Abu Garcia Veracity Pro 

Part 2 

Testing Grounds: Natural Exotic Pond 

Series: Veracity Pro 

Model: VERPS 702 MH A 

Length: 7’ 

Lure Wt.: 1/4-1oz. 

Line Wt.: 12-30lb 

Configuration: 2 pieces 

Opponents: Amazon Red Tail Catfish 

We tested the Abu Garcia Veracity Pro rods in our 

lab back in January 2016. The casting one managed to 

take up to 20.7lb of pressure, of which is slightly above 

its rated 20lb test. Unfortunately we could not test it in 

the field as we had to return it in exchange for a spinning 

one.

11 

Back To The Lab 

Reel: Abu Garcia Stealth ST6000 

Line: Berkley Fireline 

Poundage: 30lb 

Having a different rod in our hands we had no choice 

but to get back to our lab and put it through the pressure 

test. The target this time is 30lb, as claimed on 

the rod. So we secured a reel to it and secured the 

line to a ground anchor.

Start The Torture 

We pushed the Veracity Pro up all the way to about 

24lb with a lot of worry as it was bending quite dangerously. 

We continued to push it until it touched 

about 26lb and then we decided to stop in fear it 

may just break. It was 4lb shy of the targeted 30lb.

13 

Field Test 

We took the Veracity Pro to our usual field testing 

site and had a go with the gladiators there. These 

big dirty fighters would make minced meat or in this 

case “fiberized” graphite out of lesser rods. There is 

no mercy once the bait is taken.

Casting Abilities 

For bait we used half a bait fish and cast it out into 

the middle of the pond near the pillars of a restaurant 

that is built out into the pond. The Veracity Pro 

cast pretty well allowing us to land our baits into the 

zone (where the gladiators hang out) over and over 

again.

15 

Fish Management 

Not long later the Veracity Pro started to do a bend 

and the reel starting screaming. We were in for a 

fight. I palmed the spool and proceeded to drag 

the gladiator out away from the pillars, right into the 

open space. The Veracity Pro has just enough power 

to turn the heads of these gladiators.

Not For Brute Force 

The Veracity Pro is not made to handle the barbaric 

brute force type of fishing. It is made for the 

more gentle sporty angler where the fish will have 

its chance to run. While we managed to turn a few 

heads, we did end up in the snags (pillars) too. Luckily 

we managed to get back out with fish intact.

17 

Test Summary Thus Far 

The Abu Garcia Veracity Pro looks sinisterly good 

in blood red but what’s more important is that it is a 

capable rod. It may not be the lightest rod not the 

most sensitive rod, nor is it a hard fighting brute rod; 

but with the Fuji components and the price it comes 

in, it certainly is good value for money.

Abu Garcia Revo Toro S 

The Abu Garcia Revo Toro S is one of Abu Garcia’s 

answers to low profile saltwater casting reels. It comes 

in white side plates and a black frame looking somewhat 

like a reel made for the imperial storm troopers who are 

the main ground force of the Galactic Empire (Star Wars).

23 

High Performance 

The Revo Toro S is a powerhouse of a reel that is 

made to fight hard, subduing monster after monster. 

It is one heck of tough reel that can take in lots of 

lines thus allowing you to mess about with the saltwater 

gladiators of the seas.

Powerful Drag 

The drag system on the Revo Toro S would give hard 

fighting brutes a run for their money. It comes with a 

Power stack Carbon Matrix drag system rated with 

a 25lb max drag. To see if it meets what it claims we 

took it to our lab for a bit of torture.

25 

Lab Test 

Back at our lab we put it through the pressure test. 

Securing the line to a ground anchor we started to 

apply force. We got it easily to 20lb with the drag 

running smooth. We continued on to a high drag 

pressure almost maxing out the drag and we got it 

to 26.5lb with the drag still smooth.

Field Test 

Rod: Abu Garcia Salty Stage KRX Jigging 

Line: Berkley Fireline braid 40lb 

Leader: Berkley Vanish 50lb 

To see how it will performed we took it to Pulau Jarak 

(Jarak Island) for a test drive. The Revo TORO 

S is a reel for big things.

27 


The Revo Toro S come with both a magnetic and a 

centrifugal braking system. This make casting easier. 

Casting big lures or jigs are thus its forte. That 

being said the Revo Toro S is a decent reel to cast 

with giving decent distances with very good spool 

control.

Fighting Abilities 

We managed to bully a few fishes dragging them out 

of their hiding place with relative ease. The larger 

round knob makes cranking and fighting more comfortable. 

Although the fishes caught are of decent 

weight, none of them managed to provide a fight 

worthy of the Revo Toro S. The reel has proven itself 

to be an overkill in this instance.

29 

Summary 

If you are in the market for a saltwater low profile 

powerhouse, the Abu Garcia Revo Toro S is one of 

the reels to consider. It is a good performer with lots 

of power allowing you to do battle with confidence.

Too Easy 

We had a powerhouse in our hands and all we caught 

were gladiator wannabes instead of the real gladiators. 

This time we ended up the bully. The Revo 

Toro S made bullying way too easy.

Abu Garcia Salty Stage 

BV8 Part 2 

Last issue we were mesmerized by the looks 

of the Abu Garcia Salty Stage BV8 baitcasting 

reel. We also took it to the lab and tortured it with 

the pressure test where it did well reaching 8.3kg 

(1.3kg above the 7kg mark). It did so with a smooth 

drag. This time let us see how it performed on the 

field.

35 

Field Test 

Rod: Abu Garcia Salty Stage KR-X Jigging PE1-2 

Line: Berkley Fireline Braid 

Poundage: 20lb 

To test the Salty Stage BV8 we took it to our usual field 

testing site where big and muscular gladiators sit in 

wait to do battle. This pond is the Natural Exotic Fishing 

Pond, a commercial fishing pond (pay to fish) in Rawang, 

Malaysia. Anglers who have fished here know what 

is at stake.


When it comes to casting the Salty Stage BV8 brings 

out the charms. Coming with magnetic brakes it cast well 

with good control over the spool, giving decent distances 

especially when we needed to land our baits near the 

pillars of a restaurant that sits somewhat at the centre of 

the pond. This is where some of the gladiators hide.

37 

Fighting Abilities 

Having need to land our baits near pillars, I think you can 

imagine just how thin a line we are walking. We have to 

get the fish away from the pillars or risk getting snagged; 

something which has happened many a times. With the 

Salty Stage BV8’s drag pushed up we managed to drag 

the gladiators out into the open. It also has enough drag 

to offer good amounts of control.

Added Excitement 

The Salty Stage BV8 comes with a line out alarm which 

provides for added excitement especially during the fight. 

We have often heard of the term screaming reels. The 

Salty Stage BV8 screams during the fight (although not 

loud) and this is simply one of the best sounds to an angler. 

Few low profile baitcasting reels come with this feature.

39 

Smooth Performer 

Battle after battle went on smoothly with the Salty Stage 

BV8 performing very well. We landed a few tough fighting 

gladiators; mainly the red tail Amazon catfish. The power 

handle and the bigger round made fighting these gladiators 

more comfortable with better grip. Before long they 

were posing for a shot.

Panicky State 

I am happy that we did not lose any fish but we got spooled 

once. This was the first fish that took the bait. The brute 

took off into the open (fortunately), heading over to the 

other side of the pond. In a short while we reached the 

monofilament backing. I proceeded to max out the drag. I 

still got spooled but luckily the line held up. That happens 

when we can’t have enough lines in the spool.

41

Summary 

The Abu Garcia Salty Stage BV8 baitcasting reel is a high 

performance reel with lots to offer. It looks good, fights 

well, and the line out alarm is nice when the fishes try to 

make off with one’s bait. Good reel to think about should 

you be considering low profile baitcasting reel.

Minnows Inc Beito Original 

King Frog 

When it comes to fishing for snakeheads both 

brown snakeheads (haruan) and giant snakeheads 

(toman), one of the lures frequently used a frog 

type lures. A few months ago the Minnows Inc Beito 

Original King Frog reached our shores.

45 

Striking 

Colours 

The King Frog comes in a striking mix of colours. Some 

of these colours come with flakes that reflect lights. Having 

such striking colours does provide an advantage. 

The main one being an attractive moving target that will 

easily catch the attention of predators fishes.

Skirt & 

Appendages 

The King Frog comes with skirts and two swimming appendages 

that look like frog legs. This gives the illusion 

of an actual frog swimming making it more attractive to 

predator fishes and thus getting them to strike.

47 

Hard Bodied 

When it comes to frog type lures, there are two types. The 

hard bodied and the soft. The King Frog comes with a 

hard plastic body. The benefit of being hard bodied is that 

it will not take in water like some of the soft bodied ones 

(except soft plastic baits) that will have to be squeezed 

out after a few cast of risk losing balance.

Strong HookS 

The King Frog comes equipped with strong Owner Double 

hooks that dangle at the back in between the appendages 

and the skirt. These hooks are of high quality. 

The skirt and the appendages provide some “weedlessness” 

to it.

49 

Field Test 

To test the effectiveness of the King Frog we gave a few 

out to various field testers to have them tested in various 

places in different parts of the country. As for us, we 

headed out to a few nearby ponds and had a go with 

them.

Casting 

The King Frog cast well. It is well weighted, and being 

compact it goes to good distances with an easy cast. It 

is one of those lures that are fun to cast. It is like you get 

satisfaction from a good cast almost all the time.

51 

The Action 

The King Frog is a floating type lure. When twitched it 

moves like a real frog moving in the water. When paused 

it sits with its back underwater pointed downwards and its 

head pointed upwards. Both its appendages hang about 

underwater in a weird indecent sort of way while the skirts 

point upwards. Looks more like a dead frog floating.

Catching Fish 

Unfortunately I did not catch any fish fishing in a heavily 

pressured pond near my place. I had two strikes but 

unfortunately they didn’t stick. The other field testers did 

better. Quite a few brown snakeheads and giant snakeheads 

were caught and landed.

53 

A Low Point 

While the King Frog did well in attracting fishes and getting 

them to strike, one issue we noticed is that the hooks 

are a little thick and thus there were quite a number of 

failed hook-ups. Changing them to thinner hooks made 

the difference.

55 

Summary 

Overall the Minnows Inc Beito Original King Frog is a 

good frog lure that fishes find attractive. Should you decide 

to add them to your lure collection do note that we 

highly recommend changing the hooks to thinner diameter 

hooks for improved hook-ups.

Decoy Tracin’ Single Hooks 

Saltwater Torture 

Decoy makes very good hooks and they have 

proven themselves over and over. Still we wanted 

to know how good they are. Naturally the best thing 

to do will be to bring them to our lab and have them 

tested. We decided to test the Decoy Tracin’ Single 

31 OP lure hooks.

57 

Sharpness Test 

Before we did anything to these hooks we needed to 

know if they are sharp to begin with. We ran it on our 

plastic spoon to see if it will catch on. The Tracin’ Single 

31 hooks caught on easily proving that they are sharp.

Freshwater Test 

Next we drowned them in freshwater for 24 hours. Most 

of us would not leave our hooks in water for 24 hour 

when we fish thus this test will be more than sufficient 

to see if they will rust in freshwater for the duration of 

our fishing. After 24 hours in the freshwater we found 

no sign of rust. We ran it on our plastic spoon and they 

caught on which means that the hooks are still sharp.

59

Saltwater Test 

Next we drowned them in saltwater for 24 hours to see if 

they would be able to go on for at least 24 hours without 

rusting in this corrosive solution. After 24 hours we removed 

them from the saltwater solution and inspected 

them. No signs of rust.

61

Final Sharpness Test 

Next we just had to run them on our plastic spoon to see 

if they are still sharp. No point fishing with a blunt hook 

right? These hooks caught onto the plastic spoon which 

means that they remained sharp even after drowning 

them in saltwater for 24 hours.

Abu Garcia Revo Toro 

BEAST 

Should you be in the market for something to drag 

the living daylights out of gladiator fishes and round 

multipliers make you feel as stylish as tortoises, perhaps 

the new Abu Garcia Revo Toro Beast is the 

reel that you looking for.

65 

All About Brute Force 

When Abu Garcia designed the Revo Toro Beast they 

must have designed it with a vengeance. “Enough of 

playing! Let’s just drag them out and crank them up.” The 

Revo Toro Beast is all about brute force. Hence the word 

“Beast.” The bull is not enough, Let’s bring out the beast!

Aggressive Design 

When one creates a monster, why not make it 

mean. The Revo Toro Beast does not look sexy. 

Sleek makes not a good design for a beast. The 

Range Rover Evoque may look sleek. Park it next 

to a Humvee and it will look like a little girl sucking 

on a lollypop. The Revo Toro Beast is the Humvee.

67 

Subliminal Messages 

When you look at the Revo Toro Beast, it speaks to 

your subconscious mind. Its power handle, rounded 

EVA knob, large gearbox, etc. talks about power. 

Its spool capacity that takes in lots of lines tells you 

that this beast is made to handle big brutes, and not 

just those who think that they are brutes.

Complete Package 

The Abu Garcia Revo Toro Beast is a powerhouse 

of a reel that is brutal in the battlefield, performing 

relentlessly to bring up your monster, and yet sits 

nicely in your hands looking like a serious weapon, 

ready to create mayhem. If this is what you are looking 

for, my golly; you have found your monster.

Lure Fishing Basics 

Part 4 

Adjustments 

Over the past 3 issues we discussed about hard 

lures, mainly crankbaits and their characteristics, as 

well as how they work. Before we actually go into fishing 

them (lure playing techniques), let us first look into 

preparing them.

85 

Before Casting 

Before you cast out your lure, the first thing that you 

should do is to ensure that your lure swims right. With 

this I mean the direction of which it swims to. You want 

your lure to be swimming in a straight line. It will wobble 

or shimmer while it is being cranked but you want it 

coming back in a straight line.

Testing Your Lures 

Test your lure by casting it out and cranking it back in. 

If it swims off in one direction (left or right), it needs to 

be adjusted. A lure that swims off in one direction other 

than in a straight line will prove to be difficult to manipulate. 

They are pretty darn ineffective and very seldom 

catch fish.

87 

Adjusting The Lure 

Another thing you will notice is that certain lures come 

with the bill set at a different angle. Some are set horizontal 

to the lure. Some are set somewhat at a 45 degrees 

You can angle. adjust and your some lure’s are about swim 90 direction degrees. by Changing adjusting 

the angle towing affects point (the direction loop where of which your line the is downward secured 

force to). All comes you need from. is This a pair in of turn pliers. helps My with recommendation 

stabilizing the 

lure, is to use and a gives square the type desired pliers action. instead of the long nose 

ones. The square type offers a better more confident 

grip, to me at least.

Be Careful 

If your lure swims to the right, bend the towing point 

very slightly to the left. If it swims to the left, bend the 

towing point to the right slightly. Cast your lure out and 

crank it back again. If it still does not swim right, adjust 

the towing point again very slightly. Cast the lure out 

again and crank it back. Adjust the towing point until 

you get the lure swimming back to you in a straight line.

89 

Adjusting The 

Action 

The wobble of the lure can be adjusted but first, a note 

of caution. With plastic lures, doing such adjustments 

may not work and could damage the lure if you are not 

careful. Thus I do not recommend doing so on plastic 

lures. They work on wooden lures.

The action of the lure can be tuned by bending the towing 

point upwards or downwards. Bending the towing 

point upwards gives the lure a shimmy type action. 

Bending downwards gives it a slow wobble.

91 

Modern Lures 

Most modern lures will not require such adjustments 

to their action as they are well adjusted in the factories 

before they are packed. These lures have been tuned 

for a certain action and will swim well (most of the time). 

Doing adjustments to them may very well damage them.

Plain Lousy 

Some lures seem to be un-adjustable. No matter how 

you adjust them they will not swim right. Well, some 

lures are just plain lousy. They came manufactured 

badly. Best thing to do with these lures is to remove the 

hooks, attached a key chain ring to the towing point and 

you’ve got yourself a new key chain that tells everyone 

you’re an angler.

93 

More Next Issue 

That is all for now. Starting next issue we will explore 

lure playing techniques. Meanwhile, take your lure’s to 

some lake or pond or swimming pool and see how they 

swim. Who knows, you could very well catch a fish or 

two.


All About Hooks: 

Part 4 

Treble Hooks 

Treble hooks are basically three hooks attached to 

one. Some people call them triple hooks but the actual 

term for it is treble hooks or trebles for short. The reason 

why some call them triple hooks could be because 

they are actually three hooks attached to one.

95 

Uses 

Treble hooks are generally used with lures, jigs, spoons, 

spinners, etc. The use of treble hooks stems from the 

believe that they increase the chance of hooking up a 

fish thus why they are popular. Well, they do but they 

also do come with a few disadvantages especially with 

fishes that have tough jaws.

Designs 

Treble hooks come in various designs. There are the 

short shank and long shank ones. They also come with 

various types of bends including the usual rounded 

bend, the limerick bend, inline bend, etc. There are also 

the wide gape and narrow gape types.

97 

Single Lure Hooks 

When it comes to lures, most of them come with treble 

hooks. These days more anglers are opting for single 

hooks, exchanging them with the trebles that originally 

comes with the lures that they buy. The normal single 

hooks used for bottom fishing are not recommended to 

be used with lures. For lures there are the single lure 

hooks.

LARGER 

eYE 

Single hooks made for lures come with a larger hook 

eye. Some come with hook eyes that are not only larger 

but also opened, allowing one to just slot the lure’s ring 

into it, and then clamping the eye close. Bottom fishing 

single hooks have smaller eyes that will fit too rigidly on 

the ring.

99 

Different 

Designs 

The single lure hooks comes in different designs. Some 

come with long shanks, some come with short shanks, 

some are rounded, etc. There are single hooks for most 

every lure type as well as personal preferences. An example 

is this opened eye hook. Allows for easy attachment 

to lures. Just squeeze down the eye to lock.

Why Single Lure 

Hooks? 

Treble hooks of which were and still do come with most 

lures have a few disadvantages. For one they do cause 

more damage to a fishes mouth, and they can be bent 

opened as well as crushed by the powerful jaws of 

certain fishes. Single hooks do not have such issues. 

Single hooks have a lower chance of getting snagged 

when fishing around snags as compared to trebles.

101 

Summary 

I for one prefer using single hooks on my lures and 

have most of them changed. At the end of the day it is 

still up to personal preferences and which configuration 

provides for the highest amount of confidence.

Fishing Fun January 

Hello everyone! 

I hope the month of January has been a good start for everyone. 

For me,it has been a bit tough, because of the hot 

weather. Fish were very passive throughout the day and 

the only chance to get a decent bite is fishing at first light. 

This snakehead is my first catch of 2016,on a pop frog 

popped slowly beside some grass.

113 

This is my second snakehead for 2016.It hit this 7cm clone 

of the Rapala Shallow Shad Rap on my last cast. Look at 

the size of the lure compared to its head. This fish was 

very aggressive and fought hard. 

The Redhead colour seems to be effective for haruans 

here, probably because they haven’t seen it before.

This snakehead also came on the same clone lure in 

the evening. I saw this snakehead resting on a weed 

bed, and a slow retrieve with a long pause managed to 

get the attention of this snakehead and another one as 

well. Both of them tried to take the lure, but this one got 

it first. The Surecatch D-Legend rod helped to lift the 

fish out of the water quickly before it made it to some 

structure.

Here is a juvenile snakehead caught on a Zman 3” 

Minnowz by my younger brother. This little snakehead 

was very greedy and it fought very hard as 

well. 

115

Here is another juvenile caught on a spinnerbait with a 

2” Berkley Powerbait Powergrub as a trailer. The flash 

and vibration managed to trigger bites from juvenile 

snakeheads.

This juvenile snakehead was caught on the 3.8” Berkley 

Powerbait Saltwater Slinky Shad. I saw it rising in front of 

me with another snakehead, and I tried fishing it slowly. 

This fish hit the Slinky Shad so hard that I thought it was a 

big snakehead. 

117

The 2” Berkley Powerbait Swim Shad in Shad colour. 

Perfect colour to match the hatch at my favourite spot. 

I’m sure it will match natural colours in other locations 

as well. I had a few misses from juvenile snakeheads 

on this little swimbait.

Here is a juvenile Tinfoil Barb/Lampam, taken on a popper 

with some bread on the trebles .The Tinfoil Barbs in the 

area were very sensitive, and chumming with some bread 

to create a feeding frenzy was the only way to get them to 

hit my popper with bread. For the lure purist, this may not 

sit well but sometimes one need to be creative. 

119

This Striped Snakehead is protecting it’s fry. I spotted 

a few snakeheads hanging around this shallow area 

which is packed with weeds. It is a good spot to target 

with small soft plastics. 

I hope 2016 will continue to go on very well for everyone.

121
