The Abu Garcia 

Fantasista 

Aurora 

Testing Grounds: Barramundi Pond, Jugra 

Series: Fantasista Aurora 

Model: FAS601ML 

Opponents: Barramundi

A bu Garcia has this series of rods that I love; 

the Fantasista series. Soon to come is the all new 

Fantasista Aurora. Fans of Abu Garcia will remember 

a reel called the Abu Garcia Revo Aurora, a 

beautiful reel designed by Abu Garcia’s Japanese 

product team years ago. Lovely. 

13

Combination Of Two Greats 

The Fantasista Aurora is a combination of both using 

the strength, lightweightness, sensitivity, and 

feel of the Fantasista rods, and the beautiful colours 

of the Revo Aurora reel. Combining both of 

them brings about a very beautiful rod that fishes 

really well; like a well designed exotic super car, 

the kind of car you go to when you get bored of the 

Ferrari.

15 

Well Balanced 

The Fantasista Aurora is a very well balanced rod. 

It is lightweight and goes well with light weight 

reels. I tested the rod with my favourite spinning 

reel, the Pflueger Patriarch. It was certainly a 

match made in heaven.

High Quality Components 

The Fantasista Aurora comes with high quality components 

by Fuji. It comes with the beautiful Fuji 

TVS reel seat that allowed for more feel and better 

sensitivity. The Fantasista Aurora uses Fuji’s new 

concept KR guides (Semi Micro Guides) of which 

provides for the added advantage of tangle free 

fishing.

^Fuji’s KR Concept Guide. 

17

Good Sensitivity 

The Fantasista Aurora is made using high quality 

graphite blank that is lightweight and provides for 

high levels of sensitivity. Combining it with the Fuji 

TVS reel seat adds for better sensitivity as it allows 

for more contact to the blank.

19 

Field Test 

The Fantasista Aurora cast exceptionally well. 

With a tip that has very low amounts of wobble 

during the cast, every cast is confident and accurate. 

Casting distance is also very good getting 

very good distances.

Fish Management 

The Fantasista Aurora manages the fights well too. 

We took our Medium Light (ML) action rod to do 

battle at the barramundi pond in Jugra, Selangor. 

We battled a few good sized ones weighing close 

to 2kg and it has enough backbone power to easily 

manage them. Definitely more than enough power 

needed for a swift victory.

21 

Summary 

The Abu Garcia Fantasista Aurora is definitely a 

rod I will definitely get for my fishing. It is lightweight, 

sensitive, cast well, fights well, and it 

looks darn good. No reason to not get one other 

than the issue has to do with a tiny bank account 

and shallow pockets.

Many good size fish were easily landed.

Pflueger Supreme XT 

Pflueger has always been on the lighter side of 

things and the same thing can be seen with the Supreme 

XT of which Pflueger claims to be the lightest 

in its class. Its “light weightiness” is achieved 

with the use of a magnesium body and rotor, lightweight 

carbon fibre handle, and ported aluminium 

spool.

25 

Modest Design 

When it comes to design, the Supreme XT is modestly 

designed. Not too flashy and not too loud, this reel may 

not create a commotion but its subtle metallic candy orange 

linings on the gun metal coloured aluminium spool, 

and the sporty looking light weight handle holds hints of 

its character.

Casting Abilities 

The aluminium spool comes fitted with rubber which allows 

braided lines to hold on too and not slip. The Supreme 

XT is not a sleeper. With braided lines filled in it is 

ready to take on fights and the tough aluminium spool is 

not one to crack under pressure.

27 

Smooth Performance 

The Supreme XT is a smooth performer. It is smoother 

than some of the reels that carry a higher price tag. The 

smoothness is unlike some of the more high end reels 

that feel almost vacuum like. There is a hint of connectivity 

of the handle to the gears. Just a hint.

Ready For The Sea 

The Supreme XT comes ready to take on the finned creatures 

of the sea. It comes with 10 HPCR (High Performance 

Corrosion Resistant) bearings to resist the corrosive 

qualities of saltwater, and a sealed carbon fibre 

drag system that blocks out water, and provides for what 

Pflueger claims to be a 14lb max drag on this size 40 reel.

29 

Lab Test 

Line: Berkley Nanofil 

Poundage: 17lb 

Back at our lab we put the Supreme XT to the test. With a 

14lb max drag target we pushed up the drag and the torture 

begun. It easily touched 14lb and then it maxed out 

at 18.5lb; very impressive. The drag remained smooth 

with no sticky feel.

Field Test 

Line: Berkley Nanofil 

Poundage: 17lb 

To test the Supreme XT’s prowess in the real world 

we brought it to the Natural Exotic pond in Rawang, 

Selangor (Malaysia). We pitted it against the some 

of the hard fighting predators that lie in wait for a 

battle. We cast our baits near the pillars of the restaurant 

that sits on them.

31 

Good Control 

The Supreme XT had a few fights being able to manage 

the Amazonian red tail catfishes that took our 

bait. There is enough drag to pull the fishes out of 

the danger zones. The drag is also smooth even on 

high drag. There was no sign of stickiness from the 

drag even after a few fights.

Summary 

The Pflueger Supreme XT may be a modestly design 

reel but when it comes to fishing, it is by no means modest. 

It is smooth (both cranking and drag), it has a strong 

enough drag, and it fights well. One more thing I like to 

add is that it lays lines in the spool well too. So, here you 

go... a reel in a simple modest package.

Perseus 

Decoy Splitrings 

COASTAL GAME 

S plit rings are used all the time by anglers especially 

those that use lures, jigs, and spoons. Needless 

to say good quality split rings are essential 

as some brutes are powerful enough to open up 

split rings especially those of lesser quality. Needing 

good split rings for a jigging trip we decided to 

try out Decoy’s Medium Class split rings.

35 

Testing Grounds: Pekan 

Model: Medium Class 60lb 

Opponents: Diamond Trevally

Tough & Strong 

Decoy developed a tough stainless steel wire 

called “Hypower Stainless Steel” and this wire is 

darn tough. Opening the split ring requires more 

force as compared to the usual split rings of which 

is a good sign that the split ring will hold its ground 

even with higher pressure.

37 

Field Testing 

We chose the class #5 of which Decoy claims can 

handle pressure of up to 60lb; more than enough 

strength needed to battle the diamond trevallies 

(ebek) of Pekan, a coastal town situated at the 

east coast of Peninsular Malaysia.

Battling Brutes

Of course jigging is just an action used to entice 

a fish to take the metal jig. Nothing scary or worrying. 

It is when the fish takes the lure and heads 

to the bottom like a pile driver that one’s prays 

that nothing goes wrong and everything holds on 

and stays in tack. That includes the split rings. 

39

We were onto fish taking on hard fighting diamond 

trevallies that took our jigs and no matter 

how hard the battle, the split rings held on without 

opening. We did not lose any jigs or fish due 

to failure of the split rings.

41

Battling Brutes 

Having confidence in your fishing tackle is very 

important allowing you to battle with gusto. Knowing 

that everything from the reel, lines, rods, all 

the way down to the terminal tackle is in good 

condition and shape will certainly give one the 

confidence to battle well. The Decoy Split Rings 

certainly did well.

Decoy 

Plus Guard 

VJ-75 

Testing Grounds: Barramundi Pond, Jugra 

Series: Plus Guard 

Model: VJ-75 

Opponents: Barramundis

D ecoy Plus Guard VJ-75 jighead is a softbait anglers 

dream come true especially since it is weedless. 

It comes with a super sharp hook (I actually 

got hook accidentally not once, not twice, but three 

times) that easily latches on to skin (penetrates 

easily), finger nails, plastic spoons, wood, etc. 

57

Super Sharp 

> These jigheads are really sharp.

59 

Saltwater Torture 

First we wanted to see how it will do in saltwater. We 

placed one in a container of saltwater for over 24 

hours. After over 24 hours we removed the jighead 

for inspection and found no rust. We ran it through a 

plastic spoon and it caught on confirming that it still 

remains sharp.

Still sharp after over 24 hours.

61 

Field Test 

To test the Decoy Plus Guard VJ-75 jighead we took 

some lighter action tackle (since the jighead is for 

finesse fishing) and headed to some barramundi 

ponds. Since these ponds are known to have specimens 

from about 700 grams to about 2kg, I think the 

Decoy Plus Guard VJ-75 can handle them.

Good Fit 

I decided to use my old trusty Abu Garcia Revo 

Premier reel with the new Abu Garcia Bass Beat 

II rod rated light; for this test. For bait I used my 

all time favourite Berkley Powerbait 1 inch grub. 

For test I used the Decoy Plus Guard VJ-75 size 

3 weighing 2.5 grams that fits the grub well.

63 

Hook Strength 

We hit a lot of fish and the hook penetrated the fish’s 

lips easily. We lost quite a few fishes too as they managed 

to throw the hook. Increasing the drag pressure 

helped improve the landing rate. We also lost a few 

good size fishes due to the hook opening up. We had 

to turn the fish away from the water wheel and the 

added pressure caused the hook to open.

65 

Verdict 

The Decoy Plus Guard VJ-75 jighead does what it is 

designed to do well. It is super sharp penetrating the 

fishes lips easily. It is weedless of which is great especially 

when fishing for fishes that hideout in weedy 

areas. Step past its limits and it opens up of which 

is good and bad. Bad because you lose a fish. Good 

because it is easy to pull free when snagged. Bend 

the hook back in shape and continue fishing.

Revo Low Profile 

I don’t know about you but 

new toys always get me excited 

and I am excited right 

now. I am excited because 

I’ve seen things; lovely and 

delightful things. I have seen 

the new Revo reels by Abu 

Garcia that will be launched 

in 2018. Here are some information 

about them.

REVO4 X 

Let us start with the REVO4 X; the darkest reel amongst 

the lot. This is certainly Batman’s reel should he be an 

angler. Don’t get me wrong; the REVO4 X is a good 

looking reel. It looks dark and sporty. It comes with 8 

bearings and it feels lightweight. It certainly is a smooth 

operator turning smoothly. The REVO4 X is certainly 

one fine reel although it stands as the entry level 

REVO4 model.

REVO4 S 

The REVO4 S comes with magnetic brakes called the 

MagTrax brake system that helps anglers fine tune 

their casting to the baits that they are using. They come 

with 8 ball bearings for smoother operations. But what 

I like is the “Gull Wing” sideplate that allows for fast 

and easy access into the braking system.

81

I have not used the reel but having a play with it, the 

reel feels smooth and lightweight. It sits in my palms 

snugly as with all the other REVO4 models. It comes in 

black and white like a Storm Trooper from Star Wars.

GENERAL SPECS 

BRAKING SYSTEM: Magnetic

REVO4 SX 

The REVO4 SX reel was the only one I tested. Casting 

it is easy as it comes with both; a centrifugal braking 

system and a magnetic braking system. I even taught 

someone who has not used a baitcaster to cast using 

the REVO4 SX and he was casting within 10 minutes 

or so (after a few tries).

89

The REVO4 SX operates smoothly allowing for smooth 

easy casts and retrieve. I felt like a bully fishing this 

pond bullying fishes here with drag power that is said 

to be the most powerful in its class. Enjoyed fishing 

this reel.

REVO4 STX

The REVO4 STX reel is one other smooth operator. It 

comes with 11 bearings providing it with smooth operations. 

It comes with the “flying arm” type centrifugal 

braking system called the Infinitely Variable Centrifugal 

Brake (IVCB-6L) with 6 arms. This is a proven system 

that makes casting easier with good distance. 

99

The first reel I used with the IVCB braking system was 

the Abu Garcia Revo MGX and it cast really well earning 

it a place amongst my most like reels. That was 

then the IVCB-4 with only 4 arms. This has 6. I am certainly 

wanting to try this out.

101

103 

FEATURES 








IVCB-6L (Infinitely Variable Centrifugal Brake) braking

REVO4 PREMIER

111 

When it comes to REVO reels the 

first one that I owned was the REVO 

Premier (first generation). That was 

my favourite reel many years ago. 

It was lighweight and it cast so very 

well. It was my constant companion 

everywhere I travelled to, to fish. 

This new PREMIER certainly brings 

up the warm fuzzies. 

The REVO4 PREMIER is lightweight 

and it feels refined and looks elegant 

with a dash of sportiness. It is a 

black reel with gold trimming giving 

it that touch of elegance. It comes 

with a bent carbon fibre handle giving 

it that sporty look. It operates 

well with smoothness and perhaps 

grace.

REVO4 INSHORE

119 

REVO4 INSHORE is one of the reels 

made for saltwater fishing. There 

are a few other saltwater reels but 

perhaps will only be made known 

later when the folks at Abu Garcia 

are ready to. The INSHORE is one 

of the proven saltwater low profile 

baitcasting reels with good casting 

abilities and fish fighting power. 

That said, it is not a brute of a reel 

nor does it look like one. It is a refined 

saltwater player that operates 

smoothly; something like racing 

a sedan such as a Tesla Model S 

P90D against a Porsche 911 Turbo. 

The P90D is a lot faster off the start 

but the 911 Turbo finishes first. 

The INSHORE is like the P90D being 

fast and more refined but lesser 

in power thus providing with longer 

fun battles where as the 911 Turbo 

(REVO WINCH for example) being 

the brute; is slower off the start but 

finishes faster with brute power.

FEATURES 

6 stainless steel HPCR® bearings + 1 roller bearing 

provides increased corrosion protection

REVO4 WINCH

125 

Now we come to brute force; the 

REVO4 WINCH. The WINCH have 

been a staple powerhouse in Abu 

Garcia’s REVO range. This low ratio 

powerhouse of a reel is made to 

battle the tough fighting brutes of the 

sea. I have landed numerous sailfish 

on earlier generation brutes with no 

issues. 

This new WINCH feels rigid and tough. 

It certainly is a sturdy reel built tough 

to handle hard fighting fishes. With 

the longer handle and larger knob; 

the WINCH certainly carries on the 

heritage of earlier generation REVO 

WINCH.

FEATURES 

8 stainless steel ball bearings + 1 roller bearing provides 

smooth operation 

Winch gear ratio allows for a slower presentation that 

is ideal for crankbaits and other high resistance lures

Resorts 

Escapy 

Cyberjaya 

People take vacations for various reasons 

but most do so to relax and let one’s hair down; 

forgetting about work and other work related 

responsibilities, and to rejuvenate one’s soul. 

It is when one’s mind is relaxed and when one 

finds that inner peace that one’s mind is free 

to imagine and think at a higher less cluttered 

level.

131

Recently my family and I visited the Cyberview Resort 

& Spa in Cyberjaya, the Silicon Valley of Malaysia. Despite 

being in the hub of technological start-ups and 

businesses, the resort sits in a quiet place surrounded 

by nature. It felt like we were holidaying far from 

civilization. 

Pic: The Bistro Cascata Italian Restaurant.

A Relaxing Holiday 

133

Fragrance Of Flowers 

Walking into the lobby one is mesmerized by the fragrance 

of flowers (jasmines); a soothing aroma that 

relaxes. It brought about a feeling of calmness as I 

sat for awhile at one of the sofas with my eyes closed 

enjoying the sound of the water fountain while I waited 

for my wife and kid. Soothing and relaxing indeed. 

Pic: The lobby.

135

137 

Well Designed 

Room 

After checking in we drove to our 

room; a Superior Chalet. The room 

has a contemporary modern plus retro 

look and is well designed. It comes 

with a walk-around wardrobe that is 

uniquely placed slightly off middle of 

the room acting as a divider between 

the beds and the vanity area. 

Pic: The wardrobe and vanity area.

139 

The bathroom comes with an 

egg shaped bath tub made of 

ceramic with a faucet that looks 

more like part of a water feature 

instead of just a tap, bamboo ladder 

designed tower rack, glassed 

shower area with rain shower, 

and a wall with holes that allows 

light from the sun to come in. Of 

course these holes are blocked 

by something that does not allow 

any voyeur a peek inside. 

Pic: A lovely bathtub.

Pic: I went retro too with my trusted 

old Iphone 3GS that has since 

taken on life as an Ipod. This room 

comes with an Ipod / Iphone dock 

(old adapter head). 

141

143 

Comfortable & 

Delightful 

Our room came with a king size 

bed and a single bed. If you like 

softer beds, you’ve found heaven. 

The beds are soft and comfortable. 

They feel plush; like 

sleeping on a huge teddy bear. 

The pillows I believe are filled 

with goose downs giving one the 

ability to adjust it to one’s liking. 

If you do not know how that is 

done; try getting the feathers to 

one side of the pillow and giving 

the flat area of the pillow a few 

folds. Now you have a harder pillow 

with a higher setting.

That night, with the air-conditioning simulating the 

temperatures in the highlands during the rain, I slept 

very well on the comfortable and plush huge “teddy 

bear,” with my head resting snugly on the comfortable 

pillow. I woke up well rested.

Delicious Food 

We had our meals at the Verandah 

Restaurant a Pan-Asian restaurant 

& Xing Zhu, a restaurant that serves 

Chinese cuisine. There are other 

outlets like the Bistro Cascata that 

serves Italian cuisine, and Karma Bar 

& Lounge but we did not dine there. 

Perhaps on a future trip.

149 

Verandah 

Restaurant 

The Verandah Restaurant serves a 

mixture of local, Asian, and Western 

cuisines. There are lots of food 

here that I like but these are the few 

that I love most. I loved the streaky 

beef bacon and had them for breakfast 

every day during our stay. It was 

cooked really well remaining juicy 

and not too salty. It goes really well 

with scrambled eggs.

The cold dish; fresh prawns and mussels 

served on ice, is yummy. Fresh 

crunchy prawns and mussels eaten 

without seasoning gives one the natural 

flavours of their meat. This can 

only be served with fresh seafood 

and Verandah has it. Lovely. 

151

Japanese cuisine is another thing that I like. Unfortunately 

I have been told by my doctor to stay off whites 

(rice included) due to health reasons. But I could not 

resist sushi rolls. Instead of devouring lots of them, I 

decided to devour “not so lots” of them. 

153

Pic: Lots of delicious desserts. 

155

157 

They have lots of other foods too including 

the very delicious beef stew 

with tender beef cuts, ayam masak 

merah (spicy chilli chicken) that is really 

tasty, ikan bakar (grilled fish) with 

tasty chilli paste, Indian food such 

as roti canai, noodles with soup, etc. 

There are also lots of delightful desserts 

like chocolate cakes with macaroons, 

yummy cream puff, etc. 

I ended every meal with fruit ‘rojak’ a 

fruit dish in a sauce made of prawn 

paste mixed with chilli and sugar. 

Not everyone will agree to the taste 

of ‘rojak’ sauce as it is quite pungent. 

But those who do will be floating on 

cloud nine here at the Verandah Restaurant. 

Pic: I love rojak.

Dim Sum And More Dim

159 

Sum 

Another type of food that I love 

is dim sum. We had dim sum 

buffet at the Xing Zhu Restaurant. 

I have eaten ‘halal’ dim 

sum at many places but these 

here certainly beats them all. 

Xing Zhu serves the best ‘halal’ 

dim sum (to me). The meat 

is juicy and tasty with its flavours 

well wrapped up within. 

Pic: The Xing Zhu Chinese Restaurant.

While all of them are delicious 

my favourite is the ‘siew 

mai’ or ‘shumai.’ They are juicy 

and tasty. The texture of the 

chopped meat is tender and 

nice. Mushrooms that are part 

of the mix gives them additional 

flavours creating a lovely ball 

with flavours that explodes in 

one’s mouth. Oh, so delightful. 

161

163 

Another very delicious dim sum 

dish is the steamed chicken 

wings. The wings are marinated 

and steamed in some secret 

tasty sauce until they are 

soft and moist. They taste so 

very good that I ordered lots of 

them. 

Pic: Delicious ‘shumai.‘

Fun In The Sun

165 

Cyberview Resort & Spa has a very lovely swimming 

pool that flows down two levels into a wading pool. 

This is one of the hot spots for those who like swimming 

and splashing in water. I do too but I needed 

to stay away from the sun as my skin was still raw 

from a bad sunburn sustained during a fishing trip 

two days earlier. 

Pic: The lovely swimming pool.

Other activities that one can participate in include 

fishing at the resorts fishing pond, cycling about with 

the ‘O-bikes’ that can be rented via a mobile app, or 

just simply taking a stroll with a camera around the 

resort’s gardens. 

Pic: Fishing at the resort’s pond. Lots of tilapias here.

167

Fun Away From The Sun

169 

If like me, you need to be away from the sun; there 

are games that one can play such as board games, 

traditional games like congkak, and for the more macho; 

working out one’s muscles at the gym. 

Pic: Beautifully carved congkak board.

Sembunyi Spa

171 

With relaxation being high on the offering, the Sembunyi 

Spa is a must visit. We did that and had an amazing 

relaxing time. The area is cosy and inviting, giving 

it a true spa environment. The fragrance of essential 

oils fill the air as one enters the room for one’s treatment. 

Pic: Flower bath.

Pic: A lovely pool at the Sembunyi Spa. 

173

175 

Remember earlier I wrote about decluttering the 

mind; my mind when into a “Zen” state and felt like 

I was floating on air. Relaxing in the Jacuzzi for a few 

hours and wading amongst the bubbles in the warm 

water was so refreshing. I returned to my room and 

my thoughts were clearer being somewhat stress 

free. 

Pic: The lovely jacuzzi at the Sembunyi Spa.

Saying Goodbye

All good things must come to an end and I felt that my 

stay here was too short but I have other trips planned. 

I will certainly be back again for another holiday and 

bring along some of my foodie friends to savour the 

delicious food here, especially the delightful dim sum.

Other Information 

Cyberview Resort & Spa was built for the purpose of 

hosting the APEC Summit back in 1998. The resort has 

a few luxurious and lovely suites that were designed 

to house heads of states that stayed there during the 

summit. 

I visited some of these suites and I recommend them 

to those who want to be pampered like royalties. They 

come with quality wooden furnishing, plush 4 poster 

beds, a Jacuzzi in the bathroom with 360 degree view 

of the garden outside, and more.

Should you be in the market for an adventure 

camera to shoot stunning videos 

of adventures, and only the best will ever 

do for you; look no further. GoPro has a 

new Hero in town and it comes with the 

number 6. 

In an adrenaline and fun-filled road show 

at the Sunway Pyramid mall, FunSportz 

Sdn Bhd – the exclusive importer and distributor 

of GoPro equipment from the USA 

unveiled HERO6 Black, the most powerful 

and convenient GoPro, yet. 

Powered by GoPro’s custom-designed GP1 

processor, HERO6 achieves an entirely new 

level of performance including stunning 

4K60 and 1080p240 video and the most 

advanced video stabilization ever achieved 

in a GoPro. Additionally, GoPro introduced 

new mounts and accessories plus a new 

Follow mode for its Karma drone. GoPro 

also launched Fusion, its bar-setting waterproof, 

mountable 5.2K spherical camera. 

Fusion will be made available in Malaysia 

at a later date to be announced by 

FunSportz.

GoPro’s founder and CEO, Nicholas Woodman, introduced 

the HERO6 Black and Fusion cameras to 

an international audience at the California Academy 

of Sciences in San Francisco, California. Watch a 

replay of the live event in the video or click the Youtube 

tab below to watch on Youtube. 

“HERO6’s next-level image quality, video stabilization 

and three times faster QuikStories performance 

makes it a powerful storytelling extension of your 

smartphone,” said Woodman. “It’s never been easier 

to live it, then share it…using a GoPro.”

Developed from the ground up to maximize 

a GoPro’s capabilities, GP1 enables 

twice the video frame rates, improved 

image quality, dynamic range, low-light 

performance and dramatically improved 

video stabilization over previous HERO 

camera generations. Importantly, GP1 

automates all of these benefits, allowing 

users to capture vibrant videos and stunning 

photos without messing around 

with complex image settings. GP1 also 

advances GoPro’s capabilities in computer 

vision and machine learning, enabling 

HERO6 to analyze visual scenes and sensor 

data for improved automated QuikStories. 

HERO6 Black is now available in Malaysia 

through authorized dealers.

share short videos of your adventures. HERO6 is
