My fellow anglers and friends,

Oh! What a month it has been. A month of travel madness, amonth I wished had more days, a really crazy month. I knowI am not alone when I talk about needing more days, wishinga day had more than the 24 hours granted us, but I believe, truly believe that this is something quite healthy for both person and the economy.

This month we did quite a lot of fishing and met up with lots of anglers sharing stories, meals, and fishing tackle. What’s so good about this is that as anglers we get along well despite race, religious believes, and whatever bollocks the powers that be have been spreading during their political crap talk. But if what “toxic” they spew were true, then the sport of fishing is indeed the healer and peace maker for such issues.

Well, fishing is indeed a great sport. It not only can bring about peace and frienship, it is also good for one’s health. We tend to spend a lot of time in the office and children these days tend to spend more time indoors playing with electrical gadgets. If you have kids, I highly recommend that you share with them the joys of fishing. It will open up their minds, give them the opportunity to breath clean fresh air, and get some natural vitamin D from the sun.

The World Cup 2014 will be starting soon. Football fever will be hitting and soon nor-mally crowded fishing holes will be empty. Here is a good opportunity to do some fish-ing should you dislike fighting for fishing spots. If you are not a football fan don’t let this slip. Do as much fishing as you can as the next opportunity will only come again in 4 years.

Anyway,I shall not distract you too much from your reading. Remember to always enjoy fishing, practise catch, photograph, and release, and share The Asian Angler with your friends. Thank you for your support and tight lines.

Cheers,PhilEditor In Chief

Viper Venom RodsBy Philemon Foo

Viper Venom rods have been proven to be good rods and well worth the money. Recently I was invited to test them out the new Viper Venom Light Jigging rods around the waters of Pe-manggil Island (an island on the east coast of the Malaysian Peninsular).

Page 13: The Asian Angler - June 2014 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

The Viper Venom looks good in a humble way. It is not too over “blinged up” with too many fashionable accesso-ries nor is it too “plain Jane.” It is de-signed just nice, enough to look good and sway hearts. They come in humble white colored blanks, with gun metal greyish section at where the label and brand sits.

Humble Good

25

Page 14: The Asian Angler - June 2014 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

The Viper Venom rods use a mixture of 24 ton & 30 ton graphite to give it good absorption qualities of which is needed when a brute of a fish take the jig and makes a sudden dash. A lot of rods with such flexibility tend to lack power but the Viper Venom doesn’t. This is where its 30 ton part takes over.

Page 15: The Asian Angler - June 2014 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

The Viper Venom comes with EVA handles that are compact (probably hypalon) with diameter just enough to give a comfortable grip. The rear handle on the split rear section wears a modest ring giving it a touch of class.

Page 16: The Asian Angler - June 2014 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

The Venom comes with standard SIC K Guides that manages the lines well with the ability to give a smooth enough glide during battles while the ACS reel seat grips the reel in place without movements of which is fantastic espe-cially while jigging.

Different EVA handle configuration. The micro jig model comes with full rear EVA handle.

For the Viper Venom, we did not have the opportunity to test it at our lab however we put it through the furnace during our field test. It was two full days of jigging light jigs ranging from 18 grams to 20 over grams and I did go all the way up to 60 grams when the currents picked up.

Field test Out

At Sea

33

Page 18: The Asian Angler - June 2014 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

Jigging light jigs out at sea during our field test proved that the Viper Venom is classed well. The one I used is clas-sified PE1-3 with the ability to jig 20 grams to 100 grams jig. While we didn’t need to go all the way to 100 grams, the rod did well keeping me in contact with the jigs throughout.

Sporting Character

35

Page 19: The Asian Angler - June 2014 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

The Viper Venom is built light like most sporty rods and is well bal-anced. This lightness allows one to jig the whole day without feeling too tired. Managing the weight of the jig and pressure of the water is one thing, managing the weight of the rod is an-other. Being lightweight certainly adds points to this rod.

Light & Well

Balanced

37

Page 20: The Asian Angler - June 2014 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

The Viper Venom truly comes to live during battles and it is during one of the battles with a brute that the Vi-per Venom really shone. I was jigging slowly when a brute decided to whack the jig and the rod did a serious bend. It was when I began to pump that I felt the power of the rod flexing its mus-cles.

The blank managed the fight well con-stantly flexing its muscles to recover from the bend; fighting hard to return to its original stance and in a short time a brute of a queenfish (talang) weighing in at about 7kg was subdued. The power it had outshone its good looks and makes this rod a noble arse-nal to have and behold.

Power to Lift

39

Page 21: The Asian Angler - June 2014 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

A good number of hard fighting fishes were subdued and the new Viper Ven-om managed every battle well. I am certainly impressed by its performance. This New Viper Venom may look hum-ble but its performance is by no means humble. Performance wise it is indeed a brute.

Penn Conflict ReelPower RedefinedBy Philemon Foo

Penn is well known for its salt-water fishing rods and reels and recently we had the opportunity to toy around with one of its pow-erhouse reel, the Penn Conflict. In the world of superheroes, the Penn Conflict will have to be In-credible Hulk.

45

Page 24: The Asian Angler - June 2014 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

Solid Design

The Penn Conflict is not green with purple pants of course but design wise, it speaks solidity, power, and toughness. It even has the bodybuilding barbells “tattooed” on it. It is a reel that throws confidence freely and thus wouldn’t mind a conflict.

47

Page 25: The Asian Angler - June 2014 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

Thick Muscles

Its bail arm wire is thick of which further enhances its muscular stance. More importantly is that it is tough and will take a beat-ing and yet still not bend. Its bail arm is super solid with no flex of which is great during battles.

49

Page 26: The Asian Angler - June 2014 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

Weight Loss

The Penn Conflict is built really tough and solid. Weight would have been an issue and like most reel manufacturers, holes have to be made to reduce its weight. Most holes are made at non vulnerable sections of the reel such as the spool.

51

Page 27: The Asian Angler - June 2014 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

Big Holes In Spool

The Penn Conflict shed weight at its spool too. Penn decided to cut out big holes the shape of its logo’s outline around its non vul-nerable part of the spool instead of going with the tiny holes that many brands go with.

53

Page 28: The Asian Angler - June 2014 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

Matt Black Is In

These large holes further en-hance the look of power that has been the main focal point of its design. Its body is matt black and it spool is gun metal brown, all colors that are at the opposite spectrum of gentleness. It’s all about toughness, power, and sol-idness.

55

Page 29: The Asian Angler - June 2014 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

Smooth

Performer

When it comes to reels in this category, smoothness tend to be less important. However, the Penn Conflict is a smooth and well balanced reel. There are smoother reels of course if you’re willing to pay the price but for the Conflict, it certainly surpasses general smoothness standards.

57

Page 30: The Asian Angler - June 2014 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

Lab Test

Having the Conflict in hand we just had to put it through a torture test in our lab. We are no gentle lab rats and when we torture, we do our best at putting every reel, rod, hook, etc. through its pace but with controlled common-sense.

59

Page 31: The Asian Angler - June 2014 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

Powerful & Fast

The Conflict comes with power-ful gears that felt really solid. One can feel the punch with the turn of the handle. It comes with a commendable gear ratio of 6.2:1 of which is similar to what you get on some of the more expen-sive reels.

61

Page 32: The Asian Angler - June 2014 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

Pressure Test

(Drag Smoothness)

While the drag is smooth all reel drags have a limit until which they become jerky or sticky, and then they lock up. We tested the size 4000 Conflict of which boasts a max drag of 15lb. We managed to drive it all the way to 16.4lb be-fore it drag smoothness started diminishing.

63

Page 33: The Asian Angler - June 2014 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

Pressure Test

(Max Drag)

Further tightening up the drag the Conflict surpassed its claims of 15lb max drag and almost hit 21lb during the pressure test an impressive figure for a size 4000 reel. What also important is that the reel remain intact with noth-ing giving way.

65

Page 34: The Asian Angler - June 2014 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

Field Test

We tested the Conflict at the Ex-otic Pond (a commercial fishing pond) to further torture it with the many gladiator brutes that lie in wait for some fishing tackle to destroy. After many fishes the conflict wasn’t even tickled. We then took it to another pond said to have lots of Mekong Catfish. Again no fish stood up to it.

67

Page 35: The Asian Angler - June 2014 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

Fish Management

We then decided to test the Con-flict our at sea in Pekan (east coast of the Malaysian Peninsu-lar) and we were fighting brutes in the form of diamond trevallies. The Conflict again proved to be overkill. It is like it didn’t really flex its muscles. Perhaps now you understand why I liken it to the Incredible Hulk.

Verdict

The Penn Conflict stood up to every test and made it all look too easy. It is indeed a powerhouse of a reel, the Incredible Hulk of a reel, a reel that seems to just wipe out any gladiators and/or brutes that has taken up the fight. If this is the kind of reel you like, the kind of battle you enjoy, this reel is for you.

Rod Ford Ryojin By Philemon Foo

I have wanted to have a go at the Ryo-jin reel for many months now and the Ryojin reel has since been eluding me until recently I had the opportunity to fish with it and to experience firsthand its performance. I felt like I’ve been handed the keys to the bat mobile.

Something Out Of

Gotham

73

Page 38: The Asian Angler - June 2014 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

When it comes to design, I must say that the Ryojin ticks all my boxes. It is sporty, rebellious, has lots of holes, and is solid matt black. Doesn’t it remind you of the cape crusaders car? The dark knight’s mobile? The one that makes Ferraris look normal? I love the design of the Ryojin.

Fantastic Design

75

Page 39: The Asian Angler - June 2014 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

The Ryojin doesn’t only look tough. It is built tough. It is solid reel that will not flex under pressure. Its rotor is strong and solid. Under heavy pres-sure the Ryojin remains cool and calm, probably cooler than a cucumber.

The Ryojin feels like a full metal reel ready to take on any brutes that want to have a go. It is also a reel made for all types of waters of which would ba-sically be freshwater and saltwater, we did our test in saltwater.

Built Tough

77

Page 40: The Asian Angler - June 2014 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

Yes, the Ryojin doesn’t just look good. It performs well too. It has a very smooth drag even at higher drag set-tings that did great in managing the brutal force of a good size queenfish. The brute ran and the drag did its job really well tiring out the fish without any sticky feeling.

Smooth Silk Wise

79

Page 41: The Asian Angler - June 2014 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

The Ryojin has a strong drag to take on most brutes. Having a smooth and strong drag is important especially when you have a merciless brute on the other end of the line. Hats off to the Ryojin of which will shame many other reels within its price range

Drag Of Muscles

81

Page 42: The Asian Angler - June 2014 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

One issue with spinning reels is line twist of which happens during re-trieve. The Ryojin handled it really well and the lines remained in good form throughout the fishing trip. The smooth bearing of the anti line twist roller I believe performed really well.

Reduced Line Twist

83

Page 43: The Asian Angler - June 2014 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

The Ryojin has good cranking power and the fat power handle knob bears testament to wants inside. The Ryojin can take the torture thanks to both its gears (of which I am guessing by put-ting one and one together) and its thick main shaft that supports the spool well.

Cranking Power

85

Page 44: The Asian Angler - June 2014 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

This is where the Ryojin shines. The clicker makes a loud enough noise to excite everyone on the boat. With the fish running, the screaming Ryojin just takes the heat (my aching forearms too) and tires the fish out quite speed-ily. Playing the fish also take less effort thanks to its cranking prowess.

Fish Management

87

Page 45: The Asian Angler - June 2014 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

I am not sure how much pressure it can really take as I did not have the oppor-tunity to bring it to our lab to do the necessary tests but from what I have experienced, the Ryojin certainly did very well. If Batman were an angler this will probably be his “bat reel.” As for me, I seriously want one.

Abu Garcia Ocean ProjectJigging Rods By Philemon Foo

With light jigging picking up speed, more brands are churning out tackle for this game. Not to be left out, Abu Garcia recently introduced the Abu Garcia Ocean Project Light Jigging rod. We took one back and spent some time with it..

Light Jigging Fun

93

Page 48: The Asian Angler - June 2014 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

The Ocean Project is designed well. It comes with a dark blank, dark blue, brand section, light blue, specifica-tion section, and metallic blue threads of which all depicts the colors of the ocean. It also uses blue/black carbon fibre wrap at its handle section giving it some sportiness.

Designed With Oceans

In Mind

95

Page 49: The Asian Angler - June 2014 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

The Ocean Project Light Jigging rod is light weight but may not be the lightest light jigging rod around. The designer of the rod used a kind of magic called “the act of balancing” to reduce the weight of the rod thus it feels lighter when placed at fishing position of which is parallel to the ground.

The Magic Of Balancing

97

Page 50: The Asian Angler - June 2014 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

The handle on the Ocean Project is EVA with a split rear. The handle that sits right at the back is designed in such a way that when clipped between the arm and chest, the rod does not twist or rotate easily of which makes jigging more comfortable.

EVA Handles

99

Page 51: The Asian Angler - June 2014 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

The Ocean Project Light Jigging rod is a butt jointed or what the industry calls offset jointed rod. This allows the blank to curve in an even and nice curve without any uneven or odd looking sections. It also has a thick blank wall which gives it better power and tough-ness with a bit of a sacrifice in the form of weight.

Offset Jointed

101

Page 52: The Asian Angler - June 2014 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

While it looks good and all, we needed to see if it will be able to meet all speci-fications specified. To do so we brought it to our torture chambers (lab) to see how it faired.

Lab Testing

103

Page 53: The Asian Angler - June 2014 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

The Ocean Project Light Jigging rod, although a light jigging rod, contains good amounts of muscles. It has a backbone of up to 70% of the rod blank giving it the needed power to manage most fishes. It is rated PE2.0 with the ability to handle up to 20lb of force.

Backbone Power

105

Page 54: The Asian Angler - June 2014 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

With 20lb being the target we put the Ocean Project Light Jigging rod through its pace. Bit by bit we in-creased the pressure. At about 18lb, cracking noises started appearing and honestly we were somewhat worried. However, we decided to press on and stop the very second the meter touched 20lb. The Ocean Project remained in one piece and it met its 20lb specifica-tion quite scarily.

Pressure Testing

107

Page 55: The Asian Angler - June 2014 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

Well, The Abu Garcia Ocean Project Light Jigging rod looks good, is light-weight, well balanced, and it does what it says it does. It is a good rod but in the current light jigging rod landscape, it certainly faces stiff competition.

Note: We took it out to sea but did not catch anything on it. What we learn is it can cast pretty well.

VFOX Magical JigBy Philemon Foo

Light jigging and all the fuss about it created a new segment in our sport of fishing some years ago and is a fun game to play. With light jigging shifting into higher gears we found ourselves testing jigs as well. One of them is the VFOX Magical Jig.

What’s The Fuss About?

111

Page 57: The Asian Angler - June 2014 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

The VFOX Magical Jig comes in simple jig designs and ripped body. They are designed to dive down fast thanks to its slim body design. This is great as we don’t have to wait too long before we start jigging.

Simple Designs

113

Page 58: The Asian Angler - June 2014 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

What I like most about them is that they are shiny with certain models looking somewhat like anchovies of which are a plus as they (anchovies) make up part of certain predator fish’s diet such as small tuna and juvenile queenfish that took one of my jigs dur-ing a feeding frenzy.

Looks Like Food

115

Page 59: The Asian Angler - June 2014 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

Some models have luminous strips which make them good jigs to use in deeper waters of which I had the ben-efit of losing two of these jigs to some predator that broke the line. Well, I lost two jigs but at least I know that they work.

Luminous Stripes

117

Page 60: The Asian Angler - June 2014 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

The VFOX Magical Jig I used man-aged to catch a few kilogram size grou-pers and a small diamond trevally of about 2kg. Our tester in Sabah landed a queenfish (Talang) with them too dur-ing a fishing competition.

Catching Fish

119

Page 61: The Asian Angler - June 2014 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

The VFOX Magical Jig may look sim-ple but they are effective. They dive fast and they can be jigged fast. What’s more important is that they catch fish and they are friendly to the pocket. These jigs are worth a place in your tackle box.

Verdict

Introducin’

Ofmer Zambug Lure By Philemon Foo

When it comes to lures, the good guys at Ofmer realized one thing. They realized that there are many lures in the market and they really need to be good in order to stand out from the other many good lures.

125

Page 64: The Asian Angler - June 2014 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

Mark Of The Zambug

With this in mind Ofmer did two things. First they worked on a really good lure. Next they de-signed the eyes of the lures to be different than other lures as such you can know that it is an Ofmer lure when you look at the eyes. These provocative eyes are found on the Zambug.

127

Page 65: The Asian Angler - June 2014 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

Splashing Walker

The Zambug lures are top water walkers with a twist. Notice that the front of the lure resembles the front of a popper. No it is not a popper. However, it makes a little splash like what a pop-per does on every slide. It goes like splash – slide, splash –slide, splash slide...

129

Page 66: The Asian Angler - June 2014 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

Back Heavy

The Zambug lures are back heavy. This makes them easy casting lures reducing line tan-gles during the flight of the lure (where the line gets caught up in the hooks). This also gives it the best flight position as it is more aerodynamic gliding through the skies back fisrt.

131

Page 67: The Asian Angler - June 2014 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

Tail Sitting Low

Being weighted more at the tail end, the Zambug sits on the sur-face of the water, stationary, with its tail below. This makes for an attractive meal to some of the tail loving predators that hunt beneath the water’s surface.

133

Page 68: The Asian Angler - June 2014 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

Specifications

The Zambug comes in 10 colors and this first batch will be avail-able in 65cm and weighing 8.4 grams. There may be more varia-tions in the future depending on the Ofmer. But right now we’ve got these varieties to go out and trick some fishes.

More and more anglers are using braided or PE lines these days and braided lines are not the easiest to cut with normal scissors (although possible with a little more effort) thus we find more scissors and cut-ters for braided line and this VFOX PE Line Dedicated Scissors is one of them.

The one we were given to test had bright orange handles and black colored blades. Orange handles are great as they are easily seen.

The VFOX PE Line Dedicated Scis-sors comes with serrated blades of which makes cutting braided lines or PE lines much easier and neater than normal scissors. The blades are also made of stainless steel giving them better protection from the elements.

Serrated Blades

Page 72: The Asian Angler - June 2014 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

There are holes strategically placed on the blades as well as the handle. These holes can be use with split rings or snaps of which can then be secured to a cord or something, connecting the scissors to a belt, tackle box, etc. so that it doesn’t go missing during fishing trips.

Holes For Securing...

143

Page 73: The Asian Angler - June 2014 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

The handles feel very much like those fond on a pair of good qual-ity scissors. They feel well built al-lowing the thumb and pointer finger to sit in them snugly. This is great especially when one is on a moving boat and needs to give one’s braid-ed lines a quick nip.

Comfortable Feeling

145

The VFOX PE Line Dedicated Scissors work really well and is well worth the money. Should you be in the market for a braided line cutting scissors, do consider get-ting this.

Understanding Fishing Rods Part 13Rod Handles - EVABy Philemon Foo

Knowledge Wise

Last issue we took a look at how fishing rod handles affect fishing rods as well as a bit on the different types of rod handles. Let us now go deeper into the realm of rod handles, exploring the different types of handles in more details. For now we take a look at EVA handles.

149

Page 76: The Asian Angler - June 2014 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

If you’ve got a few fishing rods sitting on your rod rack, chances are that some of them come with EVA handles. EVA of which is short for Ethylene Vinyl Acetate is a rubbery spongy like material that is commonly found in most fishing rods. EVA comes in a va-riety of colors with black being the norm.

EVA is used in both freshwater and saltwater rods as they are re-sistant to UV, heat, saltwater, etc. Do note that there is also a mate-rial that is very closely related to EVA called Hypalon of which is more compact and harder than EVA. In this article, EVA will be used to represent it as well.

EVA

151

Page 77: The Asian Angler - June 2014 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

EVA simply makes great handles. EVA handles have lots of ben-efits over other handles such as cork handles making them one of the most widely used materi-als on fishing rods. Let us take a look at some of the advantages and disadvantages.

Why EVA?

153

Page 78: The Asian Angler - June 2014 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

EVA rod handles are tough. They can take a beating and still re-main intact. They can take on heat from the sun, salty sedi-ments from seawater, and even the torture of rod holders. That is one of the reasons why heavy duty boat rod handles are almost always made of EVA.

Tough & Long Lasting

155

Page 79: The Asian Angler - June 2014 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

Cork handles tend to dry out and crack. With fish slime and other stuffs from baits, etc. cork han-dles turn into feast for insects. EVA handles on the other hand do not dry out and crack, and they certainly do not turn into a cookie for insects as with cork handles.

Insects Do Not Like Eating EVA

157

Page 80: The Asian Angler - June 2014 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

EVA needs lesser maintenance and they are easier to clean. As anglers we hold fish and other slimy stuffs and slime get trans-ferred onto our rod handles. Fish slime and other gooey things can be washed out eas-ily and even brushed out without causing damage.

Easy Maintenance

159

Page 81: The Asian Angler - June 2014 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

Unlike cork EVA is cheaper and thus helps bring the cost of fish-ing rods down. Of course that does not mean that the savings in cost actually drives retail pric-es lower. A reduction in the cost of the handle also means that better accessories can be used such as better quality guides, etc. by transferring the saved cost over.

Lower Cost

161

Page 82: The Asian Angler - June 2014 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

EVA doesn’t necessary have to be black in color. They can be in almost any color and design that you want. You can have them in blue, red, yellow, even striped, with drawings, or in camouflage colors or military styled colors. Such versatility adds to the de-sign of a rod series’ theme.

Can Be Colored

163

Page 83: The Asian Angler - June 2014 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

EVA handles can be sculpted without breaking of which is one of the disadvantages of using cork. EVA handles can be shaved thin, sculpted to fit hands, etc. without having to worry too much about breakage. This also means that although EVA is gen-erally heavier than cork, it can be shaved thinner to be lighter.

EVA Can Be Sculpted

165

Page 84: The Asian Angler - June 2014 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

The Disadvantages

EVA tends to get slippery when wet especially when fishing in the rain or out at sea where wa-ter splashes; as it soaks up wa-ter. I for one have accidentally dropped a rod into the sea due to the slipperiness of the EVA han-dle.

Slippery When Wet

167

Page 85: The Asian Angler - June 2014 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

Well, there is a reduction in sen-sitivity as cork transmits vibra-tion better than EVA. Note that with modern rod and reel seat designs; this may soon be a point that can be thrown into the bin. For now it still is relevant.

Reduced Sensitivity

169

Page 86: The Asian Angler - June 2014 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

EVA is heavier if we compare it to cork of the same size, length, and design. However, the ben-efits far outweigh the disadvan-tages and furthermore EVA can be shaved down to bring the weight to that of cork handles or lower of which cannot be done on cork handles to save weight.

Weighs More Than Cork

171

Page 87: The Asian Angler - June 2014 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

EVA handles are the norm these days and the benefits far out-weigh the disadvantages. Fur-thermore it is cost effective to use them and they last re-ally long. I have rods with EVA handles dating back to the 70s where the EVA handles have out-lived the rod guides. If you want a rod to last that long, EVA han-dles are the way to go.

Fishing With Soft Plastics: Part 12Soft Plastics: Caring For ThemBy Philemon Foo

A few weeks ago one of our read-ers asked why his soft plastic baits tend to melt. He isn’t alone as there are a lot of people who have decided to drop using soft plastic baits because of this. He (our reader) mentioned that the soft plastics that were kept togeth-er with other lures damaged those lures as well. If you’ve been a vic-tim, this article is for you.

Skill Enhancers

175

Page 89: The Asian Angler - June 2014 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

Soft plastic baits are made of plastics and plastics are made using various chemicals in the process (I will not go into details as it will take a very long article to do so). Different plastics use different chemicals and sometimes when two different plastics come to-gether and the chemicals used in both plastics meet, they start reacting to each other. This is why they melt.

Why Do They Melt???

177

Page 90: The Asian Angler - June 2014 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

So how does one store soft plastic baits? Well, it is quite easy. The best place to keep them is in the same pack-aging that they came in. The reason for this is because the manufacturer knows which plastics to use and they package their baits in them.

Keeping Them Safe

179

Page 91: The Asian Angler - June 2014 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

Another safe way to store them is to use re-sealable sandwich bags that can be purchased at supermarkets. What I always do just before heading out to fish is to take a few soft plastic baits out of their original packing and place them in sandwich bags. The unused ones after the trip will then be left in these sandwich bags according to brand and color. I do not mix them.

Sandwich Bag

181

Page 92: The Asian Angler - June 2014 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

Those With Liquid ScentSome soft plastic baits come in tubs filled with liquid scent such as Berk-ley’s Gulp! Alive. For these baits it is best to remove what you need from the tub and place them in a re-sealable sandwich bag with about a tea spoon of liquid.

183

Page 93: The Asian Angler - June 2014 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

Storing Used Soft BaitsFor such soft baits it is best to discard the used ones as they may contain par-asites that will attack the unused soft plastic baits. But if you insist of keep-ing them (only for a few days as they may turn mouldy), store them in sepa-rate sandwich bags together with other used ones of the same kind.

Make it a habit to always separate your used soft baits even if they do not come scented. The main reason being para-sites and other unwelcomed opportun-ists hitching a ride or feeding on them. If they get mixed up with new ones they will spread and destroy them as well.

185

Page 94: The Asian Angler - June 2014 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

It is not recommended to keep soft plastics of different colors and even different brands together as they may react to each other staining each other and sometimes melting. Well, unless you intend for colors to mix and stain each other out of creative purposes, never mix them.

No Mixing

187

Page 95: The Asian Angler - June 2014 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

Storing In Tackle BoxesStoring them in tackle boxes can be risky. I admit that I do store some of my soft baits in tackle boxes but they have been proven safe for soft baits. If you are unsure and still prefer to store your soft baits in tackle boxes, store them in sandwich bags first before keeping them in your tackle box.

One of my older tackle boxes that reacted to my soft plastic baits.

189

Page 96: The Asian Angler - June 2014 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

Soft Plastics And Hard LuresNever ever store soft plastic baits with other plastic lures (hard bodied). Chances of them reacting to each other are on the high. Damage is almost guaranteed to happen. Hard plastic lures have melted. I have seen hard plastic lures moulted to soft plastic baits. Don’t store them together. Keep them safely apart.

191

Page 97: The Asian Angler - June 2014 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

ConclusionThere you go. If you have been frustrat-ed with soft baits before because of bad storage, I hope this article has helped you understand why it happened and perhaps coax you back to using soft plastic baits as they are really effective baits for fishing. Well, I hope this helps.

Abu Garcia Salty Stage Light Jigging Does PekanBy Philemon Foo

A few issues (November 2013 is-sue) ago we featured the Abu Gar-cia Salty Stage Light Jigging rod and recently we had the oppor-tunity to put it into action again. This time the Salty Stage Light Jigging rod saw action in the wa-ters of Pekan (coastal waters on the east coast of the Malaysian peninsular).

In Action

195

Page 99: The Asian Angler - June 2014 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

Fun To Play WithThe Abu Garcia Salty Stage Light Jig-ging rod in all of its sporty looking glory jigged light jigs really well keep-ing us in contact with the jig. It cast the jigs out really well too with its whippy tip. I was casting out 20gram jigs to frenzy feeding tongkol (tuna species). Unfortunately I didn’t catch anything on the Salty Stage Light Jigging rod.

197

Page 100: The Asian Angler - June 2014 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English

Chemistry Maybe...However, when the rod was handed to Ming of Pure Fishing Malaysia and within minutes it bent and he was in battle with a brute. The battle lasted about 5 minutes and up came a dia-mond trevally. I guess chemistry be-tween rod and owner made magic. Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps.

199

Satisfaction Graph

Ooh! Since no one was using the Salty Stage I de-cided to play with it

Jigs really well; constant connection with jig

No fish, no hits, quiet

No hits... sigh... hand rod over to Ming

Minutes later rod bents

Battle ensues and the Salty Stage is tortured

About 5 minutes later Salty Stage wins

equipment, as well as their latest products and information, all under one roof.

Held in the easily accessible and well-equipped Shah Alam Convention Centre, this year’s Angling & Outdoor Recreational will, as in last year, offer a convenient platform for a trade cum consumer show which is favoured by the mixed audience as well as most of the exhibitors. In addition, it will also serve as a rare occasion for anglers from all walks of life to meet and make new acquaintances.

Every Ryobi Knight spoon comes with a 2 times strong swivel for added strength.
