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.
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. 15
a i d a l G n O g n i Tak
ators
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. 17
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.

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
37
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
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.
41
h t i W g n i y a Pl s r o t a i d a l G
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
g n i g a n a M s t h Fig
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.
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. More on this new pond in this issue. Click here to read. Contents Page

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.
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. 51
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.
Summary
The Decoy Dancing Jack 82 Assist Hooks are really good hooks that are sharp, tough, and capable performing well during our test.

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. 57
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 Ti coated line guide reduces friction and improves durability Lube port for easy access maintenance

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.
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.
71
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
MagTraxâ„¢ 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
DuraClutchâ„¢
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
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
81
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. 83

olidays 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
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.
91
o P e h T @ n Fu
> Waterfalls at the pool.
l o Po Swimming pools are lots of fun and the pool at SwissGarden 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.
93
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.
e ub
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...
s m a l C g n i k Pic
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
g n i d i R e s r o H n Fu
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
ATV Th rill
s
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. 121
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
g n i p p o H d Islan
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
g n i l l e k r Sno
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.
r o k g n a Visit P
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.
133
e t a n e v u j Relax & Re
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.
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.
135
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. 137

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.
143
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.
145
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
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.
149
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.
151
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
ence
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.

Foodies The Asian Angler
Restaurant Kopi Aik Hooi
T
ucked 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.
157
Otak-Otak
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.
159
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... 161
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. Information Open daily except on Fridays Time: 6.30am to 12.30 noon None halal

Abu Garcia 2017 Road Tou
ur – Bintulu Challenge T
he 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.
165
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.
