Big rubber small grouper

Yesterday me ,sh and ibr went for a shout trip to a location that will be gone real soon, current yesterday was slow at that area sh spotted quite a number of prawns along the breakers and a small grouper hiding under a pvc pipe. after snapping up our lure and rubber we started casting, i had some chase on the 5 inch still hunt but they were all small ones.

But i manage to hit a small grouper on the 5 inch still hunt with slow crank + light twitch along the side of the breaker

Hot sunny day

Yesterday early in the morning met up with Ibr and yuki mondo for breakfast and head off to Lure's Graveyard. When we reach the mosquitoes and sandy was happy to see us lol and start feeding on us, till now my legs are so itch. After setting up everything and putting on some insect repellent we started casting, on this trip i told myself no to use any hard lures

hahaha you know what? i did not bring any hard lures for the trip kekeke

I'll just concentrate on rubbers only.

yuki mondo saw a badly injured 1 kg size kim stuck in the shallow , water was going down if we were not there to safe him he might be dead for sure. We bring it up and released the fish back to the sea, at least he had a chance now. LOL we name the fish Pinky.

Pinky seems like do not wanna leave us he just kept swimming around us for the whole day hahaha

After quite awhile of casting suddenlly ibr shouted " oh shit oh shit i cast my lure to a shallow danger zone i lost my sobat there before oh shit " lifting up his rod high and fast cranking the lure back, that was not the funniest part lol on the way back a fish intend to take his lure fish turn and got myself fool hooked on his back.

A nice kilo size kim

After helping ibr on some photos taking i went back to his spot and casted right into the danger zone that he cought the kim. Once my white still hunt touch water i close my bail arm WTH goal keeper sia... fish took the still hunt while it sinks. Oh shit oh shit my turn to say that lol fish was swimming into the structure very nearby i pump and pump try to stop the fish from swimming in but .... sad.... the hook came off.

After the lost everything seems to quiet down weather was so damn hot so we call it a day after awhile and head down to beach rd for kopi.

Basically it is a cheap and good stuff to have, i dont see much diff from those branded ones :X.

Don't be brand conscious and only go for some good brands. Of course there is a point there,SOME branded items do ensure quality to a certain extent. SOME of those well known brands have quality and standard. Or some might be quality conscious, getting the branded ones also for the quality of the materials.

Remember........This

but that does not mean the others does not have standards and quality as well. Dont be a blind brand followers there are still cheap and good stuff out there with the same quality materials.

Of course some cheap brands totally can't make it :X

Why do some need or want those branded items? Do they really know what they are paying for? Do they really love the items or they just want people to love what they have?

Well just some of my personal views sometimes you might be paying a higher price for the same thing, anyway this knob will last me quite awhile till i totally forgotten when did i bought it
