FISH FEATURING :

This is what everyone’s been waiting for, end of the monsoon and the start of the fishing season! Do you have your gear ready? Well I’m sure the folks around Penang were preparing way in advance for this very day.

Last year, on 27th November, Shimano held its Open House at Sunway Hotel Seberang Jaya in Prai, Penang. And despite a heavy downpour, the event saw a large turnout. A wide array of Shimano products was on display and attendees had a chance to try out the latest Shimano products such as Vanquish and OCEA Conquests reels, Jigwrex UD rod and Shimano’s new Kairiki braided line.
