- Small which makes it easy to carry on a trip with you.
- Light
- Easy to use - simple and easy to understand command buttons
- The hook can be stored into the back of the unit so it doesn't get in the way in transport or storage.


Cons: The battery compartment covers does not lock in place very firmly so it can fall off.

I'll bring it tml on my local offshore trip :)

We went for belt fishing again

Nothing special yesterday night me , mondo and ibr went to the beltfish spot again, too bad SH can't join us this time. We was there at about 8.30pm up rising tide.

First lure of the night i used was a full lumo Aile Magnet within about 20 cast the lure had full of small teeth marks all over it. The teeth of the beltfish was so scary.... . We found out that they take surface lures only and once you feel a tab strike it as most of the time they will just tab and go, leaving only teeth marks on your lure if you dont try to set it.

Strikeing it give you a higher change of hooking it.

Total we got 5 beltfish all was killed for baits this coming friday offshore trip

We were there again with belt fish frenzy

Went to sleep after the trip from yesterday night at 6.30am this morning and I was woked up by my neighbour 10 mins ago which is 11am. Do not know what the hell are they doing hahaha.

After the trip on saturday night i think its worth to go back again so together me ,sh and mondo met up at about 12 plus am and head straight to the location, keke this time i'm with all my killer lures for kims. Btw the place was also a mosquito paradise insect repellent is a must have thingy hahaha even with the repellent on they still get you. The whole night you will see them flying in front your face zooming around your ear.. scary sia......

Anyway on my first few cast with my Maria XJ mullet colour 115 i had a take but i lost the fish, might be due to a un-proper hook setting. After that the 3 of us kept having mysterious tabs and had small teeth marks on our lures, first tot was small barracudas but the mystery solved finally after i got the first fish of the night landed. Its was a Hairtail aka beltfish .

Oh.... lol its you ar......

Last night fishing trip

Nowadays fishing has been hard for me, spots are getting lesser so now what we can do is try harder at old common spots around us that we knew. Yesterday night me , sh and mondo went for a trip at the salt a spot which many has been before. We reach location about 1 plus am and slowly walk our way in, we bumped into a malay uncle along to way.

He was kinda friendly in the first place hahaha maybe from our wear and equipment he knew we are lure anglers.

He asked: You all using rapala ar?

Lol straight away i knew what he meant kekeke cos this was not the first time i encounter this. Most uncle will call lures as rapala, to them rapala equal to lures.

So i told him ya we using rapala lol

We looked around for awhile and the malay uncle show us some guide and recommended us to go the other end. We took his advice and walked deeper in , a few more anglers was there fishing with long rods parking along the breakers. So tot of trying it out for awhile, after a few cast i accidentally crossed one of the rod on my right hand side with my one and only Maria The first XJ 115 redhead. I told the malay angler that i crossed his line but he don't even bother to crank in and undo it he just kept swinging his rod and line up and down trying to swing my lure off.

But well lucky thing is he manage to swing my lure off.

Is my bad of crrossing his line but i don't think its nice of being so unfriendly to me. He crank his rod back and casted right in front of us!!!...

Anyway i don't even wanna bother about that lol as we are more worry about the rain clouds and lightningS above us. After a few more cast at that area we decided to move back to the location that we met the "first friendly malay uncle we bumped into".

The clouds are moving fast scary ........

While we were casting mondo asked me something about a floating objects not far away from shore

"hmmm alan what was that huh?"

Oh .. i think its an floating boi or something like that la...

So he went back casting lol but he crossed his lure with the "first friendly malay uncle" Line, ater undoing the crossed lines mondo moved away and went beside me.

Cast..................

next moment lol

Oh shit , oh shit i kena the boi liao , gone liao gone liao me fav roges gone liao.

I'm still fishing beside him with my dark colour 5inch still hunt bumping the bottom , suddenly i feel a bump on my line and a pull hahaha i set my rod kinda hard as i tot it was a grouper and at the same time my drag setting was high too .

The fish has no chance of taking any lines at all and start to roll on the surface lol then i found out it was actually a small barramundi aka kim.

Who say full moon night fish not biteing? :X

SH helped me on the photos taking after that i released the fish back into the water.....

A funny thing happened after i released the fish kekeke this time SH crossed the"first friendly malay uncle" line but this time was not our fault lol SH was very sure that he casted his lure straight. I belif while we are taking photos the malay uncle casted his line to where i hitted the fish hahahaha so crossing his line is not our fault.

The first friendly uncle no long friendly anymore

LOL this show how kiasu singaporeans are.


Anyway..... it started to rain for awhile lol so we went for our early breakfast at 4am.

Round 2 in the morning to LSR was bad it rain again but lucky me and SH got disposable raincoat with us kekeke , mondo did not go for round 2 as he got something on kekeke. Lucky he went home if not "smiley....."

I only mange to land a small pb but no pics taken.

I'M STILL UNABLE TO BREAK THE 2KG MARK!!!

Having problems on lures not swimming straightly?

That means you may need to tune your lures abit. Reason that cos it might be due to lure eyelet was bent from impact or the stress of fighting a fish etc.... Once the eyelet was bent or damage it might just swim either to the left or right and tend to surface out of the water at a speed.


How to tune your lure?

Tuning are simple by just using a pair of plier and bend the eyelet slowly

Photobucket

If the lure tracks LEFT, bend eyelet to the right.
If the lure tracks RIGHT, bend the eyelet to the left

re-test the lure each time until it swims straight. It's a matter of fine adjustments until alignment is achieved.
