Ichikawa K.O.S.H.
VS. The Gladiators
Testing Grounds: Natural Exotic Pond, Behrang
Series: Ichikawa K.O.S.H.
Size: 1/0
Opponents: Amazon Redtail Catfish, Asian
Redtail Catfish, Aligator Gar
I chikawa hooks from Japan are lovely hooks. They
are lightweight and sharp. The Ichikawa K.O.S.H
are hooks made for lures and being lighweight is a
great attribute and does not disrupt the balance of
the lure too much.
15
Sharp Hooks
Yes, hooks are sharp but to test how sharp we ran
them on the surface of a plastic spoon. If they are
really sharp they will grip onto the spoon’s surface.
The K.O.S.H easily caught onto the surface of the
spoon; testament to them being sharp.
17
Field Testing
Next is to test the penetration capability and
toughness of the hook. We went to the Natural
Exotic Pond in Behrang with a few K.O.S.H size
1/0 hooks to test them against the hard fighting
fishes there. We cast out fish meat baits and waited
for the fish to take the bait.
It did not take long before we were fighting fish
after fish. We did not lose fish as the hook easily
penetrated the fish’s lips easily. The Ichikawa
K.O.S.H also held on to the fish well.
19
The Ichikawa K.O.S.H is certainly one tough hook
and it did not open up and held on well even on
high pressure. We fought many hard fighting fishes
and we did not lose any. It did really well.
21
Summary
The Ichikawa K.O.S.H hooks are superb lure
hooks. They are loght weight and they performed
really well. They are sharp; easily penetrating the
lips of fishes and they held on well without opening
or bending.

Test Drives The Asian Angler
Shimano
Cruzar
Testing Grounds: Barramundi Pond, Jugra
Series: Cruzar
Model: SCRZFGW 2502
Opponents: Barramundi
F or the brand conscious angler shopping at a budget,
big brands the likes of Shimano does have a
segment of rods placed in this category. The Shimano
Cruzar falls into this category at a price that
is hard for those at a budget to turn down. So how
would such a rod fair when it comes to fishing?
37
Cosmetics
The Cruzar looks decent coming in black and
white with about two rounds of silver coloured
thread on black at the thread windings. It comes
with black EVA grip and a rubber end cap of
which is great as they are easy to clean and
helps the rod stand without slipping as easily as
metal caps do.
39
No Frills
When it comes to the components the Cruzar
comes with zero frills. Normal China guides and
reel seat, mid quality EVA handles. For a Shimano
rod at this price range nothing more should be
expected.
Blank
The Cruzar come with a fibre glass blank of
which helps make the price possible. Using such
blanks however gives the rod a wobbly feel and
usually brings the weight up but Shimano has
done a good job in keeping the weight low with
good balance.
41
Field Test
Using relatively light soft baits that had to be cast
a reasonable distance, we cast our baits out with
relative ease but accuracy was an issue most
likely due to the wobbly tip of the rod. However,
we were still getting hits.
Playing To A “C“
The Cruzar comes with minimal backbone despite
being rated 8-16lb of which lands it within
medium action territory, but it suited the fishing
here. The barramundis here bent the Cruzar
into a “C” allowing for more fun sort of fishing.
Needless to say we caught lots of fish with it
and had fun.
Landed lots of fish and had lots of fun with the
Cruzar.
43
Verdict
^ A rubber end cap allows the rod to stand with less
slipping and rubber does not soak up liquids and dirt.
The Shimano Cruzar is budget no frills rod for
anglers that want a branded rod but at a low
price. Despite being a no frills rod and a rod
with minimal backbone we still had lots of fun
and landed a good amount of barramundis.

Abu Garcia
Revo X
Spinning
49
NEW
T he Abu Garcia Revo series has been around for
quite some time, circa 2008 if memory serves me
well. It was first used on low profile reels and years
later on spinning reels designed by the Japanese
team.
The Tough... Revo X
51
Spinning
Abu Garcia recently launched the
Revo X Spinning reel, a dark reel
in black. The Revo X is a tough
looking and solid feeling reel that
operates smoothly. It is well built
with a rigid C6 (IM-C6) carbon
body design that gives the angler
a confident solid feel.
Smooth Operations
The Revo X comes with 6 HPCR stainless steel bearings
+ 1 roller bearing giving it a smooth feeling when
the handle is turned. HPCR stainless steel bearings also
provides for a longer life span as compared to normal
bearings.
53
Tough Bail System & light Rotor
While the Revo X may not be the lightest spinning reels
in the market, to lower the weight of the Revo X, the reel
comes with a lightweight graphite rotor together with a
tough bail system called the Everlast bail system that
is built tough for better durability.
55
Strong Drag
A strong drag is essential to any reel and the Revo X
comes Abu Garcia’s well known Carbon Matrix hybrid
drag system for super smooth reliable drag performance
capable of strong or rather high drag pressure to tire hard
fighting fishes quicker.
57
59
Toughness Inside Out
The Revo X is not only tough on the outside, it is also
tough on the inside. It comes with stainless steel components
for better corrosion resistance. It also comes with
a rigid and tough stainless steel main shaft that holds the
spool in place during tough battles.
Rocket Line & Spool System
Line management is important in any reel something that
the Revo X is said to be good with. It comes with a Rocket
line management system that provides better control
on all types of lines, plus the Rocket spool lip design
offers better line out during the cast allowing for smoother
flow.
61
Tough Spool
The Revo X comes with a machined aluminium spool that
is tough and will not crush under pressure during the battles
with a tough fighting fish. It is solid and rigid adding
confidence to the angler especially on higher pressure
fights.
63
Good Grip
Without a doubt, a good grip is certainly important and
the Revo X comes with a reasonably large PVC knob
with a rubbery feel that allows for a comfortable and good
grip allowing for minimal slippage.
65
Check
Them Out
The Revo X spinning comes in four sizes
being size 10, 20, 30, and 40. They
look great and tough coming in black.

Conflict
II
“I am Batman (deep husky voice)... and this
is my reel.” I like all thing black but black alone
is boring. I like mine sporty too and the invention
of carbon fibre has been a blessing. Not
only does carbon fibre look sporty and cool; it
also is light weight. That is why I chose this reel,
the Penn Conflict II.
69
Sporty In Black
Just like all of Batman’s toys, the Penn Conflict II
comes in black, with black carbon fibre strips on
the rotor and the handle. It comes with a black EVA
know that is contoured for a comfortable hold. The
bail arm and wire is black and built thick.
71
Lightweight
Since I carry lots of equipment with me whether
fighting crime or fishing; my tools need to be light.
The Penn Conflict II is pretty light comparing to
other reels within the same range. I believe most
of you will like it light too.
Tough And Strong
Looks and being lightweight alone will not be good
enough for the fishing I do. I want a reel that is
tough and strong. If you’ve battled villains the like
of the Joker and Penguin you’ll see that weak tools
will not be of help. I do not underestimate the power
and strength of the fishes I am targeting too. Amazon
redtail cafishes are no softies and so are groupers;
let’s not forget the mighty giant snakeheads.
73
Braid Ready
My friend, Spidey or Spiderman uses webs to
help get from one place to another fast. Strand for
strand his web is said to be 10 times the strength
of steel. Thus why I prefer braided lines and use
them all the time. Diameter to diameter, they are
about twice the strength of mono. Maybe more.
Hence why I prefer to use braid ready spools and
this reel has it.
Take It From Batman
Well, if it’s good enough for me, it should be good
enough for you too. Oh, there is one problem. The
new Penn Conflict II is not in the market yet. It
is targeted to be launch mid 2017. Guess you will
have to be patient and wait for its launching. Meanwhile,
happy fishing.

Travel & Fish
By Sue Farley
Fishing for
Trout in
New Zealand
85
^ Summer Safari Camp at Poronui.
I f you’re planning a trip to New Zealand to fish
for those elusive brown and rainbow trout, you’ll
want to know a little about where you’re heading.
Remember that the Down Under summer
is the reverse of the northern hemisphere, with
warm balmy days from October to April in the
north of the country and November to March in
the south. It’s also the main fly fishing season.
^ Fishing from Poronui.
New Zealand is a beautiful country. Tucked
away in the bottom left corner of the South Pacific,
it’s a long way from anywhere except Australia.
And even then, it’s a three hour plane ride
across the Tasman Sea from Sydney to Auckland.
With two main islands, imaginatively called
the North and South Islands, the country spans
1000 kilometres of latitude, with the resulting
differences of climate and topography that arise
from that.
87
^ Heli-fishing from Poronui.
The North Island is essentially volcanic, and the
trout-bearing rivers and lakes generally run from
the higher altitudes of the Central Plateau out towards
the coast, or into one of the central lakes.
Studded with three beautiful high mountains, Ruapehu,
Ngaruahoe and Tongariro, and many deep
lakes including Rotorua and Taupo, the Central
North Island is steeped in Maori history and broken
by fast-moving rivers. The Tongariro River is
one of these, a rather challenging river that has
drawn fly-fishermen since the introduction of trout
over 120 years ago.
^ South Island river fishing.
89
The South Island, on the other hand, has been
wrenched from the earth by huge seismic upthrusts
and earthquakes. Its landscape is spectacular,
dropping from the high peaks of the Southern Alps
to the wide coastal plains of the east coast and
the wild ocean beaches of the west coast. You can
stand on a wave-torn, rocky west coast beach and
look inland to high snow-capped mountains, with
several glaciers in between. Once again, clear
rocky rivers tumble down through deep gorges
and across stony valleys, providing countless opportunities
for excellent wild trout fishing.
Main international gateway cities from Asia are
Auckland, in the North Island, and Christchurch in
the South Island. International flights also arrive
into Wellington from Australia, and Queenstown
in the south, giving access to the fabulous fishing
around Southland and inland Otago. This is also
very handy in ski season. Major roads are good
to drive, although drive times can be deceptively
slow because of the rugged terrain, particularly
in parts of the South Island. Driving is on the left
side of the road.
^ Lake Taupo Lodge.
The main trout fishing areas in the North Island
are around Taupo and Rotorua, and further out
towards the East Coast and Hawkes Bay. The
greater Nelson region at the top of the South Island
is a key brown trout fishing area, and there
is also excellent fishing further south through
Canterbury, the West Coast, Otago and Southland.
All these places are well-served with top
local fishing guides, and there are beautiful
luxury lodges hidden in remote locations so you
can stay and fish in quiet splendour. Three, four
and five star options provide something for every
budget.
91
^ Back country fishing from Lake Taupo Lodge.
The trout fishing season runs from October to
April throughout most of New Zealand, but there
are many areas in the North Island where an
open season runs all year in the lower reaches
of the rivers. This makes places like Taupo and
Rotorua, in the central North Island, particularly
good places to fish in winter.
^ Fishing from Tongariro Lodge.
Trout fishing is generally catch and release, and
the clear waters of most New Zealand rivers
make for some of the best sighted river fishing
for brown and rainbow trout in the world. Other
options include lake and spin fishing, raft fishing
on the white water rivers, and heli-fishing in the
remote back country and mountain areas.
93
^ Blanket Bay Lodge, Lake Wakatipu.
^ Fiordland Lodge, Lake Te Anau.
^ Chalet at Minaret Station.
New Zealand is now an incredibly popular place
to fish for trout so you’ll need to book ahead for
next season to ensure you get good accommodation
and guides in the areas you want to visit.

Where to Stay
Philemon Foo
Sea Lion Hotel
Kuala Selangor
99
When one mentions Kuala Selangor, the first
thing that comes to most angler’s minds is sea fishing.
Fishing have overshadowed the history of Melawati
Hill, its monkeys, the fort, fireflies, etc. Probably
because we always have fishing on our minds.
There are a good number of hotels there to choose
from and here is one of we recommend.
>The reception at the Sea Lion Hotel, Kuala Selangor.
Firefly Themed Rooms
One hotel that certainly stands out from the crowd of hotels
there is the Sea Lion Hotel. The Sea Lion Hotel is a
firefly themed boutique hotel that is tastefully decorated
with art pieces, nice furnishing, and little lights on the
ceiling of their rooms that mimic fireflies.
>The ceiling of the rooms look like fireflies. The colours of the
lights changes every few seconds.
101
Room Configurations
The Sea Lion Hotel has 45 rooms of various configuration
from the single rooms to family rooms.
The rooms are tastefully furnished with a mixture of
modern and artistically classic furniture. More important
are the beds that they come with. These
beds are comfortable offering a good night’s rest.
>Well decorated rooms.
Unique Pool
Yes, they have a pool that one can play in. Unlike the
usual dugout swimming pools, this pool is built on the
ground and doubles as a water feature. It has a tiled
seats for one to sit on and just hangout. Children will
certainly enjoy playing in the pool.
103
Facilities
When it comes to facilities and amenities the Sea
Lion Hotel comes with the general facilities offered
by most hotels such as hot water shower, hair dryer,
hot water dispenser (public), free wi-fi, etc. One
thing that helps them standout is that they cater to
the less-abled (wheelchair), something more hotels
should have.
>I love this chair. It is comfortable and it looks good.
Strategic Location
There are a few must visit spots in Kuala Selangor such
as the Melawati Hill where the Melawati fort, Altingsburg
Lighthouse, silver leafed monkeys, museum, etc.
are. About 5 minutes drive away from this area is one
the jetties that takes visitors on eagle feeding trips during
the day and firefly trips at night. All these areas are
a mere five to ten minutes drive away from the Sea Lion
Hotel.
>Silver leafed monkey hanging out on a cannon.
105
The area around the hotel has food outlets and
other shops. The famous seafood restaurants are
about 10 minutes drive away. If you decide not to
drive and do not want to walk much, just beside the
hotel is a restaurant.
>Fireflies shot with slow shutter speed during the fire fly
watching trip.
Personal Experience
I recently visited Kuala Selangor with my family and our
friends. We checked into the Sea Lion Hotel which was
highly recommended by a friend, and the price suited
our budget. Checking in was a breeze and they have
lifts that took us to our floor.
>Tasteful decor.
107
When I thought I could get to the room whip out my
laptop and start working, I ended up taking a nap.
My mistake was lying on the bed (was supposed to
be for only 5 minutes) and ended up snoozing for
an hour. The bed was really comfortable and the
dim firefly effect helped with the shut eye.
>Our room had a balcony.
While I didn’t go into the pool I saw kids enjoying themselves
in it with one parent on the deckchair asleep.
With the sound of waterfalls from water flowing off the
sides into a catchment of which I believe sends it to a filtration
system and back into the pool; resting there must
be therapeutic.
> Kids having fun in the pool. The pool is deeper at the other
end.
109
All in all we certainly enjoyed ourselves and had
a good rest. We didn’t have to rush to the sites as
they were nearby. We had easy access to food and
we love eating. Because of its location and facilities
we had a really relaxing trip. We only wished that
we had booked for a night or two longer.

Thoughtfully blending practical function and inspired design
into one polished package, this knife springs into action
