My fellow anglers and friends,<br />
Greetings to all. We are going through some changes as we<br />
we grow for a fishing magazine to a publishing house. We<br />
will remove www.theasianangler.com and all our magazines<br />
will be available at www.theasianpublisher.com.<br />
This is done to streamline all our magazines into one website instead of having<br />
to go to different websites depending on magazine titles. This makes things<br />
more convenient for you our readers. As of 27th <strong>November</strong> <strong>2015</strong> all magazines<br />
will be available on our new website.<br />
We have gone from choking haze to heavy rains. <strong>The</strong> good news is that we can<br />
breathe finally (cleaner air). It is also time to head out for some sebarau (Hampala<br />
macrolepidota) fishing. Bad news is that it is flooding in many places. We<br />
also have landslides and thus driving up to the hills can be risky.<br />
Well, have fun fishing. Don’t spare the rod. Reels need to be used. Lures need<br />
to swim. Lines need to get wet. Not doing so could cause depression, especially<br />
if you are a hardcore angler.<br />
Thank you and happy fishing. Remember to ensure that safety is always first<br />
especially during the monsoons.<br />
Cheers,<br />

<strong>The</strong> Light And <strong>The</strong> Sexy<br />
Pflueger Patriarch XT<br />
Test Information<br />
Model Tested<br />
Brand: Pflueger<br />
Series: Patriarch XT<br />
Model: PATXTSP35<br />
Line Cap. (yd/ lb): 180/6 140/8 110/10 (Mono)<br />
Max Drag: 14lb<br />
Gear Ratio: 5.2:1
If you love cars, you would have probably<br />
realized that sexy exotic cars are in<br />
a league of their own. It is not always<br />
about how fast they go but also how light<br />
they are, and how sexy they look. Of<br />
course heritage and technology behind<br />
these cars holds a lot of water too, probably<br />
more than the reservoirs that feed<br />
water to whole neighbourhoods.<br />
11
Level Of Sexiness<br />
Well, Porsches are exotics but Ferraris are sexier<br />
exotics. Lamborghinis are sexy too on the more extreme<br />
side. Where does the Patriarch XT fall into?<br />
Perhaps somewhere about the Paganis. Paganis<br />
are sexy and come with very extreme designs, so<br />
does the Patriarch XT.
13<br />
Lightweight<br />
Like all exotic cars, weight reduction seems to be<br />
the race. Pflueger is running this race too trying to<br />
reduce weight on their reels. <strong>The</strong> new Patriarch XT<br />
weighs only 183g. <strong>The</strong> previous one of which was<br />
the lightest one during its time of launch, weighed<br />
about 210g. This new one is lighter by 27g.
Sporty In White<br />
You seldom see white sports cars. <strong>The</strong>y normally<br />
come in hot colours such as red or yellow. Some<br />
have gone with the extreme including florescent colour<br />
of orange or green. This reel comes in white,<br />
with gun metal silver, and black carbon fibre. In a<br />
way it looks like a Star Wars space trooper. Anyhow,<br />
it is one sporty looking reel.
15<br />
Lots Of Holes<br />
One thing that will not go unnoticed are the large<br />
holes that have been cut out at the spool. <strong>The</strong>y look<br />
like huge air intakes. <strong>The</strong> rotor also has cut outs<br />
with carbon fibre inserted in place. <strong>The</strong> main body<br />
near the foot of the reel has two holes too. All these<br />
help reduce the weight of the reel and add on to the<br />
outlook giving it that extreme sporty image.
Getting Light<br />
Of course to achieve a lower weight, porting holes<br />
alone does help but the main materials have got to<br />
be lightweight too. <strong>The</strong> Patriarch XT’s body and rotor<br />
are made using magnesium that has been treated<br />
to be able to handle saltwater, and the spool is<br />
made of aircraft grade aluminium. <strong>The</strong>se materials<br />
are lightweight and tough.
17<br />
More Weight Loss<br />
<strong>The</strong> carbon handle helps trim the weight by about<br />
21% if comparing to a handle of the same design and<br />
configuration but made using aluminium. <strong>The</strong> main<br />
shaft is made of titanium of which adds to the weight<br />
reduction plus it gives better rigidity and toughness.
Smooth Operator<br />
<strong>The</strong> Patriarch XT is a very smooth performer. However,<br />
I have to clarify this. When I first got the reel it<br />
felt a bit rough. I decided to open it, wipe away the<br />
grease, and give it a simple service. With that the<br />
reel performed as smooth as silk. This seems to be<br />
the thing with reels these days, even very high end<br />
Japanese reels. <strong>The</strong>y need to be given a basic service<br />
before use.

Lab Test<br />
Equipment Used<br />
Rod: Abu Garcia Ultracast<br />
Line: Berkley Fireline Braid<br />
Poundage: 20lb<br />
We started the drag pressure at 80%. <strong>The</strong> drag was<br />
smooth and we gave the rod a pull with the rod being<br />
horizontal to give the least resistance from the<br />
rod guides; meaning the resistance will come from<br />
the drag. We managed to touch about 10.4lb.
21<br />
Drag At 100%<br />
Next we maxed up the drag to 100%. We secured<br />
the line back into our drag checker and piled on the<br />
pressure. <strong>The</strong> drag remained smooth without feeling<br />
sticky or jerky. At maximum drag the Patriarch XT<br />
touched 17.8lb of which is 3.8lb above the claimed<br />
14lb.
Rigid Main Shaft<br />
<strong>The</strong> titanium main shaft is tough and rigid. At maximum<br />
pressure there is zero wobbly feeling when<br />
cranking the reel. This means that the stiffness of<br />
the main shaft allows the rotor and spool to stay<br />
aligned to each other even at maximum drag.
23<br />
<strong>The</strong> Rotor<br />
<strong>The</strong> rotor may not be rigid. It flexes slightly under<br />
pressure. However, the slight flexing did not have an<br />
effect on the cranking (at 17.8lb) although we pushed<br />
it over its limit of 14lb. No wobbly feel, nor was there<br />
any difficulty in cranking. <strong>The</strong> Patriarch XT performed<br />
as normal. I didn’t feel any flexing.
Verdict<br />
Lovely lovely lovely looking reel. Can I say lovely<br />
again? Also a good performer and is one of the lightest<br />
spinning reels around. Of course it does have<br />
some cons but as long as you don’t stray too far off<br />
its limits, it will perform well without issues.

Mongering War<br />
Penn Warmonger Jigging<br />
Test Information<br />
Testing Grounds: Natural Exotic Pond<br />
Series: Pop GT<br />
Model: PGT 702S<br />
Length: 7’<br />
Lure Wt.: 100-180g<br />
Line Wt.: PE 3-5<br />
Configuration: 2 pieces Offset (butt joint)<br />
Opponents: Amazon Redtail Catfish<br />
Warmonger. A person that encourages, urges, or tries to stir<br />
up war. Has Penn been doing so, urging anglers to go to war<br />
with the finned warriors that call the seas, oceans, lakes, dams,<br />
rivers, and even streams home? Yes or no, we anglers have been<br />
searching for a fight with these warriors since a few millenniums<br />
ago. Now Penn has made it official with the Warmonger.
31<br />
Weapon: Jigging Rod<br />
Recently Penn sent us a not so secret weapon to<br />
test. This is the Penn Warmonger Jigging rod. <strong>The</strong><br />
Warmonger is by no means a weapon of mass destruction<br />
as so many warlords seem to want these<br />
days. It is a weapon to hunt down warriors and battle<br />
them one at a time.
Section: Blank<br />
<strong>The</strong> Warmonger comes in a black blank coated with<br />
clear epoxy of which gives it the ability to easily go<br />
into hiding in shops as it blends into the surroundings<br />
hiding amongst rods of similar based colour of<br />
which is quite common. To spot the Warmonger you<br />
will have to look for metallic blue and silver thread<br />
winding, and a metallic candy blue windcheck.
33<br />
Section: EVA Handle<br />
<strong>The</strong> Warmonger comes with black high quality EVA<br />
of which is another colour that is commonly used but<br />
what makes it stand out from the crowd is its design.<br />
<strong>The</strong> fore EVA grip is designed like a flash bomb or<br />
a modernize grenade; while its rear is thicker at the<br />
reel seat area and contours down to a slim cylinder<br />
all the way to the butt cap section where it contours<br />
back into a thicker section.
Components: Fuji<br />
<strong>The</strong> Warmonger comes with Fuji guides which are<br />
tough and offers less friction as compared to normal<br />
guides. Not forgetting its heat dissipating qualities of<br />
which helps to lengthen the lifespan of fishing lines<br />
being used. <strong>The</strong> Warmonger also comes with Fuji<br />
reel seat of which offers a secure hold on the reel.
35<br />
Config: 2 piece Offset<br />
Many like the consistent curve of one piece rods<br />
but prefer two piece rods when it comes to convenience<br />
of transporting. To closer the gap between<br />
these two types of configurations, rod manufacturers<br />
created the offset or commonly known as the<br />
butt joint configuration. <strong>The</strong> Warmonger comes with<br />
this configuration for consistent curve and power,<br />
yet added convenience of transporting.
Lab Test:<br />
Equipment Used<br />
Rod: Abu Garcia Ultracast<br />
Line: Berkley Fireline Braid<br />
Poundage: 20lb<br />
At the lab we put the Warmonger through the pressure<br />
test. With a rating of PE 2-4 we tried to reach<br />
the 4 as the target; or about 40lb. We pushed the<br />
rod until it bent very close to the fore EVA. <strong>The</strong> rod<br />
started playing a scary acoustic tune and we decided<br />
to stop. <strong>The</strong> meter registered 22lb.I am sure we<br />
could push a little more but we risk breaking the rod<br />
and I doubt we could touch 40lb.

Equipment Used<br />
Reel: Penn Clash 3000<br />
Line: Berkley Fireline Braid<br />
Poundage: 30lb<br />
Leader: Berkley Vanish<br />
Poundage: 40lb<br />
Casting baits with the Warmonger is pretty decent,<br />
a good thing since it is essentially a jigging rod. We<br />
got our baits reasonably far. We were casting baits<br />
of about 100g (half a palm size tilapia fish) and were<br />
able to reach into the areas where the Amazon red<br />
tail catfishes hid without issues.
Fish Management<br />
When it comes to fighting the fish or rather managing<br />
the fight, the Warmonger performed decently. It<br />
isn’t too stiff till one has to fight both rod and fish, nor<br />
is it too soft. It has enough backbone power to manage<br />
the fish and provide leverage during the fight.

<strong>The</strong> Penn Warmonger Jigging is a decent rod with<br />

backbone. Looks wise it will probably blend into<br />
the crowd but should you look for it, you will find it<br />
to be a decent performer that will not burn a hole in<br />
your pocket.

Ajiking Pro Box<br />
Every angler uses a tackle box making them an integral<br />
part of fishing. From the simple use of keeping<br />
things to being a multipurpose box of which acts as a<br />
floatation device to a seat, I have never met an angler<br />
without a tackle box. In fact most anglers own more than<br />
one.
43<br />
Solid Box<br />
<strong>The</strong> Ajiking Pro Box is a box where you can<br />
keep your essential fishing items such as<br />
hooks, sinkers, lures, & more (I will explain<br />
later). It is one solid Box made up of good<br />
quality plastic.
Built Tough<br />
<strong>The</strong> Pro Box is tough. How tough? I am a heavy weighted<br />
person who takes extra care when sitting on plastic<br />
chairs after breaking a few of which I am sure isn’t my<br />
fault. After all I cannot be blamed for the poor quality of<br />
these chairs. <strong>The</strong> Pro Box however makes a decent seat<br />
on fishing trips. Being able to take my weight I give it the<br />
thumbs up.
45<br />
Keeps Dry<br />
<strong>The</strong> Pro Box is not waterproof but what I do know from<br />
experience is that it keeps what you put inside dry in the<br />
rain. And if like me you do not like putting your stuff on<br />
wet grass or muddy grounds, the Pro Box is a blessing.<br />
I don’t care if the outside of the box gets dirty and wet,<br />
just as long as it doesn’t soak through and wet my things<br />
inside.
Offers Protection<br />
Being a tough box that keeps water out quite effectively,<br />
the lower compartment of the Pro Box will keep precious<br />
reels safe in their pouch, away from the elements especially<br />
if you are fishing on a boat out at sea. It also keeps<br />
them safe in the fully stuffed boot of a car.

Easy and well thought off storage for smaller items such<br />
as hooks, sinkers, spoons, small cutters, scissors, spool<br />
of lines, etc. on top where the cover is. This makes reaching<br />
for them easy and convenient.
Large Storage<br />
<strong>The</strong> large storage space at the bottom is great for keeping<br />
large items such as reels, 1lb spool of lines, larger<br />
lures such as big poppers, and even mobile phones, or<br />
anything you want to keep dry should it rain. Such convenience<br />
in a box.
49<br />
Easy To Carry<br />
Well, not as easy to carry as nylon bags but for a solid<br />
tackle box, it certainly is. <strong>The</strong> Pro Box comes with a strap<br />
and can be carried like a sling bag around one’s shoulder<br />
thus freeing hands to hold other things such as fishing<br />
rods, nets, etc.
<strong>The</strong> Downside<br />
My only qualms with the Pro Box is its weight. Being a<br />
sturdy and tough box also means that it will weigh more<br />
as compared to a nylon type bag of the same dimensions.<br />
It is not very heavy but should one have to walk a<br />
long distance to one’s favourite fishing spot, the weight of<br />
the Pro Box will very certainly be felt.
51<br />
Verdict<br />
<strong>The</strong> Ajiking Pro Box is not a new thing and has been<br />
around for some time. I on the other hand must admit<br />
that I never liked such boxes as they look bulky and not<br />
something cool like the nylon bags that I am used to. This<br />
has now changed. I have found a new favourite tackle<br />
box. Tough, convenient, practical, and with good amounts<br />
of storage space. I like it.

Strike<br />
Abu Garcia Ultracast rods have long been a favourite<br />
amongst snakehead and pond anglers. Abu Garcia has<br />
made some changes to the Ultracast rod series and have<br />
come out with the new Ultracast Double Strike.
53<br />
Carrying On <strong>The</strong> Ultracast Heritage<br />
<strong>The</strong> Ultracast Double Strike carries with it the Ultracast<br />
heritage of which are power, toughness and being a very<br />
capable rod at very reasonable prices. <strong>The</strong>se are the very<br />
essence that brought it to fame amongst snake head anglers.
24 Tons Graphite<br />
<strong>The</strong> Ultracast Double Strike comes with a 24 ton graphite<br />
blank of which suits the type of fishing it is meant to<br />
handle. <strong>The</strong> blank is both forgiving at the tip for a good<br />
cast and powerful enough at the button section to manage<br />
the fish, especially when there is a need to pull it out<br />
of cover or weeds.
55<br />
Red And black<br />
<strong>The</strong> new Ultracast Double Strike comes in red and black<br />
colours of which are the core colours of Abu Garcia. <strong>The</strong>y<br />
come also with black carbon fibre wrap at the branding<br />
section.
Components<br />
<strong>The</strong> Ultracast Double Strike comes with quality Fuji reel<br />
seats that will hold on to reels securely. <strong>The</strong> guides are<br />
standard K-guides (non Fuji). <strong>The</strong> EVA used on the Double<br />
Strike is good quality EVA that is slim all the way to<br />
the button where it enlarges slightly ending with a rubber<br />
black cap.
57<br />
Balance<br />
<strong>The</strong> Ultracast Double Strike rods are a bit tip heavy without<br />
a reel on but balances out well with a reel on, as the<br />
weight of the reel shifts the weight back towards the rear<br />
of the rod.
Verdict<br />
Good and capable rod that is friendly to the pocket. That<br />
is what Abu Garcia Ultracast rods have been to anglers<br />
all these years. <strong>The</strong> Double Strike is no exception.

Minnows Inc Beito Original<br />
Lure fishing has been a sport that has grown large<br />
and is still growing. <strong>The</strong> demands for different types of<br />
lures continues to grow. One of these demands is for a<br />
lure that sinks fast and reaches a certain depth fast. This<br />
means that sinking lures need to sink to depths faster.
Versatile Lure<br />
Minnows Inc Beito Original lures are the answer. <strong>The</strong>se<br />
ultra fast sinking minnow lures are extremely versatile.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y can be used in many ways for both saltwater applications<br />
for fishes such as mackerels, tunas, trevallies,<br />
and sailfish; as well as freshwater application for fishes<br />
like the giant snakeheads, Mekong catfish, etc.<br />
63
Weight Transfer System<br />
<strong>The</strong> weight transfer system also gives the Beito Original<br />
lures a live like swim action during the retrieve and superb<br />
stability attracting nearby predators to attack. Using<br />
a system called the “Full Connect System” (FCS) the Beito<br />
Original uses a wire through lure system. This means<br />
that should the a strong toothy predator take and break<br />
the lure, chances are you will still land it.
65<br />
Superb Castability<br />
<strong>The</strong> Beito Original cast really well as it is weighted and<br />
well balanced. This allows it to be cast tail first being<br />
more aerodynamic of which also means greater casting<br />
distance as friction against the air is reduced.
Many Colours<br />
<strong>The</strong> Beito Original comes in many colours giving you<br />
choices especially during days when the fish seems to<br />
be choosy. Another thing about colours is that the Beito<br />
Original also has lures with dual colour schemes in one<br />
lure. <strong>The</strong>se “twin face” lures could be your next secret<br />
weapon.

Lure Fishing Basics: Part 1<br />
Lure fishing. Some call it a transition from bottom<br />
fishing. Some call it going up the grades. Some call<br />
it moving from the amateurs to the advanced. To me<br />
it is just a different type of sport. Not an upgrade. Not<br />
growth. Just indulging in a different sort of fishing. So if<br />
you have been bottom fishing and want to try lure fishing,<br />
this series is for you.
93<br />
Fishing Lures<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are many types of fishing lures. Some people<br />
confuse lures as only hard lures of which could be plastic<br />
or wood. In fact lures are anything artificial whether<br />
they are soft baits, metal spoons, metal jigs, or hard<br />
plastic or wooden lures.
Why Do Lure Fishing?<br />
Well, there are many reasons why an angler would decide<br />
to do lure fishing. But I believe a general reason is<br />
to up the ante and make fishing a little more challenging.<br />
After all natural baits are really food that fishes eat.<br />
Plastics, metals, rubbers, and wood are not food that a<br />
fish would eat. Tricking a fish to take your artificial bait<br />
is thus more challenging that handing them real food.
95<br />
What Is Involved?<br />
When it comes to lure fishing, a whole new learning process<br />
begins. <strong>The</strong>re are many things to learn. Amongst<br />
them are the various types of lures, what these lures do<br />
or how they swim, manipulating them, fishing them at<br />
different depths, the sort of tackle to use, and so much<br />
more. My advice for beginners to lure fishing... be prepared<br />
to learn and experience a whole new world of<br />
fishing.
Types Of Lures<br />
As stated earlier, there are many types of lures available.<br />
All these lures have got their own distinct features<br />
and methods of use. Different fishing areas or environments<br />
will call for different types of lures. As such,<br />
lures come in so many forms and colours. You could<br />
very well fill up an entire shop with lures of various<br />
types and colours.
97<br />
Hard Lures<br />
Since we have covered soft baits (or soft plastics) and<br />
spoons (please refer to previous issues); we will focus<br />
on hard lures the likes of crankbaits and poppers beginning<br />
with this issue. <strong>The</strong> objective is to help you understand<br />
hard lures better and that you will be able to<br />
use them effectively.
Crankbaits<br />
Crankbaits are artificial baits that are cast out and that<br />
retrieved back using various types of retrieval techniques<br />
depending on the action of the lure. <strong>The</strong>y are<br />
called crankbaits perhaps because they are baits that<br />
you cast out and crank back. <strong>The</strong>y are called other<br />
things in different places.
99<br />
How Are <strong>The</strong>y Made?<br />
In days of old crank baits were made out of wood the<br />
likes of balsa wood of which is made famous by Rapala<br />
and selected timbers in Halco’s case of which is still<br />
used till this very day. <strong>The</strong>y were carved and sanded<br />
to their intended designs, painted with various colours,<br />
and then covered with a clear coating.
Plastic Moulded<br />
Most lures these days are made of moulded plastics<br />
and polymers. <strong>The</strong>se lures are then coloured with a<br />
mixture of colours and designs, some with intricate 3D<br />
designs to resemble the scales of an actual fish. <strong>The</strong><br />
lure will then look like the real thing at the end of the<br />
painting process.
101<br />
Balancing <strong>The</strong> Lures<br />
Balance is very important. Weights are placed inside<br />
the lures to balance them according to the action that<br />
the lure is supposed to present at various times of use<br />
such as during the crank and the pause; both of which<br />
will have a certain specific action depending on the lure.
Balancing is also important for the cast where the angle<br />
of the lure during the flight until it touches the water<br />
must be well controlled. For better aerodynamics of<br />
which will also mean better distances, the lure should<br />
glide through the sky with its narrowest point (rear) first.<br />
Some manufacturers use a weight transferring system<br />
to achieve this by using a free rolling ball bearing.
103<br />
Making Noises<br />
Noises in the water attracts fishes. To create noise<br />
beads are placed inside the lures. This causes a rattling<br />
sound somewhat like a baby’s rattler. As the lure<br />
swims and vibrates underwater these beads roll about<br />
knocking onto each other and onto the body of the lure<br />
creating a rattling sound.
Pissing Off Predators<br />
So much is put into the manufacturing of crankbaits with<br />
one objective in mind that is to piss of predators (fish)<br />
with flashes, colours, vibrations, movements, noises,<br />
etc. causing it to strike. All these factors work on the<br />
fishes instinct and that instinct in return creates what<br />
we anglers call a “reaction strike.”
105<br />
More Next <strong>Issue</strong><br />
We will discuss further in the next issue touching on<br />
body designs. For now, should you visit tackle shops,<br />
do pay attention to some of the lures you see there. Notice<br />
the different designs and colours that they come in.<br />
This will be of help when you read the next issue.
Knowledge Wise<br />
Philemon Foo<br />
All About Hooks: Part 1<br />
Being an angler you would have realized that the<br />
humble hook is one of the most important accessory<br />
in one’s tackle box. Without hooks it will be impossible<br />
to “hook-up” a fish, go through a respectful battle, and<br />
claim victory.
107<br />
How Much Do You Know<br />
About Hooks?<br />
I dare say all of us know hooks but there are a certain<br />
things about hooks that we don’t bother getting to<br />
know and thus do not know. Let us be honest, there are<br />
anglers who do not know all the parts of a hook. But<br />
knowing all is not important. What is important is that<br />
they are sharp and we catch fish with them right? Well,<br />
a little more knowledge will do no harm.
<strong>The</strong> Anatomy Of A Hook<br />
Eye<br />
Point<br />
Gap<br />
Shank<br />
Barb<br />
Bend<br />
For a start let us familiarize ourselves with the parts of<br />
a hook, or the anatomy of a hook. It is good to know<br />
this as it not only makes you look smarter when you<br />
are in a conversation with other anglers who do not<br />
know hooks and try to explain to you that they prefer a<br />
hook with a wider gap but do not know how to. It also<br />
helps you make informed buying and usage decisions.
109<br />
Point<br />
Every hook has a point without which you will not be<br />
able to penetrate the fishes mouth. Imagine using a<br />
hook without a point, how on earth would you ever hook<br />
up a fish? Event with a point, hooking up a fish is not<br />
guaranteed.
Barb<br />
<strong>The</strong> barb is a reversed point that points back into the<br />
hook. <strong>The</strong> barb has got two main uses. One of them is<br />
to prevent baits from slipping out of the hook. <strong>The</strong> other<br />
reason is to make it difficult for the fish to unhook itself.
111<br />
<strong>The</strong> Eye<br />
<strong>The</strong> eye is where you secure your fishing lines too. <strong>The</strong><br />
eye is the ring that makes it easy for you to tie your<br />
lines too. Guess what... not all hooks have eyes. <strong>The</strong>re<br />
is a reason why some hooks do not have eyes and it is<br />
not to make the lives of anglers difficult. We will go into<br />
it further into the topic.
<strong>The</strong> Shank<br />
After eye comes the shank, the area between the eye<br />
and the bend. It is worth noting that not all shanks are<br />
the same. Some hooks have long shanks while some<br />
have short shanks. <strong>The</strong>y each play a role in hooking<br />
up the fish of which effectiveness of the hook-up sometimes<br />
depends on the angle of the hook during the penetration.
113<br />
<strong>The</strong> Bend<br />
From the shank we come to the bend, the section of the<br />
hook that is bent creating a curve as it reaches towards<br />
the barb and then to the point. <strong>The</strong> bend is important<br />
too. Some bends are wider or longer, while some are<br />
shorter. <strong>The</strong>y each serves a purpose.
<strong>The</strong> Gap<br />
<strong>The</strong> gap is the distance between the point and the<br />
shank. Notice that some hooks have got a wider gap<br />
and some hooks have narrow gaps. <strong>The</strong> width of the<br />
gap has a role to play too. Using the wrong one could<br />
mean a bad hook-up.
115<br />
<strong>The</strong> Hook<br />
All these parts come together to make the hook. Configuring<br />
them differently makes different hook types for<br />
different types of fishing. Knowing these individual parts<br />
can help you understand the type of hook you need for<br />
a certain type of fishing. Stay tuned for our next issue<br />
where we go deeper into the realm of hooks.
<strong>Angler</strong>s’ Paradise<br />
By Philemon Foo<br />
A Weekend In Kuala Selangor<br />
As anglers, when we bring our family for a holiday<br />
somewhere, we tend to want to do some fishing as well.<br />
Kuala Selangor offers you this. You could take your<br />
family to historical sites and attractions, and do some<br />
fishing too.
117<br />
Gateway To Saltwater<br />
Bottom Fishing<br />
Most anglers especially those from Selangor (<strong>Malaysia</strong>)<br />
and surrounding areas would have come across this<br />
historical town called Kuala Selangor. It was one of the<br />
earliest places where I went fishing out at sea with my<br />
uncle and a few of his friends. It has been many years<br />
since I fished here and decided to pay this town a visit.
Snappers, Groupers, & More<br />
<strong>The</strong> waters off Kuala Selangor are known for red snappers,<br />
mangrove jacks, groupers, triple tails, various<br />
catfish species, as well as smaller fishes the likes of<br />
silver whiting & various species of croakers.
119<br />
Not Just For Saltwater<br />
<strong>Angler</strong>s<br />
Kuala Selangor is not just for saltwater anglers. <strong>The</strong><br />
main river (Selangor River) that flows through it is a<br />
good fishing ground for the blue pincer prawn. Should<br />
you decide to fish in the river do keep in mind that saltwater<br />
crocodiles call the river home too.
Historical Sites<br />
Kuala Selangor is rich in history. Being the administrative<br />
centre of the Selangor Sultanate back in the late<br />
18th century to the early 19th century, it was a place<br />
where battles were fought, and a palace.
121<br />
Melawati Hill<br />
You could visit Melawati Hill (Bukit Melawati) of which<br />
used to be a fort during the reign of Sultan Ibrahim and<br />
was taken by the Dutch in 1784 and renamed “Altingsburd<br />
Fort” after the then Dutch governor-general. Sultan<br />
Ibrahim later managed to regain control of the fort.
Lighthouse & Museum<br />
On top of Melawati Hill sits a lighthouse right at the entrance<br />
of the Historical Museum of the Kuala Selangor<br />
District. <strong>The</strong> Museum houses relics of the past including<br />
stories of how Kuala Selangor came to be.
123<br />
Poison Well<br />
In the past, torture was of a very different form. <strong>The</strong><br />
poison well is where torture took place. Traitors were<br />
placed in the well with the water level reaching up to<br />
their chin. Doesn’t sound like torture does it? Well, the<br />
water was laced with latex from a bamboo shoot that<br />
causes intense itching. How’s that for torture.
<strong>The</strong> Royal Mausoleum<br />
<strong>The</strong> Royal Mausoleum is the burial ground of the first<br />
three Sultans of Selangor. <strong>The</strong>y are Sultan Salahuddin,<br />
Sultan Ibrahim, and Sultan Mahmud. On the grounds of<br />
the Royal Mausoleum sits a canon wrapped in yellow<br />
cloth. This canon is called Penggawa Canon or Chief<br />
Canon.
125<br />
<strong>The</strong> Chief Canon<br />
<strong>The</strong> Chief Canon was found at the edge of Buluh River<br />
some 12 kilometres to the south of Kuala Selangor on<br />
23rd September 1966. It was then called Petoi Boga<br />
which means white princess. <strong>The</strong> Chief Canon is said<br />
to fire on its own when a calamity is about to befall the<br />
Selangor Royals. It is wrapped in yellow cloth to prevent<br />
it from firing on its own.
Panoramic View<br />
<strong>The</strong> summit of Melawati Hill is also the home of the silvered<br />
leaf monkeys and long tail macaques. Long tail<br />
macaques are especially notorious for viciously attacking<br />
other monkeys as well as humans. However, they<br />
seem to be calm and relaxed here coexisting happily<br />
with the silvered leaf monkeys and humans.
127<br />
Monkey Sanctuary<br />
<strong>The</strong>se monkeys hang out on canon that are pointed at<br />
the river mouth below probably an entry point of invaders<br />
back in the old days of war. You can purchase food<br />
and feed these monkeys. <strong>The</strong>y are also not camera shy.
Other Things<br />
<strong>The</strong> other relics that you can visit on Melawati Hill include<br />
the Seven Wells of which is said to never run dry,<br />
the Execution Rock where enemies and traitors were<br />
beheaded, and the Museum of Traditional Games.
129<br />
Eagle Feeding<br />
Langkawi Island is well known for eagle feeding activity<br />
of which is an “eco tourism” activity that has become<br />
a topic of controversies amongst animal rights groups<br />
and activity operators.<br />
Kuala Selangor too has its fair share of eagles that<br />
will gladly swoop down from the sky and feed on the<br />
meat offered by the operators. Other than eagles, other<br />
predators too come to the river mouth to feed creating<br />
a splendid show.
Firefly Watching<br />
Firefly watching was the most popular tourist attraction<br />
in Kuala Selangor. You could board a boat at night and<br />
go visit the fireflies that fly about the trees that line the<br />
banks of the Selangor River. <strong>The</strong>se little beauties can<br />
only be seen in total darkness. Just a little light and<br />
they are gone.
131<br />
Nearby Town Of Sekinchan<br />
Some twenty minutes away lies the little town called<br />
Sekinchan. While Kedah (Northern State on the <strong>Malaysia</strong>n<br />
Peninsular) is the rice bowl of <strong>Malaysia</strong>, Sekinchan<br />
is the rice bowl of Selangor. <strong>The</strong>re are numerous paddy<br />
fields in Sekinchan and you can visit them. You can<br />
also visit the paddy processing plants within the area.
Fishermen’s Wharf<br />
Apart from paddy fields, Sekinchan has a big fishermen’s<br />
wharf where you can see fishing boats head out<br />
to sea in the morning and back again in the evening.<br />
This wharf is at the river mouth of Redang Beach (Pantai<br />
Redang).
133<br />
Redang Beach<br />
Not to be mistaken with the beautiful beaches of Redang<br />
Island where the waters are crystal clear and the<br />
sand is white and powdery; Redang Beach is popular<br />
but not for its waters and sandy beaches. This beach is<br />
popular with its activities such as kite flying, soap bubble<br />
blowing, loud music, etc. Many couples come here<br />
to have their wedding photos taken.
What About Fishing?<br />
You could fish along the Selangor River for blue pincer<br />
prawns, catfish, croakers, etc. You could hire a boat<br />
and head out to sea for some bottom fishing. Alternatively<br />
you could cast for snakehead around the irrigation<br />
systems that line the side of the paddy fields in Sekinchan.<br />
Another popular fishing spot is the river mouth at<br />
Redang Beach where I saw a good numbers of catfish<br />
being caught over the span of an hour.
135<br />
Where To Stay<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are many small hotels in Kuala Selangor. My recommendation<br />
is Apps Hotel of which is about a few minutes’<br />
drive to the historical sites. It is also conveniently located<br />
near a Giant hypermarket should you need any essential<br />
items or just in the mood for snacks and titbits.
Apps Hotel<br />
Apps Hotel is a boutique hotel that is reasonably priced<br />
and is quite new. It has a hundred rooms of various<br />
configurations. <strong>The</strong> rooms are designed with a modest<br />
yet modern theme, have comfortable beds, air-conditioning,<br />
and more importantly, they are clean.
137<br />
Food & Beverage<br />
What I like most about Apps Hotel is its food. <strong>The</strong>y have<br />
some of the best local cuisines available. <strong>The</strong> Nyonya<br />
styled barramundi is superb. <strong>The</strong> Coconut Prawn dish<br />
is the best I have ever tasted. I love the pandan chicken<br />
where one actually gets the rich aroma of pandan leaves.<br />
My favourite green dish here is the fried kangkung (water<br />
spinach). <strong>The</strong>se are dishes not to be missed.
Activities<br />
<strong>The</strong> Apps Hotel offers eagle feeding tours, firefly watching,<br />
and sea fishing right at its backdoor. <strong>The</strong>y also<br />
have karaoke should you want to flex your voice box,<br />
extreme ATV (All Terrain Vehicle) rides, bicycle rentals,<br />
and team building (for corporate events). In fact, they<br />
are promoting “training tourism” where one can learn<br />
new things while on holiday.
139
141
143<br />
In Short<br />
No idea where to go for your next holiday? Why not<br />
give Kuala Selangor a try. Savour the seafood of which<br />
the town is famous for. Go do some fishing while the<br />
family relaxes in the hotel or when you take them to the<br />
paddy fields of Sekinchan, or the the Redang Beach.<br />
Stay at the Apps Hotel and savour the deli0cious food<br />
from their menu.

Get Your Kids Fishing<br />
An Initiative By <strong>The</strong> <strong>Asian</strong> <strong>Angler</strong> Magazine<br />
Fishing is a very healthy sport.<br />
As anglers we enjoy fresh air, we<br />
experience nature, we improve<br />
our analytical skills, we absorb<br />
vitamins from the sun, we expend<br />
our minds, we learn about the<br />
environment, etc.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are so many benefits to<br />
fishing and we should reduce our<br />
kids addiction to video games,<br />
computer games, playing with<br />
mobile devices, etc. We should get<br />
them to interact more with our<br />
environment and teach them a<br />
thing or two about life and living<br />
life.<br />
With this in mind we hope to<br />
encourage you to take your kid(s)<br />
fishing and have dedicated a section<br />
of our magazine to Junior<br />

Junior <strong>Angler</strong>s<br />
By Amirul Irfan<br />
Softbaiting Snakeheads<br />
I love fishing with soft plastics as they are incredibly effective<br />
especially for snakeheads like the Megabass Sparkshad<br />
that caught this decent snakehead. It was a tough<br />
session for me as the day was very hot and the snakeheads<br />
were passive. I noticed this snakehead hitting baitfish<br />
quickly and diving down into weeds again. A quick accurate<br />
cast with a fast topwater retrieve managed to fool<br />
it.
My younger brother scored this juvenile on the Zman MinnowZ.<br />
<strong>The</strong> flakes on the MinnowZ seem to be good at<br />
triggering bites especially from aggressive juvenile snakeheads.<br />
159
This solid snakehead was barely hooked on the Zman<br />
MinnowZ. <strong>The</strong> barbless hooked popped out right after<br />
this photo was taken.
Here’s another aggressive snakehead on the Zman MinnowZ.<br />
<strong>The</strong> baitfish profile is great for fooling snakeheads.<br />
161
Aggressive snakehead which hit the 4” Berkley Powerbait<br />
Ripple Shad beside weeds. I took advantage of the<br />
early morning aggression of snakeheads as they were<br />
feeding on baitfish. This snakehead chased the Ripple<br />
Shad and gave it a subtle bite. <strong>The</strong> sensitivity of the Surecatch<br />
D-Legend helped to detect the bite allowing me<br />
to make a hook set at the right time.
A decent Striped Snakehead by my younger brother at<br />
a pressured urban spot. Many anglers were fishing with<br />
frogs, but they did not catch anything. Me and my younger<br />
brothers noticed a lot of baitfish, so we fished minnow style<br />
soft plastics.<br />
163
My youngest brother managed to catch his first snakehead<br />
right before we packed up. He caught it on the<br />
Berkley 2” Powergrub.
Healthy and solid snakehead caught on the Berkley Powerbait<br />
Double Hawg. I had no problem to reel in this fish<br />
before it could run into cover as I was using the Abu Garcia<br />
Tournament K along with the Abu Garcia Promax spooled<br />
with 20lb Berkley Whiplash.<br />
165
<strong>The</strong> Double Hawg works great for snakeheads of all sizes.<br />
This decent snakehead hit the Double Hawg in open<br />
water which surprised me. I had no problem to cast the<br />
Berkley Powerbait Double Hawg weightless with 20lb<br />
Berkley Whiplash braid.
167<br />
Aggressive heavy cover snakehead that could not resist<br />
the scent and action of the Double Hawg. I prefer fishing<br />
the Double Hawg fast like a buzzbait, but slowing down<br />
and fishing it like a frog can produce fish too. I have caught<br />
countless snakeheads on the Double Hawg.<br />
Why not give soft plastics a try? <strong>The</strong>y are versatile and<br />
they work great.<br />
Have fun fishing during this school holidays and tightlines!
