Accidentally Ryobi AP Power 8000

Below are the particular :

Gear Ratio : 5.0 : 1
Max. Drag Power : 10 kg
Weight : 595 g
Ball Bearings : 6
Line Capacity : 0.405mm - 230 m

The story begins.......I went out for lunch with my colleague. After having a wonderful meals + 'giant' glass (sebesar selipar) coconut juice, I drop by at regular fishing outlet (the 2nd Malay fishing retailer in Kuantan). With RM400 in my pocket (I planned to pay for my loan....he2), I was amazed with the solid looking and 'corporate' grey colour of the reel in the glass rack. Take a look, hold & spinning for a few moment, without thinking any further....I paid RM170.00 to the 'tauke'....and that's what I got. The best thing is, it was already equipped with aluminium power knob (not in the picture) which I liked most. Another problem is, what kind of line & poundage I want to fill to the spool...hmmm. Power-pro braided....so expensive, imagine RM200++ for 200-300m....This is what we called....Malay Dilemma.

2010 targets!

Salam,

I've decided to reparticipate in the fishing tournament starting with 1st Round GP Joran @ Kuala Pahang, Pekan this coming 10 & 11th April. With a new friends from Pancing Net portal, I wish to get a good knowledges from 'otai-otai' especially in handling & managing the big fish. Although my equipments is not as complete & expensive as the other 'otai', but at least I can learn new experience from them. I just bought my latest rod, it's only 6'6" Lemax Night Eagle which cost me around RM80.00. I'll suit it to my existing Banax Triton which I normally used for surfcasting. The other set will be Abu Soron ST60 (also brand new) reel match to my old 5'6" Fenwick Eagle (it was just a coincident although both rods named by the famous eagle). Hopefully this trip will be the beginning of my meaningful life after having difficulties & headaches during working days lately. I really need full support from my lovely wife & children in everything I done.

3 months 'missing in action'

It was almost 3 months since my last post and it was already in a year of 2010. 3 months without any updates while waiting for the monsoon season to be over meaning that in that period of time, there is no fishing activities ever. Today, in a month of March 2010, while the monsoon seems to be over (I guess) in a couple of weeks ahead, my plan is to sharpen my skills & weapons before dive into more serious 'war' between me and sun, waves, wind, patient, dissappointment, failure and so on. Early this year, I have bought a brand new set (rod & reel) for light action fishing. I was 'poisoned' by an interesting article (promotion/ads???) in a fishing magazine which was seriously promoted the durability & goodness of their products with a truly attracting proof.....Siakap. Not long after I got my monthly salary, I rushed to my favourite fishing store, made some deal and ended up smiling with Hemingway SMA30 + 30lb 'Ayam Brand' braided line and Spartan Rod...thanks to MGFA successful promotion and I've lost RM220 to the 'taukeh'.
