Freshwater Rod<br />
Testing Grounds: Barramundi Pond, Jugra<br />
Series: Bassfield<br />
Model: BSFS 662 UL<br />
Opponents: Barramundi
F ishing is lots of fun and can be challenging as<br />
one varies one’s fishing tackle. Abu Garcia’s new<br />
Bassfield rod series does just that. It is a forgiving<br />
rod that adds fun to the fishing, something we had<br />
the good fortune of experiencing during out field<br />
testing trip at a barramundi pond in Jugra, Selangor,<br />
<strong>Malaysia</strong>.<br />
13
More On <strong>The</strong> Rod<br />
<strong>The</strong> Bassfield is a rod designed by Abu Garcia’s<br />
Japanese team. It started out as a concept rod for<br />
bass fishing with the idea that anyone from beginner<br />
to expert anglers will find this rod suitable and<br />
easy to manage.
It looks elegant in black with silver thread windings<br />
giving it that expensive look. It comes with<br />
contoured high quality EVA grips that are comfortable<br />
to hold and they are designed in a way<br />
that adds on to the image of the rod.<br />
15
Comfortable To Use<br />
<strong>The</strong> Bassfield is lightweight and is well balanced<br />
especially when fitted with a reel. Being lightweight,<br />
well balanced, and fitted with contoured EVA grips<br />
makes the Bassfield a comfortable rod to fish with<br />
especially when one will be spending hours casting<br />
with it.
17<br />
Quality Guides<br />
<strong>The</strong> Bassfield comes equipped with high quality<br />
Fuji O-ring guides that offers smoother casting,<br />
reduced wear and tear of fishing lines, and they<br />
can handle super lines. Fuji O-ring guides are<br />
also tough and great value for money.
Performance<br />
To test its performance we took the Bassfield to a<br />
barramundi pond in Jugra, Selangor. Here we cast<br />
1 inch long soft baits with jigheads doing some ultra<br />
light fishing. With our ultra light Bassfield rod, the<br />
barramundis here were given a fair fighting chance.
19<br />
Casting<br />
Casting light weight baits with the Bassfield is<br />
easy as it has a softer tip (Ultra Light model). Accuracy<br />
of cast is quite good but not spot on, landing<br />
the baits near the intended spots. <strong>The</strong>re was<br />
wind too another factor to consider but generally<br />
it did good.
Fish Management<br />
When it comes to fighting the fish the Bassfield<br />
was very forgiving. It allows the fish to run until a<br />
certain section before power kicks in. This adds<br />
to the fun factor of the rod especially on ultra light<br />
tackle. <strong>The</strong> Bassfield certainly is a capable fighter.
21<br />
Summary<br />
<strong>The</strong> Abu Garcia Bassfield looks elegant, is comfortable<br />
to fish with, is light weight, and it performs<br />
well. Casting distances are good even when casting<br />
light 1 inch grubs on jig head. It certainly is<br />
a capable fighter that gives enough room for fun<br />
before turning on the power. Good rod indeed.
Lots of good size fish were easily landed.

Abu Garcia Gambit Wild Jester<br />
Review<br />
T he Abu Garcia Gambit Wild Jester is part of the<br />
economically priced Abu Garcia Gambit series of<br />
rods available in the South East <strong>Asian</strong> Market. I’ve<br />
used it and it has performed well for multiple species<br />
of fish ranging from snakeheads to tarpons. It is<br />
great for smaller fish yet it is very much capable of<br />
handling and landing larger sized fish.
<strong>The</strong> Wild Jester is a 2 piece rod and is 6’3” in length. It is a<br />
medium light rod with moderate fast action, and a poundage<br />
of 8-17lbs. <strong>The</strong> Wild Jester is designed for technical<br />
fishing with soft plastics, minnows and topwater lures. Personally<br />
I call it the Peacock Bass rod because the techniques<br />
this rod can cover are great for Peacock Bass. <strong>The</strong><br />
Wild Jester has a 24 Ton graphite blank, split rear EVA<br />
grips and standard guides.<br />
31
In terms of performance the moderate fast tip<br />
makes it a great rod for technical casts. One of my<br />
favourite things to do with the Wild Jester is to skip<br />
soft plastics. <strong>The</strong> moderate fast tip aided casts and<br />
skip casts while the backbone excelled in making<br />
hooksets. It is a great rod for soft plastic fishing.<br />
Being the soft plastic addict I am, I used it for soft<br />
plastics 80 percent of the time. I had no trouble<br />
picking up subtle bites with the Wild Jester. Bite<br />
detection was excellent on different types of line<br />
(monofilament & braided line)
Even though soft plastics are extremely fun I still<br />
enjoyed fishing with minnows and topwater lures<br />
with the Wild Jester. This handsome Mayan<br />
Cichlid was taken on the ORCraft Code Minnow<br />
by probing a steep drop off. Letting the minnow<br />
sink and slowly jerking it produced an aggressive<br />
strike. A Giant Snakehead also decided to<br />
scoop the minnow but with a loose drag it shot<br />
into thick weeds before I could react.<br />
33
Working topwater lures such as poppers and pencils<br />
are also a breeze with the Wild Jester. <strong>The</strong><br />
length of 6’3” was not a problem for making long<br />
casts with lures ranging from 3g-15g.<strong>The</strong> moderate<br />
fast tip just made the job of working the lures effortless<br />
and fun.
<strong>The</strong> Wild Jester feels light in the hand and casting<br />
with it all day is no problem. I didn’t have<br />
any issues of fatigued arms after a whole day of<br />
fishing with it. Fighting fish with it was no problem<br />
too as the backbone performed consistently<br />
each time a fish was hooked up.<br />
35
<strong>The</strong>re were a few occasions where I pushed the<br />
Wild Jester way beyond its limit but it has held up<br />
very well for the past one year. It is an economic<br />
rod that functions well for its purpose and it is a rod<br />
that will last long. <strong>The</strong> Wild Jester is certainly the<br />
rod you need if you are looking for an economically<br />
priced rod that can handle a variety of techniques<br />
and fishes.<br />
Tight lines and happy fishing

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Asian</strong> <strong>Angler</strong><br />
Decoy<br />
Plus Guard<br />
VJ-75<br />
Testing Grounds: Barramundi Pond, Jugra<br />
Series: Plus Guard<br />
Model: VJ-75<br />
Opponents: Barramundis
D ecoy Plus Guard VJ-75 jighead is a softbait anglers<br />
dream come true especially since it is weedless.<br />
It comes with a super sharp hook (I actually<br />
got hook accidentally not once, not twice, but three<br />
times) that easily latches on to skin (penetrates<br />
easily), finger nails, plastic spoons, wood, etc.<br />
39
Super Sharp<br />
> <strong>The</strong>se jigheads are really sharp.
41<br />
Saltwater Torture<br />
First we wanted to see how it will do in saltwater. We<br />
placed one in a container of saltwater for over 24<br />
hours. After over 24 hours we removed the jighead<br />
for inspection and found no rust. We ran it through a<br />
plastic spoon and it caught on confirming that it still<br />
remains sharp.
Still sharp after over 24 hours.
43<br />
Field Test<br />
To test the Decoy Plus Guard VJ-75 jighead we took<br />
some lighter action tackle (since the jighead is for<br />
finesse fishing) and headed to some barramundi<br />
ponds. Since these ponds are known to have specimens<br />
from about 700 grams to about 2kg, I think the<br />
Decoy Plus Guard VJ-75 can handle them.
Good Fit<br />
I decided to use my old trusty Abu Garcia Revo<br />
Premier reel with the new Abu Garcia Bass Beat<br />
II rod rated light; for this test. For bait I used my<br />
all time favourite Berkley Powerbait 1 inch grub.<br />
For test I used the Decoy Plus Guard VJ-75 size<br />
3 weighing 2.5 grams that fits the grub well.
45<br />
Hook Strength<br />
We hit a lot of fish and the hook penetrated the fish’s<br />
lips easily. We lost quite a few fishes too as they managed<br />
to throw the hook. Increasing the drag pressure<br />
helped improve the landing rate. We also lost a few<br />
good size fishes due to the hook opening up. We had<br />
to turn the fish away from the water wheel and the<br />
added pressure caused the hook to open.
47<br />
Verdict<br />
<strong>The</strong> Decoy Plus Guard VJ-75 jighead does what it is<br />
designed to do well. It is super sharp penetrating the<br />
fishes lips easily. It is weedless of which is great especially<br />
when fishing for fishes that hideout in weedy<br />
areas. Step past its limits and it opens up of which<br />
is good and bad. Bad because you lose a fish. Good<br />
because it is easy to pull free when snagged. Bend<br />
the hook back in shape and continue fishing.

Introducin’ <strong>The</strong> <strong>Asian</strong> <strong>Angler</strong><br />
Abu Garcia’s New Weapon<br />
As anglers we consider ourselves sports people<br />
too. Fishing is after all a sport where men and<br />
women hunt down fish and try to catch them. With<br />
that in mind many an angler prefer their tools to be<br />
sporty, good looking, lightweight, and tough. Fishing<br />
tackle brands know that too and have since<br />
include materials and designs that are sporty,<br />
light, and tough into their products such as carbon<br />
graphite, carbon fibres, high grade stainless steel,<br />
etc.
<strong>The</strong> new Abu Garcia Oceanfield Jigging rod series are<br />
a series of jigging rods designed by Abu Garcia’s team<br />
in Japan. <strong>The</strong>se rods are made to handle heavier jigs<br />
up to 300g. Built with a powerful backbone they are designed<br />
to manage hard fighting brutes.<br />
51
Tough And Powerful<br />
<strong>The</strong> Oceanfield Jigging gets its power and strenght from<br />
the contruction of its carbon graphite blank and Abu Garcia’s<br />
X Carbon Wrap; a crisscrossed type wrap that further<br />
strengthens the blank giving it added rigidity at essential<br />
areas. This also pushes up its power level giving it more<br />
rebound power, strength, and helps to reduce rod blank<br />
twist for a more consistent flow of power and energy.
53<br />
High Quality Components<br />
<strong>The</strong> Oceanfield comes equiped with quality components<br />
from its ergonomically designed grips that uses high quality<br />
EVA to its Fuji reel seats and guides. <strong>The</strong> Fuji reel seat<br />
holds reels securely in place adding confidence to the<br />
angler during battles.
<strong>The</strong> Fuji New Concept guides used here allows for<br />
smoother line flow, helps dissipate heat well, thus reducing<br />
damage to lines. <strong>The</strong>se guides are also lightweight<br />
compared to normal ceramic guides and they are tough<br />
making them ideal guides for use with superlines.
55<br />
Weight And Balance<br />
<strong>The</strong>se rods may not be super lightweight but they are<br />
light enough allowing anglers to fish long hours without<br />
fatigue setting in. <strong>The</strong>y are also well balanced with the<br />
weight slightly at the tip area of which balances backwards<br />
toward the butt end with a reel secured.
Rear grip made of high quality EVA.
Check <strong>The</strong>m Out<br />
<strong>The</strong> Abu Garcia Oceanfield Jigging rod series will<br />
be hitting the stores soon. Do stay tuned and check<br />
them out especially if you’re in the market for a jigging<br />
rod. This is one good rod to consider.<br />

A bu Garcia has a rod that is branded, well it is<br />
an Abu Garcia rod. But the good news is that it<br />
does not cost a bomb. It does not even cost a tiny<br />
bomb. It is certainly pocket safe and may cause<br />
some “accidental” purchases.<br />
59
Looks Wise<br />
Some big brands tend to undermine the looks<br />
of their lower budget level products giving them<br />
the “lower budget” looks, but Abu Garcia has<br />
certainly not done that. In fact they made the<br />
new BlackMax look good. It looks sporty and<br />
smart.
61<br />
How Does It Feel?<br />
<strong>The</strong> BlackMax rod is one of those rods that you<br />
would pick up, give it a feel, subconsciously price,<br />
and then take a look at the price tag and go;<br />
“what the @*#*?” “I am buying it.” While it does<br />
not feel like a high-end rod it certainly does not<br />
feel “cheap.” It feels like a solid performer; full of<br />
power. It is one of those rods that many will find<br />
an excuse to buy.
No Frills Rod<br />
How Abu Garcia made an affordable yet high<br />
performance rod is by using a good core and<br />
shaving the cost off the others. <strong>The</strong> BlackMax<br />
rod comes with a good 24 ton graphite blank<br />
that has lots of power and good backbone. <strong>The</strong>y<br />
shaved on the components. <strong>The</strong>y use non branded<br />
high quality stainless guides with Titanium<br />
oxide inserts (rings) and graphite reel seats.
This allows one to take one’s time should one feel<br />
a need to mod the rod exchanging the components<br />
for branded ones say by Fuji. With a good<br />
core one has the option to build on it.<br />

Fish on and the Black Max rod is going into battle.<br />
65
<strong>The</strong> BlackMax rod is a good caster especially on<br />
weightier baits. We get very good casting distances.<br />
It is when the monsters take the bait the<br />
BlackMax truly shines. It has lots of recoil power<br />
managing every fight really well. It has power to<br />
turn the heads of the monsters we were fighting<br />
without any loss of power; an attribute of a good<br />
strong backbone.
Fish about to be landed. <strong>The</strong> Black Max has lots of<br />
power.<br />
67
Verdict<br />
While the Abu Garcia BlackMax may be priced<br />
at the lower end of its range, it certainly feels<br />
like a higher end rod. It fights very well and it<br />
exceeded my expectations. I was expecting a<br />
drop in power after bending past a certain level<br />
but the BlackMax held its head up and fought<br />
on. Very good value for the price.

B.S.P<br />
Hooks<br />
For Soft Plastic, Swimbaits,<br />
Buzz Frogs, & Soft Jerkbaits
I f you are an angler that fish a lot of soft baits,<br />
swimbaits, etc. do checkout the Ichikawa B.S.P<br />
hooks. <strong>The</strong>se offset designed hooks are great<br />
for these type of fishing. <strong>The</strong>y come with a longeyed<br />
offset area that reduces tearing of soft<br />
plastic baits.<br />
73
<strong>The</strong>se hooks hold the soft plastic baits in place<br />
when casting holding them is position. With the<br />
hook point hidden within the soft plastic baits, the<br />
baits become weedless. <strong>The</strong> points are really sharp<br />
too and with PTFE coating, become very effective<br />
with hook ups. PTFE coating makes the surface of<br />
these hooks smoother which provides better penetration.
<strong>The</strong> B.S.P hooks came about after extensive research<br />
and testing. <strong>The</strong>se hooks have been factory<br />
set and aligned with the best amount of gape<br />
giving the soft plastic baits the best position when<br />
secured to the hook, eliminating unnatural movements.<br />
75

<strong>The</strong> B.S.P hooks also holds fishes well especially<br />
during tough battles reducing the fishes chance of<br />
escaping. Ichikawa B.S.P hooks are made in Japan<br />
using quality steel giving them the needed toughness<br />
to handle hard fighting fishes.<br />

J-Spike<br />
Hooks
I chikawa fishing has a new hook called the J-<br />
Spike hooks that are made for jigging. <strong>The</strong> J-<br />
Spike hooks are super sharp and they come<br />
with a flattened hook eye as with many types of<br />
jigging hooks.
<strong>The</strong> Ichikawa J-Spike hooks are coated with TIN<br />
making them ideal hooks for saltwater fishing.<br />
<strong>The</strong> TIN coated hooks can handle the harsh and<br />
corrosive nature of saltwater making them resistant<br />
to rust.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Ichikawa J-Spike hooks are tough hooks made<br />
to manage hard fighting brutes. Being super sharp<br />
they can easily penetrate the fish’s lip. It is also<br />
designed to hold the fish securely especially during<br />
tough battles, reducing any opportunities of escaping.

Is One Better Than<br />
Three?<br />
Oh come on! how can one be better than three?<br />
Well, this is debatable. Both have their strong<br />
points but there are more anglers that change<br />
their trebles to singles, of course depending too<br />
on the type of fishing. For those who do...
...<strong>The</strong> K.O.S.H hooks come with a curved sharp<br />
point that allows for easy penetration and good<br />
solid hook-ups. <strong>The</strong>y are made using tough and<br />
strong wire that holds on to fish well especially<br />
during tough battles with hard fighting fishes.<br />

Kamakiri<br />
Treble By<br />
Ichikawa<br />
Fishing
H ooks are super important as they are the<br />
connection between the fish and the angler.<br />
One can use the best baits in the world but if<br />
one’s hook fails, no fish will be caught. To hook<br />
fish successfully, hooks must be sharp, tough,<br />
and strong enough. Introducing Kamakiri Treble<br />
hooks by Ichikawa Fishing.
89<br />
Hook Characteristics<br />
<strong>The</strong> Kamakiri Treble hooks are well designed to<br />
catch all sorts of fish and is great for most types<br />
of fishing. <strong>The</strong>se hooks are well balanced with a<br />
hook eye that is centred making them ideal for use<br />
with lures as the lure action will be maintained.
Higher Penetration<br />
Rate<br />
<strong>The</strong> hook points of the Kamakiri Treble are bent<br />
slightly outwards or away from the shank. <strong>The</strong>se<br />
enhances or rather improves the penetration<br />
rate of the hook of which means that chances of<br />
connecting with the fish just before the “strike”<br />
is improved.
91<br />
PTFE Coated<br />
<strong>The</strong> Kamakiri Trebles are coated with PTFE. Yes,<br />
I asked the same question too. What the heck is<br />
PTFE? PTFE is short for Polytetrafluoroethylene,<br />
a synthetic fluoropolymer of tetrafluoroethylene.<br />
In layman terms PTFE is a type of Teflon. What<br />
makes it special is that it is so smooth even water<br />
doesn’t stick to it. This smoothness makes penetrating<br />
the fish’s lip more efficient.
Holds On To Fish Better<br />
<strong>The</strong> Kamakiri Trebles come with a bent called<br />
“sproat bent design.” This design increases the<br />
hook’s effectiveness in holding on to the fish reducing<br />
the chance of the fish shaking the hook<br />
off and escaping.

Fishing for<br />
Trout in<br />
New Zealand
105<br />
^ Summer Safari Camp at Poronui.<br />
I f you’re planning a trip to New Zealand to fish<br />
for those elusive brown and rainbow trout, you’ll<br />
want to know a little about where you’re heading.<br />
Remember that the Down Under summer<br />
is the reverse of the northern hemisphere, with<br />
warm balmy days from October to April in the<br />
north of the country and November to March in<br />
the south. It’s also the main fly fishing season.
^ Fishing from Poronui.<br />
New Zealand is a beautiful country. Tucked<br />
away in the bottom left corner of the South Pacific,<br />
it’s a long way from anywhere except Australia.<br />
And even then, it’s a three hour plane ride<br />
across the Tasman Sea from Sydney to Auckland.<br />
With two main islands, imaginatively called<br />
the North and South Islands, the country spans<br />
1000 kilometres of latitude, with the resulting<br />
differences of climate and topography that arise<br />
from that.
107<br />
^ Heli-fishing from Poronui.<br />
<strong>The</strong> North Island is essentially volcanic, and the<br />
trout-bearing rivers and lakes generally run from<br />
the higher altitudes of the Central Plateau out towards<br />
the coast, or into one of the central lakes.<br />
Studded with three beautiful high mountains, Ruapehu,<br />
Ngaruahoe and Tongariro, and many deep<br />
lakes including Rotorua and Taupo, the Central<br />
North Island is steeped in Maori history and broken<br />
by fast-moving rivers. <strong>The</strong> Tongariro River is<br />
one of these, a rather challenging river that has<br />
drawn fly-fishermen since the introduction of trout<br />
over 120 years ago.
^ South Island river fishing.
109<br />
<strong>The</strong> South Island, on the other hand, has been<br />
wrenched from the earth by huge seismic upthrusts<br />
and earthquakes. Its landscape is spectacular,<br />
dropping from the high peaks of the Southern Alps<br />
to the wide coastal plains of the east coast and<br />
the wild ocean beaches of the west coast. You can<br />
stand on a wave-torn, rocky west coast beach and<br />
look inland to high snow-capped mountains, with<br />
several glaciers in between. Once again, clear<br />
rocky rivers tumble down through deep gorges<br />
and across stony valleys, providing countless opportunities<br />
for excellent wild trout fishing.<br />
Main international gateway cities from Asia are<br />
Auckland, in the North Island, and Christchurch in<br />
the South Island. International flights also arrive<br />
into Wellington from Australia, and Queenstown<br />
in the south, giving access to the fabulous fishing<br />
around Southland and inland Otago. This is also<br />
very handy in ski season. Major roads are good<br />
to drive, although drive times can be deceptively<br />
slow because of the rugged terrain, particularly<br />
in parts of the South Island. Driving is on the left<br />
side of the road.
^ Lake Taupo Lodge.<br />
<strong>The</strong> main trout fishing areas in the North Island<br />
are around Taupo and Rotorua, and further out<br />
towards the East Coast and Hawkes Bay. <strong>The</strong><br />
greater Nelson region at the top of the South Island<br />
is a key brown trout fishing area, and there<br />
is also excellent fishing further south through<br />
Canterbury, the West Coast, Otago and Southland.<br />
All these places are well-served with top<br />
local fishing guides, and there are beautiful<br />
luxury lodges hidden in remote locations so you<br />
can stay and fish in quiet splendour. Three, four<br />
and five star options provide something for every<br />
budget.
111<br />
^ Back country fishing from Lake Taupo Lodge.<br />
<strong>The</strong> trout fishing season runs from October to<br />
April throughout most of New Zealand, but there<br />
are many areas in the North Island where an<br />
open season runs all year in the lower reaches<br />
of the rivers. This makes places like Taupo and<br />
Rotorua, in the central North Island, particularly<br />
good places to fish in winter.
^ Fishing from Tongariro Lodge.<br />
Trout fishing is generally catch and release, and<br />
the clear waters of most New Zealand rivers<br />
make for some of the best sighted river fishing<br />
for brown and rainbow trout in the world. Other<br />
options include lake and spin fishing, raft fishing<br />
on the white water rivers, and heli-fishing in the<br />
remote back country and mountain areas.
113<br />
^ Blanket Bay Lodge, Lake Wakatipu.<br />
^ Fiordland Lodge, Lake Te Anau.
^ Chalet at Minaret Station.<br />
New Zealand is now an incredibly popular place<br />
to fish for trout so you’ll need to book ahead for<br />
next season to ensure you get good accommodation<br />
and guides in the areas you want to visit.

Introduction To<br />
Part 5<br />
Bottom Fishing Baits<br />
T here are many baits that can be used for bottom<br />
fishing and in this issue we take a look at live baits.<br />
Live baits are simply baits that are alive. <strong>The</strong>y are<br />
especially good baits for predator fish that prefer<br />
chasing down and hunting for food and /or prey..
119<br />
Types Of Live Bait<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are many types of live baits that have proven<br />
to catch fish. some of them are shrimps, prawns,<br />
leeches, fish, squid, and worms. All these live baits<br />
have their place in fishing and have caught plenty<br />
of fish in both saltwater and freshwater environments.<br />
Worms are perhaps one of the most famous baits.<br />
I started fishing using earthworms (first use of live<br />
baits) fishing for tilapia at a pond and we caught<br />
lots of tilapia. Of course they catch all sorts of other<br />
fishes too like certain species of gourami, carp,<br />
as well as saltwater fishes (using bloodworms).
Fish<br />
Live fish are perhaps the live bait that I currently<br />
used the most especially when I am on a sailfish<br />
fishing trip. My favourite baits include Indian mackerel,<br />
bigeye scad, and yellow eye scad. To use them<br />
successfully these baits will have to be healthy and<br />
swimming.
121<br />
Hook<br />
Hook<br />
Hook<br />
Hook<br />
To ensure that your baitfish stays alive and is swimming,<br />
make sure that the hook used is hooked in<br />
places that will not kill the fish. Good places to place<br />
a hook through are at the top near the dorsal fin, at<br />
the tail after the caudal fin, and the nostrils. Ensure<br />
not to injure the lateral line of the fish.
Of course baitfish can be used in freshwater too.<br />
Catfish is a good bait for giant snakeheads while<br />
scissor tails are great for catching brown snakeheads,<br />
peacock bass, cichlids, etc. Palm size tilapia<br />
makes great bait for many types of fishes especially<br />
the Amazone red tail catfish.
123<br />
Prawns / Shrimps<br />
Prawns are great for bottom feeders that feed on<br />
the seabed. Fishes such as snappers and groupers<br />
take them. <strong>The</strong>y also catch other fishes such as barramundis,<br />
drums, etc. Like fish baits, prawns must<br />
be alive and kicking in the water. Insert hook at the<br />
segment nearest to its telson (tail) avoiding the gut.<br />
Shrimps or small prawns are great bait for freshwater<br />
species such as feather backs, catfish, goby,<br />
and a host of other fishes. When using live shrimps<br />
follow the same principle that is to avoid the telson.<br />
Of course this goes for bigger shrimps and thinner<br />
hooks.
Hook<br />
Hook
125<br />
Squid<br />
Live squids are great baits for a variety saltwater<br />
fishes such as sailfish. <strong>The</strong>y are hardy baits to use.<br />
As the idea of using live baits is that the baits must<br />
ideally be alive and well. For squid, just insert a hook<br />
at the top part (sharp area) of the mantle. If it is too<br />
long, another hook can be placed at a lower section<br />
of the mantle.
Hook<br />
<strong>The</strong>se here are some examples of live baits that are<br />
used for bottom fishing. <strong>The</strong>re are lots more baits<br />
that can be used like lizards, crickets, etc. Anyway,<br />
do give live baits a try on your next fishing trip.

<strong>The</strong> Kabin<br />
Escape<br />
Completely<br />
Interesting:<br />
A secluded artsy<br />
and nicely styled<br />
abode
129<br />
^Welcome to <strong>The</strong> Kabin.<br />
Ever wanted to stay in a hotel or a resort that<br />
is completely out of the norm? Brick and mortar<br />
buildings, as well as wood; have been the norm for<br />
hotels and resorts for many years. Not long ago<br />
we started seeing hotels and resorts being made<br />
of other things such as cargo containers used normally<br />
for shipping. <strong>The</strong> Kabin in Kuala Selangor is<br />
one such place.
Out Of <strong>The</strong> Norm<br />
^ Looks pretty cool.<br />
Although using containers as rooms for people to<br />
sleep in is nothing new, it is not often that hotels, resorts,<br />
or even inns use them. <strong>The</strong> first one stayed in<br />
was at a place in Perak where I used to go fishing at.<br />
But when it comes to making container hotels look<br />
good and stylish; <strong>The</strong> Kabin has certainly succeeded.
131<br />
Good Sense<br />
^ A mural at our Kabin that enhances the looks of the place.<br />
Building hotels and resorts is not a cheap endeavour,<br />
but using refurbished shipping containers certainly<br />
brings the cost down. <strong>The</strong>re is more. It make<br />
sense too. Think about the environment. What happens<br />
to old shipping containers? <strong>The</strong>y get discarded,<br />
left to rot somewhere not seen by many. What<br />
a waste.
^ <strong>The</strong> containers do have windows. Round windows like<br />
those on ships.<br />
Refurbishing and repurposing them is one way that<br />
is both good for business and for the environment.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Kabin has done just so creating a lovely, artsy,<br />
looking abode for travellers who want to experience<br />
a different type of accommodation.
133<br />
Looks Good<br />
<strong>The</strong> Kabin does look good. While shipping containers<br />
may not look all that big on the outside, I was<br />
surprised to see that our container or “Kabin” actually<br />
fitted four persons quite comfortably. Yes, the<br />
walking spaces may be a little small but overall it<br />
is comfortable. We had four single beds, shelves,<br />
drawers, etc. Oh yes, there is also a built-in toilet.
^ Our container sleeps four.
135<br />
A Swimming Mixture Pool<br />
Antique furnitures.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Kabin does have a swimming pool. Wait, two<br />
pools of which are lovely places to relax especially<br />
when the sun is hot. <strong>The</strong>re is a wading pool for kids<br />
and a large pool for adults. It may not be an Olympic<br />
size pool but is certainly is big enough to do a<br />
few good laps.
Cafe<br />
Worried about what to eat? worry not. <strong>The</strong> Kabin does<br />
have its own cafe where one can have sandwiches,<br />
ice cream, cold drinks, coffee and tea, etc. <strong>The</strong>y can<br />
also do barbeque with advanced notice. <strong>The</strong>re are<br />
places to eat nearby should one not feel like dining at<br />
the resort.<br />
Other Facilities<br />
For those who like to sing <strong>The</strong> Kabin does have a karaoke<br />
room that will allow singers & “singers” to exercise<br />
their vocal “muscles.” <strong>The</strong>re are also meeting and<br />
function rooms, bicycles for rent, games room, and<br />
stand up paddling boards and kayaks.
137<br />
Book A Stay?<br />
Should you be fishing off Kuala Selangor or visiting the<br />
attractions around the area such as Malawati Hill (historical<br />
fort), fire fly watching, eagle watching, photography,<br />
a visit to Sky Mirror, etc. <strong>The</strong> Kabin certainly is a<br />
place to consider staying at. Oh, for anglers, there is a<br />
beach that is walking distance from <strong>The</strong> Kabin.<br />
One thing to note though is that the container rooms<br />
(being made of metal) get really hot in the afternoon.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y take a long time to cool down even with the airconditioning<br />
running full blast.

An adventure of<br />

141<br />
^ <strong>The</strong> Verandah Restaurant<br />
Human beings are creatures of habit. We tend<br />
to eat at the few places that we like eating at and<br />
before you know it, you’re there almost every day.<br />
I have a few eating places that I go to on a rotation<br />
basis but then again it is habitual for me to do so.<br />
Sometimes it is good to break out of that loop and<br />
go dine somewhere else. We decided to go to the<br />
Cyberview Resort And Spa.
A Preview Of What’s<br />
To Come<br />
At the Cyberview Resort And Spa we attended a dinner,<br />
not just any dinner but a preview dinner of what would<br />
be served during the month of Ramadan for iftar. As we<br />
made our way towards the restaurant I could smell satay<br />
and meat being barbequed. That kicked started my<br />
digestive system and it wasn’t long before a gear shift<br />
took place seeing me speeding towards the buffet.
143<br />
A Dizzying Array<br />
^ Lots of stalls here with more inside the restaurant.<br />
Seeing the array of food being offered, I immediately<br />
noticed one issue. <strong>The</strong>re are lots of food but I only have<br />
one stomach with limited capacity. You see, Chef Imran<br />
and his team prepared 222 food items for the dinner (of<br />
which will also be offered during the month of Ramadan).<br />
That is a lot of food to savour.
Food Adventure<br />
I started my food journey with sushi before making my<br />
way to the various curries, and then took a break right<br />
after satay. <strong>The</strong> food was delicious. I wanted to go for a<br />
second round of gulai kawah but decided to hold back<br />
(it took a lot of will power) as there are more to savour.
^ Just look at all these delicious curry dishes...<br />
145
^ Yummy grilled lamb.<br />
After the short break I headed for the barbeque and filled<br />
up on charcoal grilled lamb and prawns. Whilst eating<br />
my delightful pieces of lamb a friend brought some icecream<br />
over and pointed out that this is a “must try.” My<br />
brains short circuited. Before finishing my main course,<br />
I attacked the ice-cream counter. Who wouldn’t when<br />
the ice-cream is rendang chicken flavoured.

Rendang Chicken Ice-Cream<br />
^ Rendang chicken ice-cream on the right. See the bits of<br />
chilli and chicken?<br />
Yes, you read this right. At first I too thought that I heard<br />
it wrong. I asked again what the flavour was and again<br />
I was told “rendang chicken ice-cream.” This ice-cream<br />
is a little spicy with tiny bits of chicken meat marinated<br />
with rendang, in it. <strong>The</strong> first scoop was the “getting used<br />
to” while the second scoop was where I enjoyed it.
More Main Courses<br />
^ Indian cuisine.<br />
I was already somewhat full by now but I just had to go<br />
on one more round of food adventuring. I wanted to go<br />
for more satay but then I saw fried kuay teow (a broader<br />
flat type of rice noodles). I weighed my options since I<br />
need room for dessert; and fried kuay teow won the bid.
149<br />
^ <strong>The</strong> simple but very delicious fried kuay teow.<br />
<strong>The</strong> fried kuay teow tasted really good. It was cooked<br />
just nice. Not too salty but really tasty. A bit spicy but not<br />
too much. what I love about fried kuay teow is the cockles.<br />
Without them no fried kuay teow is worth eating. I<br />
enjoyed every strand of it despite feeling full.
Using My Spare Tank<br />
^ <strong>The</strong> very lovely tiramisu cake.<br />
With so many delightful desserts tempting my sweet<br />
tooth I had no choice but to go on. I enjoyed lovely durian<br />
rolls (durian is my favourite fruit) which was really<br />
good. I enjoyed various palm dates (I love dates) . I had<br />
a few slices of cakes and tarts too. I love the strawberry<br />
tarts, crème Brulee, but the one I liked best is the blueberry<br />
cheese cake... or is it the tiramisu cake... both.
^ Very yummy blueberry cheese cake.<br />
151
^ If you enjoy strawberries, you will love these tarts.
^ Five varieties of palm dates. Oooh... lovely.<br />
153
^ My kiddo went gaga over these cupcakes.
^ Lollies for the kids.<br />
155
So Much More<br />
^ Ahhh.... chocolate fountain.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are so much more food that I have not tried. Well,<br />
every stomach has a limit. I had to stop or risk humiliation<br />
being wheeled out in a wheelbarrow. It is impossible<br />
to lose weight with such delicious meals on offer. I<br />
am certain that I have gained a few kilos after this meal<br />
but it was all worth it. When time comes I’ll hit the gym.
Information<br />
All these sumptuous delights will be available again<br />
during the month of Ramadan. So, do book yourself<br />
a table now.<br />
