> gap of the<br />
general soft bait hooks is wider.
109<br />
Round<br />
Shank<br />
<strong>The</strong> shank of the general soft bait hook is rounded after<br />
the bent section at the eye of the hook. <strong>The</strong> shank then<br />
curves into the bent and goes all the way to the point.<br />
Due to the rounded or curved shank the gap between<br />
the hook point and the shank is wider.
Usage<br />
<strong>The</strong> general soft bait hooks are used for all sorts of soft<br />
baits from worms to fishes to frogs, etc. <strong>The</strong> way of using<br />
them is similar to that of the worm hook but they can<br />
be used to rig up thicker soft baits. <strong>The</strong> soft baits are<br />
usually rigged weedless.
111<br />
Stay Tuned<br />
Well, if you are new to soft bait fishing, you now know<br />
what hooks to get and how to use them. So go out there<br />
and catch lots of fish.

Get Your Kids Fishing<br />
An Initiative By <strong>The</strong> <strong>Asian</strong> <strong>Angler</strong> Magazine<br />
Fishing is a very healthy sport.<br />
As anglers we enjoy fresh air, we<br />
experience nature, we improve<br />
our analytical skills, we absorb<br />
vitamins from the sun, we expend<br />
our minds, we learn about the<br />
environment, etc.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are so many benefits to<br />
fishing and we should reduce our<br />
kids addiction to video games,<br />
computer games, playing with<br />
mobile devices, etc. We should get<br />
them to interact more with our<br />
environment and teach them a<br />
thing or two about life and living<br />
life.<br />
With this in mind we hope to<br />
encourage you to take your kid(s)<br />

Year End Fishing<br />
Hello everyone!<br />
Time really flies. In the blink of an eye, the end of 2015<br />
comes and <strong>2016</strong> arrives. 2015 has been great for me. I<br />
broke my personal Striped Snakehead record 3 times this<br />
year. Here is my second personal record snakehead that<br />
took the 2.4” Berkley Powerbait Saltwater Slinky Shad.
It took me around 20 minutes to fool this fish with multiple<br />
lures. After switching to the Slinky Shad, it was finally<br />
fooled and landed. This fish was hanging around the same<br />
area for about 2 weeks. As the monsoon season iss beginning,<br />
snakeheads will start to hang in grass for breeding.<br />
125
This juvenile snakehead was caught on a rubber frog.<br />
Just a few minutes earlier I lost a bigger one because I<br />
did not pay attention to my frog. Paying attention to your<br />
frog is important when fishing with rubber frogs to ensure<br />
perfect hookset.
Here is my younger brother with a solid snakehead<br />
on the Zman MinnowZ in space guppy. <strong>The</strong> flakes<br />
really work well for snakeheads especially when it is<br />
sunny. From our experimenting we have found out<br />
that lures with flakes tend to get more bites as compared<br />
to lures without flakes.<br />
127
Here is my youngest brother with a juvenile Striped<br />
Snakehead on a 2” black Berkley Powergrub. We<br />
searched for snakeheads by observing scattering<br />
groups of baitfish and concentrating casts in areas<br />
where baitfish congregate.
Here is a snakehead caught by my younger brother on the<br />
Zman MinnowZ. Notice the emerald blue ventral fins. <strong>The</strong><br />
colours of the snakeheads are beautiful now as it is their<br />
breeding season.<br />
129
<strong>The</strong> Berkley Powerbait T-Tail Minnow rigged on an under<br />
spin worked well to fool this little snakehead and a<br />
few more that managed to shake the hook. <strong>The</strong> blade<br />
adds flash and vibration, perfect to get snakeheads to<br />
bite when conditions are tough.
Here is my latest personal record snakehead at 46cm and<br />
780 grams. It gave a powerful fight but I managed to counter<br />
it with the Surecatch D-Legend rod and the new Abu<br />
Garcia Promax 3.<strong>The</strong> Promax 3 handled long casts and it’s<br />
high ratio helped to get the fish out of cover quickly.<br />
131
Released to grow and I hope I will be able to catch<br />
it again. 2015 has been an awesome year. I have<br />
achieved most of my goals, except catching a Peacock<br />
Bass. I am also happy to see more junior anglers on<br />
social media. I know that there are many more junior<br />
anglers out there. If you are a junior angler, keep up the<br />
good work, never give up and always remember, safety<br />
first.

Crosspoint Waterproof<br />
Crew Sock<br />
Don’t let cold wet feet ruin your outdoor fun! Crosspoint<br />
Waterproof Socks solves the soggy toe problem and<br />
keep your feet dry while fishing, hiking, etc. in the rain.<br />
Our socks are fully waterproof thanks to 3-layers: a wear<br />
resistant knit exterior (feels like a regular sock), a waterproof<br />
breathable Artex membrane, and a Coolmax FX<br />
moisture wicking anti-bacteria lining. <strong>The</strong> result is a sock<br />
that feels like a sock but protects like a rain bootie.<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Asian</strong> <strong>Angler</strong><br />
Weirdest Baits<br />
I am not sure if you’ve caught fish with things that are<br />
generally not a fishing bait before. Quite a few anglers<br />
have. I have caught fish with the skin of Mandarin oranges<br />
before but there are more bizarre things used by<br />
anglers.<br />
