After getting all the `racuns` from `hantus` among my colleague and MFN( Malaysia Fishing Net) kakis, I've rekindled with my long time laid back hobby. Just that this time, its no longer `jeans with rubberboots, parang tied to the waist with my father's old long sleeve shirt` strolling among the waist long `lalang` or climbing up n down of fallen tree trunks to look for the elusive snakehead(haruan).
Now that I'm "racun`ed" into deep sea fishing, below is the initial setup that i've invested on during the trip to Pulau Tenggol and Kemaman. I've got myself a Shimano Baitrunner 4500B for light bottom/drifting setup as the waters in east coast is not that deep compared to west coast. The 2nd reel that i've got for jigging(bad idea ..too heavy) and multi-tasking(popping, medium casting) was a Banax GT4000 that was recommended by the old timers in MFN. However, I found out that the shaft has started rusting after only 3 trips. I've decided to keep this reel as a backup for popping and medium jigging trips. More to come on my new toys this year hehehe.
