S naps, the little “clippy” things that are the links
that hold different terminal tackles together. They
must withstand heavy pressure exerted by hard
fighting fishes as well as the angler. These little
“tools” need to be tough and not open up under
pressure. Recently we had a go with the Beast
Snaps.
13

The Beast Snaps look like your normal “duo-lock”
snaps but they have been tuned by the renown Extreme
Angler to manage high drag pressure. Being
“Extreme tuned” one knows that these snaps are
the real deal.

15
Field Testing
Most “duo-lock” snaps have one weakness. They
open up easily during hard fights. The Beast Snap
however is unlike most “duo-lock” snaps. They
are made of tough stainless steel material and
are designed to handle heavy pressure despite
its size.

Taking On Gladia

17
tors
To test these snaps we took them to the Natural
Exotic Pond in Behrang, Perak and have them
fight the hard fighting Amazon red tail catfishes
there. But before going into battle, one needs to
put on the snap. The Beast Snaps do take more
effort in opening as they are built tough. Once
they are in place, our tests started.

Within a few minutes the rod started bending and
lines shot out of the reel despite being set to very
high pressure. That is how willing the fishes here
at the Natural Exotic Pond are to take one’s bait.
These gladiators fight hard and the first few battles
went on with very high drag (as we were testing
the rod, line, and hook too). After about 2 to 3
minutes the brute was landed.
19

We fought many brutes that day and we only used
one snap. We need not change the snap as it did
not open despite fighting the tough fighters under
high pressure. That is how tough the Beast Snap
snaps are.
21

Summary
The Beast Snap is one heck of a tough snap to
use. They may be tougher to install due to their
toughness but they hold well without opening despite
the high pressure. Personally, I rather use
a tough snap than one that is easy to install but
opens up during battles. The Beast Snap are certainly
good snaps to have in one’s tackle box.

Test Drives The Asian Angler

37
F ishing lines are super important and
all anglers want lines that are capable
and able to improve their chances of
catching fish by allowing for better sensitivity,
better break strength, and lower
diameter. A line that meets all these criteria
is braid. We recently got to test out
the new GT Zero Air PE Braid.
Testing Grounds: Natural Exotic Pond, Behrang
Series: GT-Zero AIR PE BRaid
Poundage: 20lb
Opponents: Amazon Redtail Catfish

Good Castability
The GT Zero Air PE Braid is a pretty
smooth line and being smooth allows
it to easily glide through the guides
of the fishing rod with low amounts
of friction. This is probably due to the
Teflon coating on the line that also
acts as a protective coat. This translates
to improved casting distances
of which means that one covers more
ground (or water) with every cast.

39

41
8 Strands
The GT Zero Air PE Braid
is braided together by eight
tightly weaved strands of
premium microfiber yarns at
32 weaves 32 weaves per
inch. Being tightly weaved
with 8 strands of microfiber
yarns gives the GT Zero Air
PE Braid a smoother body
with added strength.

Playing With
Gladiators

We recently took the GT Zero Air PE Braid
to the new Natural Exotic Pond in Tanjung
Malim, Perak; testing them against
the hard fighting gladiators that lie await
in these newly built arena.
43

Managing
Fights

45

The GT Zero Air PE Braid certainly casts
pretty well sending our baits (fish meat)
towards the area where the gladiators
were hiding out. Within minutes our
fishing rod took a bow signalling that a
gladiator has taken the bait.
With the drag set high, we started the
first few fights using a “tug of war” technique
where we the battles ensued using
brute force against brute force. Despite
high pressured fights the line stood its
ground landing every fish that took the
bait.

Contents Page 47
Conclusion
With many wins and plenty of photos, we had a satisfying
and successful field test. There was zero tackle
failure and as far as the GT Zero Air PE Braid goes, it
performed very well. Good knot strength, smooth, easy
to cast with, and strong.

Decoy Dancing Jack 82
Assist Hooks

J igging is certainly a fun fishing sport and with jigs
comes the need for assists hooks as most jigs do not
come with hooks. This brings us to the Decoy Dancing
Jack 82 Assist Hooks from Decoy, a reputable
hook brand in Japan.
49

Gold & Red
The Decoy Dancing Jack 82 Assist Hooks uses
gold coloured hooks with red nylon lines holding
them in place, held securely with red shrink
wrap. These hooks are really sharp and tough
too. They can certainly take heavy pressure.

51
Taking On Diamonds
The Decoy Dancing Jack 82 Assist Hooks were
brought to Pekan recently for a “test drive” to see
how they performed. Being sharp hooks they easily
penetrated the lips of hard fighting diamond
trevallies with a few good strikes.

Tough & Strong
Despite heavy pressure placed on the hook by
both fish and angler, the Decoy Dancing Jack
82 Assist Hooks held on well. The hooks did not
open nor did they break under pressure. Battles
took some time but before long, the anglers
proved victorious. The hooks stood up to the
fights well.

53
Summary
The Decoy Dancing Jack 82 Assist Hooks are really
good hooks that are sharp, tough, and capable
performing well during our test.

Abu Garcia
Revo SX Low Profile

57
NEW
A bu Garcia has a new line of low profile reels under
the Revo name that will be hitting the stores in a
few months time. These well known reels look sleeker
than their already sleek looking predecessors and
they come with a sportier design that sits very well
and comfortably in one’s palm. One of them is the
new Revo SX.

Sportiness

When it comes to design, Abu Garcia’s product team
certainly had a challenge as the current line up of Revo
reels look so good, and they stood up to that challenge
successfully. The new Revo SX comes with sporty lines
that taper narrower towards the front. It also has narrower
lips that enhances its already sporty design.
59

The Revo SX cast well thanks to its Infini brake system
of which consists of both a centrifugal and a magnetic
brake system that controls the spool really well (look out
for test drive article in suture issue). This certainly a good
reel to learn casting a low profile bait casting reel with.

Magnetic + Centrifugal Brakes
61

Easy Access

These brakes are easy to access as the Revo SX comes
with a “switch” type of lock that locks and unlocks with
the slide of a “switch.” Easy access means having your
lure spend more time in the water than on the boat.
63

Smooth Operator

The Revo SX is a smooth operator coming with 9+1
stainless steel bearings providing for smooth rotations of
the handle and good casting distance with its Infini IITM
spool. Line’s glide off easily at every cast.
65

Powerful Drag
Power Stack Carbon Matrix Drag System gives the
Revo SX a stronger, smoother drag, allowing for higher
pressure during battles with tough fighting fishes. Being
smooth also lowers the possibility of lines snapping due
to a sticky drag.

67

Features
9 stainless steel ball bearings + 1 roller bearing provides
smooth operation
X2-Cräftic alloy frame for increased corrosion resistance
C6 carbon sideplates provide significant weight reduction
without sacrificing strength and durability
Power stack Carbon Matrix Drag System provides extreme
drag pressures combined with unparalled smoothness
Duragear brass gear for extended gear life
D2 Gear Design provides a more efficient gear system
while improving gear durability
Everslik coated pinion shaft and pawl creates a diamond
like coating which improves wear resistance while
reducing friction
DuraClutch design provides improved engagement
and durability
Infini brake system allows almost limitless adjustability
to handle any fishing situation
Infini IITM spool design for extended castability and extreme
loads

Compact bent handle and star provide a more ergonomic
design

The New Revo Sees
An X
R evo, a trusted series in Abu Garcia’s stable
of reels just released a series of new reels with
more to come; the Revo generation 4 reels.
Some of the favourite reels amongst pro anglers
in America, the Revo series has grown steadily
over the years becoming a top seller.
Let us take a look at one of the latest Revo low
profile reels, the Revo X.

71
The Dark Side
The Abu Garcia Revo X low profile reel whispers
its association with the dark side. It comes
in matte black side plates and dark shiny frame
giving it the image of darkness. Matte black is a
good colour to use as it gives the reel a sporty
and not too flashy look; mysterious in a way.

Lightweight Corrosion Resistance

The Revo X comes with a an X2-Cräftic alloy frame
that is lightweight and gives better corrosion resistance.
It is also rigid giving the angler better confidence especially
when battling hard fighting fishes.
73

MagTrax Brakes

Brakes are super important without which most anglers
will find casting impossible. Lucky for us the Revo X
comes with the MagTrax Brake System of which is
magnetic. This proven system has been in use for a
very long now; providing consistent brake pressure
throughout the cast.
75

D2 Gear Design & Duragear

Gear help make battling the fish possible. They must
withstand the pressure exerted by both angler and fish.
The Duragear brass gear has been a staple in Abu
Garcia’s reels for many years. It is a tough and reliable
gear used in many of Abu Garica’s reels. The D2 Gear
Design provides for better efficiency.
77

DuraClutch

The clutch in a low profile reel helps the gear to kick
in when the handle is turned and the thumb-bar locked
back up in place. The DuraClutch systems provides
better engagement working more efficiently and kicking
in faster. It is also more durable.
79

81
Other Features
7 stainless steel ball bearings + 1 roller bearing provides
smooth operation
Carbon Matrix hybrid drag system for super smooth
reliable drag performance
Compact bent handle and star provide a more ergonomic
design
Lube port for easy access maintenance

Check It Out

The Revo X is a nice looking reel. It also feels nice in
the hands. It runs and operates smoothly. Certainly a
reel to consider. When you are in stores shopping for
a new reel, do checkout the Abu Garcia Revo X low
profile reel.

Shot of the waterfall at night.

Holidays and vacations are
taken to help get one’s mind
off the daily grind. But holidays
are not just about sitting back,
letting one’s hair down, and
do nothing, although doing
so can make for an excellent
holiday too. Fun recreational
activities help create better
memories too, adding plenty
of fun and excitement to one’s
holiday. Swiss-Garden Beach
Resort Damai Laut offers lots
of fun things to do.
89

91
Swiss-Garden Beach Resort
Damai Laut is a family friendly
holiday destination with plenty
of activities for all in the family.
While parents sit back and
read books or do more adventurous
activities like riding an
ATV, or jungle trekking; children
can hangout at the Kids
Club, paint batik, etc.
Here are some fun activities
that can be had.

Waterfalls at the pool.
Fun @The Po

93
ol
Swimming pools are lots of
fun and the pool at Swiss-
Garden Beach Resort Damai
Laut is designed for fun. It is
designed in a way that allows
for children and adults to have
fun. It is of non-geometrical
or irregular shape and has a
waterfall at one section, with
a small bridge that one can
swim under.

This allows for a more adventurous swim that
perhaps appeal to children, as they go swimming
under the bridge amongst the two pools,
and go “dolphining” under the splashes of the
waterfall.
95

^ Having fun in the pool amongst the faux rocks.

97

Fun @The
Kid's Clu
No family resort is complete without a Kid’s
Club. It is here where children can have lots of
fun in a safe environment. The Kid’s Club here
at the Swiss-Garden Beach Resort Damai Laut
offers activities for younger children and teens.

99

Those who love arcade machines will have a
field day feeding coins to these machines here.
All time favourite games like street fighter and
various shooting games are available. Should
one prefer a quieter game on a large table;
snooker is an option.

101

^ Snooker, a fun and challenging game.

103

Batik painting is a fun way to
help children (and adults) exercise
their creative side even
when on holidays and is available
here at the Kids Club with
a few designs to choose from.
But should one decide to just
do colouring or painting rocks
instead of batik, that can be
done too.
Available here at the Kid’s
Club other than batik and rock
painting are keychain painting,
t-shirt painting, mug painting,
and sand art.

105

Should children prefer to relax and not do much
they can sit back and watch cartoons here in
the comfort of an air-conditioned room.

107

Fun Fishing

Being a beach resort fishing is
certainly something one can
do. One can fish off the beach
(away from the main public
area) or opt to fish at the private
jetty. Personally I prefer
to fish at the private jetty as it
is quieter and the river mouth
it sits in is where fishes swim in
and out of the river. For baits,
squid can be purchased at the
resort to be used as baits.
109

Another reason why I prefer
fishing here at the jetty is because
it is quiet and away from
the crowd... in another words,
peace and tranquility.
111

Great Place For...
Picking Clams

The beach here is famous for
clams. With a bucket in hand,
one can go about picking
clams. These clams can be
boiled and eaten. Should you
decide to do so, do wash them
well as they live in the sandy
bottom of the beach and thus
contain bits of sand. Clams
can also be used as bait for
fishing.
113

Fun Horse Riding
Should one want to experience riding a horse on
a beach, horse riding is available at the beach.
Put on a helmet for safety and be on your way
(with a guide holding on of course). Should you
decide to do horse riding or any other activity
that requires one to wear a helmet that is shared
by many; bring along a shower cap for hygiene
purpose. Put on the shower cap before putting
on the helmet.

115

Fun Archery

Perhaps one has harboured dreams of becoming
Robin Hood. Fulfil those dreams here and
try your hand at archery; taking aim and shooting
at hay target boards. There are bows and
arrows to cater for younger teens and adults.
117

Archery can be a dangerous activity and as
such; do follow the instructions of the instructors
and adhere to the rules to ensure any untoward
accidents are avoided.
119

Fun Rides

121
ATV Thrills
For those that want more excitement, a ride on
an All Terrain Vehicle (ATV) will feed that want.
The ride goes through a designated track. Handling
the ATV is in itself is a fun and exciting
experience, drifting about the sand (or rather
losing control) and trying to go in a straight line.

ATV rides are plenty of fun and something
that I highly recommend. Note too that
it can be dangerous and ATVs are real
vehicles and must be handled with care.
Obey all instructions given and stick to
the route for safety reasons.ine.

123

Jet Ski Rides

After zipping about on land
in an ATV, why not zip about
on water. Jet Skis are lots of
fun. They are like ATVs but on
water. They are fast on water
too allowing one to enjoy
the wind in one’s face as well
as splashes of water. As with
all crafts that goes fast; it is
important to adhere to safety
rules.
125

Banana Boat
Ride

Another thrilling fast ride is
one on a banana boat being
towed by a motorboat. Hold
on tight as the banana boat
zips on the water going over
waves creating a bouncy thrilling
fun ride as one gets wet
from splashes of seawater. It
is a ride one must experience
to feel the thrill and exhilaration
of a boat that is named
after a fruit.
127

Kayaking

If speed is not your thing perhaps canoeing will
be. Canoeing about Remis Beach (the beach
that the resort is built on) is fun. One gets to
takes one’s time and slowly row about the area.
Another fun thing that I like to do when canoeing
and kayaking is to chase and ride the waves
back to shore.
129

Island Hopping

Island hopping is one of the must do activities
when one visits a beach resort such as
the Swiss-Garden Beach Resort Damai Laut.
Exploring some of the islands around the area
having fun and shooting photos is a good way
to capture the moments.
131

Snorkelling
Snorkelling too is lots of fun exploring the underwater
world around the waters off Lumut. That said, Lumut
in itself is not famous for snorkelling but certain
places nearer to Pangkor Island allows for snorkelling
with good visibility.

133
Visit Pangkor
Or if being in water is something you do not want to
do or have already done, why not take a boat ride to
Pangkor Island and just spend a few hours visiting
the area. Pangkor Island is famous for its sea produce
such as dried fish, squid, etc. It also has attractions
like the Dutch Fort, Tiger Rock or Historic Rock
(Batu Bersurat), boat building ship yard, etc.

Relax & Rejuvenate
After doing all these fun filled adventurous activities,
perhaps it is time to relax and rejuvenate. One can
do so at the Samsara Spa. The Samsara Spa offers
pampering massages, various treatments such
as body wraps, facial and nail care, etc.; wonderful
ways to bring peace and calm to one’s soul.

135
Golfing
Holidaying at a beach resort is not all about getting
wet in seawater and getting sand on your feet. The
Swiss-Garden Beach Resort Damai Laut has a golf
course too called the Damai Laut Golf And Country
Club.

This championship golf course is designed by
Ronald W. Fream offering golfers from beginners
to pros 18 challenging holes with a wide
range of playing lengths, from more than 6600m
scaling down through four sets of teeing positions
to about 4800m.

Superb Dining
Experience
It is nice to dine in beautifully decorated
and luxurious restaurants
once in a while when one is on a
holiday. And when we dine is such
places, the ambience of the place
add points to the experience.
What if you want something really
special and away from the crowd?
We had a wonderful dining experience
at the Swiss-Garden Beach
Resort Damai Laut in Lumut, Perak
recently.

145
Away From The
Crowd
Being an angler I tend to look out
for places to go fishing at especially
when I am on holiday. On my
recent visit to the Swiss-Garden
Beach Resort Damai Laut with
my family, special arrangements
were made and I had the opportunity
to dine and fish at the resort’s
private jetty; and yes, we dined in
private too.

Safe & Secure

The private jetty of the resort is used to send
guests of the resort to Pangkor Island. It is a
wooden floating platform linked to land by a
concrete bridge. It has railings along its sides
except for the areas where the boats are secured
to. This helps keep people from falling
over and into the river.
147

149
Nice Place For Fun
Fishing
Being a jetty it is a safe and fun
place to do some fun fishing. We
caught a good number of fishes
such as scads and threadfin
breams on apollo rigs. I used one
of them as live-bait but missed the
incoming tide (best tide to fish).
The best time to fish is when the
tide comes in. This brings more
fish such as barramundis into the
river. They swim past the jetty as
they make their way back in.

151
Dining Like VIPs
Want to feel like a VIP? We
certainly did feel like VIPs as
we dined at the jetty while
our fishing rods waited for a
fish to bite. We were the only
ones there apart from the F&B
staffs, the chef, and security.
The jetty was decorated with
lanterns that created a warm
romantic atmosphere.

The chef cooked on site preparing
awesome Italian cuisine
that we ordered earlier.
We were given cold towels
to cool off as dinner started
to be served beginning with
a tasty mushroom room soup
in a bun, followed by the main
course, and ending with dessert.
153

Superb Dining Experie

nce
Everything served was delicious
and the atmosphere of
the jetty, the special feeling
one gets when being pampered
in a place away from
the crowd makes the experience
so very good, I cannot
find words good enough to
explain. It is the best dining
experience ever. Should you
visit the Swiss-Garden Beach
Resort, Damai Laut; I highly
recommend this dining experience
called “Fish & Feast”
especially when you want to
impress that special someone.

The Asian Angler
Restaurant Kopi Aik Hooi
Tucked away from the busy Lumut Waterfront
town is a little known coffee shop called
Restaurant Kopi Aik Hooi, a place frequent by
the locals. We chanced upon it on our way out
of the Lumut Waterfront Town and decided to
stop for a meal although we just had one at the
Waterfront.

Otak-Otak

159
Otak-otak is a local delicacy made
of chili, curry, fish, etc. wrapped
in a leaf. Otak-otak is rather common
these days; mostly wrapped
in a palm leaf, and barbecued. I
prefer the original steamed Nyonya
type but these days they are
hard to come by. Restaurant Kopi
Aik Hooi is one place where one
can find the original Teochew style
otak-otak that is also steamed,
and the taste is heavenly.
What I like about the otak-otak
here is that it is cooked with big
chunks of fish, a tasty concoction
of curry, chili, and herbs, but
a special leaf gives it a very fragrant
flavour. The otak-otak here
is rather spicy. For those unable
to handle spicy food prepare a
glass of water before digging in.

161
Basic But Tasty
The food here is basic but tasty. I enjoyed a
lovely bowl of curry laksa (a curry noodle dish)
that has beans, barbecued pork strips, and tofu
cooked in rich soupy curry. We also had a bowl
of noodles with shredded chicken in soup that
this place is famous for. While these are delicious,
the winner (to me personally) is...

Restaurant Kopi Aik Hooi has
more to offer other than those stated.
They also have packed nasi
lemak (fragrant rice with chili),
economy fried beehoon (vermicelli),
noodles, dumpling noodles
(wantan noodles), porridge,
prawn noodles, etc. Do drop by
for a meal should you be in Lumut
Waterfront.

Abu Garcia 2017 Road Tou

165
r – Bintulu Challenge
The Abu Garcia 2017 Road Tour
– Bintulu Challenge was held recently
in Bintulu on the 6th of May
2017. The Road Tour was held as
a medium to give anglers an opportunity
to know about the latest
products from Abu Garcia and an
opportunity for anglers to have
fun through a mini tournament
and lucky draw with a chance of
winning prizes such as the latest
Revo4 MGXtreme 2 reels, Xrossfield
7 reel and Xrossfield rod from
Abu Garcia. The Road Tour was
jointly organized by Pure Fishing
Malaysia and Bintulu Fishing
Community, a Fishing Club based
in Bintulu.

The event was held at Tanjung
Batu Beach, Bintulu. This is the
main stage where tents were set
up for registration and a product
showcase. The stage overlooks
the rocky banks of Tanjung Batu
Beach making it just perfect for
the event. There were concerns
of bad weather following weather
forecasts which showed that the
weather during the event might
be bad. However things turned
out well with clear skies and calm
seas.
167

119 participants attended the
event .A total of 161 participants
were registered through online
registration and walk-in registration
during the event. Registered
participants received a goody
bag, a participant tag, and a slot to
compete in the mini tournament. It
was great to see participants of all
ages attending the event. Participants
came from around Bintulu,
Mukah, Miri, Sibu, Kuching and
even as far as Johor.
169

The event started with a briefing
on the event flow, tournament
guidelines, and safety guidelines;
at 7:45 am. After the briefing a photograph
session was held quickly
before the mini tournament began
at 8:30am. The mini tournament
was set to end at 12 pm. As the
mini tournament went on, a product
showcase was held at the main
stage. Some participants joined
the mini tournament while some
who gave up early went to look at
the product showcase. Some participants
even came just to visit
the product showcase.
171

At the product showcase participants
were given a chance to try
out some of the latest rods and
reels from Abu Garcia. The field
below the main stage made for
a great casting range. These two
participants (pic) above were students
from Bintulu Vocational College
who came just to check out
the showcase.
173

Mr. Kay Fairuz, an Abu Garcia
Malaysia representative manned
the showcase booth and he also
conducted some demo sessions
for visitors. Mr. Kay’s vast knowledge
of Abu Garcia products was
shared with anyone who asked.
In the photo Mr.Kay was doing a
casting demo in front of the showcase
booth.
175

The new Abu Garcia Revo LV7
was one of the reels from the latest
Abu Garcia Revo4 platform on
display. The whole range of Revo4
reels was on display for the showcase
alongside some Abu Garcia
rods. Some setups were prepared
for participants to try out. The highlight
was the Revo4 MGXtreme2
–the lightest baitcasting reel in
the world at just 128 grams. It was
passed from person to person. Everyone
who visited the showcase
was eager to try it out.
177

Meanwhile at the tournament,
marshals were kept busy with a
constant amount of catches from
participants. One rule was catches
must have a minimum weight
of 100grams to qualify. For participant
#052 (pic) his grouper is
just 5 grams short of the minimum
weight limit.
179

A well dressed participant with
his catch which was also short of
the minimum weight limit. All the
catches during the tournament
were various grouper species.
Tanjung Batu beach has a history
of some impressive catches such
as barramundi, mangrove jacks
and even giant trevally but unfortunately
the calm seas on the
event day only made it possible
to catch groupers. In Bintulu the
waters have to be rough to create
a chance for other species to
be caught. Clear waters and calm
seas meant that bigger fish would
not come close to shore.
181

Participant #021, Mr.Andy from
Mukah with his 140gram grouper
which secured his 3rd place in the
mini tournament. Coming all the
way from Mukah was certainly
worth it for Mr.Andy and I am sure
he drove back home with a smile.
183

This 215 gram grouper gave participant
#116, Mr.Mohamad his
first place finish. The tournament
was based on the heaviest catch
weight and Mr.Mohammad’s single
catch might just be one of his
greatest grouper catches as it won
him the new Revo4 MGXtreme2,
a superb prize for his first place
finish.
185

Participant #129,Mr.Nicholas with
one of his four grouper catches on
Berkley Powerbait soft plastics.
Another rule for the tournament
was hardbaits of any brands were
allowed but if an angler chose to
use soft plastics – only Berkley
products were allowed. The Berkley
Powergrub was one of the top
baits during the tournament as it
brought consistent catches of all
sizes.
187

All fishes caught during the mini
tournament were released safely
after weighing. This ensures that
the fun can continue for anglers
that come to Tg.Batu beach to fish.
189

After the mini tournament ended
at 12:00 pm., Mr. Kay conducted
a showcase on the latest Revo4
platform of reels from Abu Garcia.
Mr. Kay talked about the advantage
of each model, their different
braking systems, tuning opportunities
and what kind of application
each model was suited for.
191

After the showcase, a prize giving
ceremony was held. Here is Mr.
Ong Boon Cheng, product manager
of Pure Fishing Malaysia
handing the first place prize to Mr.
Mohamad Bin Madili. The second
place was claimed by Mr. Aswandi
Bin Zaini. The third place went
to Mr.Andy from Mukah. The ceremony
was followed with 2 special
categories which are the earliest
registered participant that went to
Mr. Ehsan Bin Ibrahim, and most
veteran participant; Mr.Hanif Ahmad.
After that a lucky draw session
was held with 20 lucky winners.
193

Mr. Hanif Ahmad – receiver of the
most veteran participant special
prize. It was impressive to watch
him fish with a baitcaster which is
not something you see much on
these here waters.
195

A photography session with the
three winners and Pure Fishing
Malaysia staffs. Congratulations
to all winners and it was a great
event. This event united anglers
from near and far in a fun atmosphere.
Many anglers voiced their
opinion that the event should be
held in Bintulu again next year.
In 2016 the road tour was held
in Rompin, 2017 in Bintulu, and
in 2018 only Pure Fishing knows
where. One will have to wait and
see.
