I apologize for the lateness in the recent issues. We are doing what we can to
bring things back to normal. The changes we have gone through came with a
set of bugs on its own and we are clearing them as they appear.
We are adding something new into The Asian Angler. We started off not wanting to touch fishing articles but more and more readers have asked us to include some fishing articles as well. We have resisted long enough and will start
adding fishing articles to as when we get them.
Meanwhile, I hope you enjoy this issue. Do share us with your friend too by
sending them the link to our site via Whatsapp. The more readers we have, the
longer we can remain free.
Thank you and have a pleasant day.

Series: Revo Toro Beast
Model: REVO T2 BST61-HS
Opponents: Golden Snappers & Cobias
he bull is one of the toughest animals in the animal

Kingdom. It is full of muscle, is extremely tough, and
a powerful fighter. It takes more than one tiger to drop
a bull. The bull in Spanish is called Toro. Abu Garcia
does indeed have a powerhouse of a reel called Toro.
This is the Toro Beast.
Last issue we introduced the Abu Garcia Revo Toro

Beast; sharing with you some of its features. This time
we put it to the test in the real world. But before that
here are some things that are worth highlighting.
To Related Article
11
Good Size
The Abu Garcia Revo Toro Beast 61 HS is a good

sized reel that sits comfortably in my hands. While
some may say that it is a bit too big (depending on
ones hands) it is larger than the normal low profile
baitcasting reels as the Beast is made to take on
hard fighting saltwater fighters and big freshwater
gladiators.
Gear Ratio
The Abu Garcia Revo Toro Beast has a gear ratio of

6.2:1 with a retrieval speed of 86cm per turn. Not supersonic fast but fast enough especially for a saltwater reel with the power of the bull.
13
Braking Systems
When it comes to Braking the Revo Toro Beast

comes with both a magnetic brake system with 8
magnets and a centrifugal braking system. Having
both types of braking systems in one reel allows for
more versatility and better casting controls. In short,
you have more options.
Magnetic System with 8 magnets.
15
Back At The Lab
The dial that controls the setting on the magnetic brakes.
To test the drag power of the Revo Toro Beast we

took it to our lab and put it through the pressure
test. Abu Garcia claims that the Beast has a maximum drag of 25lb. We managed to get it to 25lb
with relative ease, and then some more, accidentally touching 27lb. r.
17
Field Test
In The Ring
We tested the Beast out at sea. It cast pretty well

casting jigs, lures, and live baits to good distances.
While bottom fishing the Beast has the ability to tirelessly reel in the weight of the heavy sinker (about
half kg.). It certainly has a powerful gearing system.
When it comes to the fight it has enough power to

manage and subdue hard fighting fishes landing
snappers, silver trevallies, cobias, etc. with relative ease. With its powerful drag it easily tires out
fishes as they run. Its drag performed smoothly too
throughout our trip with zero hiccups.

Verdict
Big EVA power handle knobs provides for a more comfortable grip.

Pflueger
President Limited Edition
In December we introduced the Pflueger President
Series: President Limited Edition

Model: PRESLESP40
Limited Edition spinning reel, the dark knight; not

the Batman Dark Knight but the sinister kind that
keeps King Arthur up at night. Thus now it is time to
put it to the test.
Testing Grounds: Natural Exotic Fishing Pond

Opponents: Amazon Red Tail Catfish

Powerful Drag
Pflueger claims that the President Limited Edition

Comes with a 12lb maximum drag. That is certainly
a decent drag pressure for such a reel. Let us see
if it will do what it says it can do in our lab. More importantly, will it remain smooth under the maximum
drag pressure.
Lab Test
With a target of 12lb in mind we put the President

Limited Edition to the pressure test. We pushed the
drag all the way up and managed to get it to 12lb
easily. However, we could still increase the drag. We
managed to get it to 14lb. The drag is now maxed
out and it still smooth at this poundage.
27
Field Test
Line: Berkley Fireline Braid

Poundage: 20lb
Having cast our baits near the pillars we awaited

for the gladiators to take our baits. As usual they
obliged and the fight ensued. The rod bent and the
gladiator took off. With the drag almost maxed I had
to drop the rod cutting off the pressure on the fish
getting it to stop. Palming the spool I dragged it out
further away from the pillars and into open waters.
Managing Fights
In the open, the fish ran and the drag performed

smoothly all the time. It didnt take long for the gladiators to throw in the towel. We didnt lose any fish
despite having end up in the pillars a few times due
to the softer action of the rod. We fought a few hard
fighting gladiators and the President Limited Edition
remained smooth.

Pflueger Supreme XT
flueger has always been on the lighter side of

things and the same thing can be seen with the Supreme XT of which Pflueger claims to be the lightest in its class. Its light weightiness is achieved
with the use of a magnesium body and rotor, lightweight carbon fibre handle, and ported aluminium
spool.
Modest Design
When it comes to design, the Supreme XT is modestly

designed. Not too flashy and not too loud, this reel may
not create a commotion but its subtle metallic candy orange linings on the gun metal coloured aluminium spool,
and the sporty looking light weight handle holds hints of
its character.
35
Casting Abilities
The aluminium spool comes fitted with rubber which allows braided lines to hold on too and not slip. The Supreme XT is not a sleeper. With braided lines filled in it is
ready to take on fights and the tough aluminium spool is
not one to crack under pressure.
Smooth Performance
The Supreme XT is a smooth performer. It is smoother

than some of the reels that carry a higher price tag. The
smoothness is unlike some of the more high end reels
that feel almost vacuum like. There is a hint of connectivity of the handle to the gears. Just a hint.
37
Ready For The Sea
The Supreme XT comes ready to take on the finned creatures of the sea. It comes with 10 HPCR (High Performance Corrosion Resistant) bearings to resist the corrosive qualities of saltwater, and a sealed carbon fibre
drag system that blocks out water, and provides for what
Pflueger claims to be a 14lb max drag on this size 40 reel.
Lab Test
Line: Berkley Nanofil

Poundage: 17lb
Back at our lab we put the Supreme XT to the test. With a

14lb max drag target we pushed up the drag and the torture begun. It easily touched 14lb and then it maxed out
at 18.5lb; very impressive. The drag remained smooth
with no sticky feel.
39
Field Test
Line: Berkley Nanofil

Poundage: 17lb
To test the Supreme XTs prowess in the real world

we brought it to the Natural Exotic pond in Rawang,
Selangor (Malaysia). We pitted it against the some
of the hard fighting predators that lie in wait for a
battle. We cast our baits near the pillars of the restaurant that sits on them.
Good Control
The Supreme XT had a few fights being able to manage the Amazonian red tail catfishes that took our
bait. There is enough drag to pull the fishes out of
the danger zones. The drag is also smooth even on
high drag. There was no sign of stickiness from the
drag even after a few fights.

The Pflueger Supreme XT may be a modestly design

reel but when it comes to fishing, it is by no means modest. It is smooth (both cranking and drag), it has a strong
enough drag, and it fights well. One more thing I like to
add is that it lays lines in the spool well too. So, here you
go... a reel in a simple modest package.

Pulau Jarak Escapade
Fishing With Man Botak
ulau Jarak (Jarak Island) is a little rock island

off Lumut, Perak; a coastal town west of Malaysia.
The waters around Pulau Jarak is a well known fishing spot. For many years anglers have been heading out to Pulau Jarak; to relief ones lack of fishing
itchiness.
The Skipper
Our skipper this time round is the funny, cheerful, and

knowledgeable Man Botak. Man pronounced Mun as
in gun can be translated to friend while Botak translates to bald. Man Botak = Bald friend or something
along those lines. We met him at the Lumut Yacht
Club and from there we shot towards Pulau Jarak.
83
Catching Baits
Time For Some Serious Fishing
Live baits are great for bottom fishing and thus the
first thing to do is to head out to places where bait
fishes hangout. Using apollo rigs we dropped them
to the bottom and started to jig them. Bait fishes instantly hit them and within about 15 minutes we had
more than enough live bait for our fishing.
With enough baitfish (selar, kembong, and little fishes

that look like mullet) we shot off to our first fishing
spot where the action starts and we get to test some
fishing tackle. Hooking the baitfish by the nose, we
dropped them all the way to the bottom (depending
where the fishes are on the sonar) and before long
we were on to fish. This spot brought up a few hard
fighting silver trevallies.
85
Silver Trevallies
Snappertopia
These shiny silver knights are hard fighters but

they are no match for our tackle; not forgetting the
half kilogram weighted sinkers that they had to put
up with. We had to fight these sinkers too, as well as
the currents, and the swaying boat. At the end these
white knights got to have their pictures taken.
The next secret spot that Man Botak took us to is

where the snappers lived, Snappertopia. We decided to do some jigging and Abu Garcia Skid Jigs
were the chosen bullets. Bouncing the jigs off the bottom registered some hits followed by the torture of
the Abu Garcia Jiggernaut rod bending it better than
Beckham.
87
Night Fishing
The Jiggernaut paired with the Penn Fathom overhead powerhouse reel proved to be too much for
the hard fighting snappers. They fought hard. They
had a few runs but were still subdued and in no time
brought up to smile for the cameras.
The world around us turned dark. The only lights we

had come from the tubes of LED bulbs that gave us
the needed light to continue fishing. The nightshift
working snappers kept us entertained until the winds
suddenly turned cold.
89
The Final Battle

As the cold winds blew, the
boat started swaying violently.
White caps started appearing
followed by flashes of lightning lighting up the night sky.
We prepared to head back to
land but not before the biggest
snapper of our trip decided to
go for one final rampage. The
final battle ensued as rain
drops and strong winds turned
into an ugly storm. Fighting in
a storm is tough but still the
angler came up tops.
Products Tested: Abu Garcia Salty

Stage Skid Jig
These high quality jigs are well balanced and inspired

by the darting and attacking action of squids. It also,
mimics a squid skidding from side to side when it is
in distress and the skidding motion, creates lots of
flashes in the water.
91
Abu Garcia Jiggernaut Rod
Bouncing the skid jig at the bottom produced snappers during our trip. The average height movement
from the bottom to the top of the jigging motion is
about 3 feet. This movement plus the action of the
Skid Jig proved successful on this trip.
The Jiggernaut is a rod that we tested much earlier

(prototype). It has since been through some improvements and thus saw some action on this trip. It has a
good action and has enough power to manage hard
fighters despite being quite a slim rod.

Lure Fishing Basics
Yo u r Ta c k l e
Part 5
ver the past 4 issues we have talked about lure

types and last issue we discussed lure adjustments
or tuning. Last issue I mentioned that we will go into
lure playing techniques in this issue but as I wrote and
wrote about the techniques, it occurred to me that I forgot something important; the equipment.
Things To Note
Before you cast, note that how your lure acts and the effectiveness of it depends on a few other things as well.
Think of yourself as the driver. Your rod is the steering
wheel, the reel is your engine and the reel handle is
your accelerator, and the line is like your fuel.
97
The Rod
I equate your fishing rod to your steering wheel because

it moves the lure in the direction you intend the lure to
move in. Point your fishing rod upwards to have the
lure swim at a slightly higher depth or down to allow it
to swim to a lower depth.
Pointing the rod to the left or right will change the trajectory of the lures direction to the left or right. This is
used sometimes to avoid something or to target something of which you want the lure to swim past.
99
Rod Action
How your lure acts underwater depends also on the action of your rod especially the tip section. Some rod tips
are too soft and is unable to manipulate the lure thus
the lure may have a weaker swim action depending on
your retrieval technique . This is especially true with
deep diving lures. All said, any rod can be used as long
as it is able to manage the lure and thus It is important
to use an appropriate rod for your style of lure Fishing.
The Reel, Your

Engine
One thing to understand is that like an engine of a car,

some reels are faster and some are slower, depending
on gear ratios and to a certain extent, handle lengths
(especially if youve changed your handle to a longer or
shorter one).
101
Reel speeds do effect the lures action. Like an engine,

if you change reels to one with a different speed (gear
ratio), you will need to adjust your cranking speed; or
how fast you crank the handle of which is like the accelerator of a car. The faster you crank, the faster your
lure swims. Slow down your cranking and the lure will
swim slower too.
An example of how speed can affect your fishing is when

you fish for sebaraus ( Hampala macrolepidota). These
speed hunters love to chase down prey and speed is
important. On a high speed reel your catches may be
quite constant and when you change to a lower speed
reel but you still crank the reel at the same cranking
speed that you are used too, your catch rate drops.
103
Lines, Your Fuel
Well, sometimes it could be that the fishes have gone

or its meal time has passed, as some put it. But it could
very likely be the case of a lure swimming too slow especially if there are no changes to the conditions of nature.
The reason I liken lines to the fuel or petrol for a car is

because it actually plays the part. How far you lure flies
depends generally on the weight and design of your
lure (of course), as well as the line type, diameter, and
weight. Needless to say if youve got not enough line
your lure will not be able to go the distance but that is
usually not the case because commonsense dictates
that you have enough line in your spool, right?
105
The diameter and line weight does affect your casting

distance too, even if the conditions of nature such as
wind, air pressure, etc. are not taken into consideration.
The thicker the line the more resistance even to air itself.
The heavier the line, the more weight the lure has to
carry with it throughout its flight and thus the additional
burden on the lure, reduces its distance. Does it not
sound like the fuel type you choose to use in your car?
Ron 95 vs Ron 97 vs Ron 99... of course the condition
of your engine; in this case, the reel, plays an important
part too.
107
Another thing to note about lines is that they have resistance in water. Some lines float, some sink faster
than others, and some makes more noise than others.
Pay attention to your line. If you are fishing at a deeper
depth you will want to choose a line that will help your
lure get down to that depth faster.
With that in mind a faster sinking line will be the best

option. Fluorocarbon or lines with Fluorocarbon properties work best. Fused lines work great too especially
when the need is for a sinking line that has a smaller
diameter and line noises are not part of the worry. But
should you want to fish top water, a line that floats will
better. Your best choice will thus be braided lines.
Above: Fluorocarbon sinks the fastest.

109
Terminal Tackle
When it comes to terminal tackle I prefer them small

but strong. So dont skim on them. Note that terminal
tackles such as snaps and swivels are additional weight
that the lure will have to deal with. Generally the smaller
your lure, the smaller the terminal tackle. Using a tiny
snap normally used with 4 inch lures, on a large trolling
lure is a bad idea too.
As for hooks, most lures will come with a set of hooks.

Most of these hooks are treble hooks. You have the
option of changing them to either stronger trebles or to
single hooks. Whichever the choice ensure that you get
one with is of the appropriate size. If unsure, it is best
to get one that is of similar size to the one that your lure
came with.

These little technicalities are things to consider every

time you pack for a fishing trip, especially one that involves casting. There is no one rod for all types of fishing and there is no line, snap, swivel or hook for all
types of lure fishing. The information in this article will
help you a long way.

The Asian Angler
All About Hooks:

Part 5 Assist Hoo
ks
ssist hooks are hooks that you normally see secured to metal jigs. They are hooks secured to a piece
of cord which is made of Kevlar, Polyethylene, etc.
These cords are then fused in with a heat shrink material.
Some assist hooks are linked to a ring at the other end.

Some of them are linked to another hook (double assist
hook). Some cords are just tied into a loop. All these
options are for the angler to choose from depending on
his or her preference.
115
y
h
W
?
e

U
Assist hooks being secured to the jigs with cords, are

allowed to hang freely. They are not rigid. This means
that they can move in many a direction of which also
means that they can hook fish in many a place. It also
increases hook up rates.
Rigid Is Not Always Good
When it comes to metal jigs especially heavier ones,

a hook secured to a jig in a rigid manner is actually a
disadvantage to the angler. Every fish that gets hooked
will shake its head to try to get it off. Having a hook that
is attached to a jig in a rigid manner increase the likelihood of the fish freeing itself from the hook using the
weight of the jig as leverage.

Salmo Hornet Story - Secretive
Histor y
Rise of a New Classic Legend Part 1
Some lures come, some lures go. Some stay lon-
ger than others while some disappear faster than the

speed of light. However some lures tend to beat the
test of time and seemingly last forever, these are the
evergreen and popular legends that would easily finds
its place in every angler heart, and their tackle boxes.
Salmo Hornet may not be new to anglers in many parts

of the world. In fact, it is just celebrated its 20th anniversary and is Salmos best selling lure. There was a time
when stocks had to be rationed due to an overwhelming demand in the United States. For some reason it
has remained a secret weapon for some of the anglers
but its reputation is growing and has the potential of
becoming one of the legendary lures.
119
Introduction
The reason for its overwhelming sales is simple. Salmo

Hornet lures catch fish! It does so very easily by fishing
using the simplest lure playing methods that every lure
angler knows and is accustomed to. Even for beginner
the Salmo Hornet catches fish. After all it is as easy as
casting out your Salmo Hornet and retrieving it back in,
of which is a simple technique that catches fish.
The Salmo Hornet covers a full range of sizes and many

characteristics making them a lure series that covers almost every fishing conditions be it streams, ponds and
lakes, brackish waters, and out at sea. From tiny 2.5cm
lures to large 9cm lures, Salmo Hornet has a size for
just about every crank baiting styles; from ultralight to
trolling to heavy cover game fishing.
121
Nostalgia
Salmo Hornets comes with a hosts of different variations that suits all sorts of fishing such sinking and floating models, longer diving lip that helps deflect the lure
off structures ad to dive deep, as well as rattling models
for bait casting enthusiast. With an amazing lineup as
such in one package, it is no wonder why the Hornet is
a widely accepted and sought after lure.
The first time I set my eyes on the Hornet was way

back in June 2011 at the now defunct Oceansea Sport
Fishing Tackle, Seri Kembangan; where I used to hang
out almost daily back it its heyday. Being there almost
daily seeing lures new and old come and go, nothing
much go by me without me noticing. After a while it
got bored(something anyone who hangs out daily in the
same tackle shop can attest to) as most products are
the same but with a different name.
123
The Salmo Hor net
Structure
However the Salmo

Hornet
immediately
caught my eye as soon
as I saw them. They look
different but in some familiarly good way. You
may call me idealistic
but Salmo somehow
reminds me of a classic
and legendary lure, a
lure from days gone; to
me, a walk down memory lane especially the
way they performed.
Featuring a rather rounded shad profile with a dizzying yet familiar array of colors, the Salmo Hornet lures
are crank baits made out of hardened foam with wired
through construction which bears striking similarities to
the traditional balsa lure of the past in terms of texture
and weight. The difference is in the condensed foam
used in the Salmo Hornets body that is almost unbreakable as compared to the balsa counterpart.
125
Casting
I drove home the proud
owner of a couple of
Salmo Hornet lures that
very same day, Being a
rather impatient angler,
I put them to the test the
very next day. The feeling of nostalgia hit me
as soon as I cast out its
very first cast.
The foam body is far superior to some brittle plastic

lures that are widely available in the market today. This
amazing test of strength is shown on YouTube too,
whereby different types of lure bodies were put under
the mercy of a hammer! In addition, the Hornet comes
with a nearly unbreakable lip design coupled with wire
through design, making them the hardiest lure I have
ever fish with to date.
It was exactly the same as its similarly profiled balsa

wood brethren. That said, I would recommend casting
the smaller 2.5cm to 5cm Hornets with spinning gear.
The Rattling Hornet 4.5cm could go a mile even on a
baitcasting setup.
127
To Be Continued
The bigger Hornets and to some extent the 5cm ones

can easily be cast using a casting setup. The smaller
Hornets of 4cm and below would be perfect for ultralight fanatics, whereas 5cm and 6cm are more for the
regular casting baits, with the 9cm Hornets reserved for
the diehard heavy duty and heavy cover enthusiast.
Next issue we will go further touching on action, application, etc. For now I wish you happy fishing and do
give the Hornet a try.

Junior Anglers
By Amirul Irfan
Time For Crankbaits
ello everyone!
I have got sad news. One of my favourite fishing spots is

getting covered. The snakeheads here have taken a lot of
my time, and it is sure worth every second pent on it.
The fishing has been very tough due to construction work

to cover the pond. After a week of fishing without any bites
on multiple lures, I tried crank baiting. I managed to unlock
the biting pattern. The wobble and vibrations of a crankbait
are irresistible to haruans.
131
My younger brother caught this solid snakehead on a

steady, slow retrieve with the Duo Realis Crank 48 SR.
So far haruans of all sizes go for crankbaits. Single
hooks were used to keep the crankbait in the strike
zones longer which are along grass and weeds.
This juvenile came from under some water hyacinths. It was hooked on a limited edition Berkley
crankbait which was designed for Bream. I had multiple hits from larger snakeheads which also came
from under the water hyacinths.
133
A double hook up. My buddy caught his haruan on the

3 Zman MinnowZ with a steady retrieve over a weedbed. He used a Surecatch Meteorite 8-17lbs rod while
I used the Surecatch D-Legend 10-20lb rod. Both rods
were great in handling haruans.
This juvenile was caught beside some weeds by my

younger brother. It ambushed the crank along a grass
edge. From the sound of splashes, I thought it was a big
one. As I approached my younger brother, I saw this little
haruan. It was definitely a fighter.
135
Bring Your Kids Fishing

Every child needs to spend time outdoors. Fishing in a safe and educational
sport that both your child and you can
bond with..
Here is a juvenile Sebarau on a pressured river. There

are nets along the river and the river is located just beside a main road. I fished for 2 hours without any bites.
Right before leaving this Sebarau took my spoon on my
last cast with a stop and go retrieve. It ambushed my
spoon during the fall, beside a weedbed.
Good luck again in 2016 and as always practice catch &
release and stay safe while fishing.
Put away those tabs, iPhones, Androids,

and pick up a reel, rod, line, hook, and
sinker... Dont forget some bait.
Happy Fishing.

Leech Socks
eeches are pesky yucky creatures, the nightmare of

many an urbanite. These creatures are the vampires of
the wild. As anglers we encounter them sometimes on
our fishing trips into the jungles especially during the wet
season.
One of the ways to counter these pesky vampires is to put
on a good pair of leech socks the next time to hike into
the jungle, heading towards your favourite fishing hole.
