My fellow anglers and friends,

Greetings to all and Selamat Hari Raya Aidiladha to our

Muslim friends.
This is the month where school children get a break and will be rushing to
pick up a remote control of sorts or an Ipad or an android device and go about
gaming especially since Pokemon hit our world and tried to make us GO into
theirs. A lot has. Not just kids but adults. Since there is a week off school for
the kids, why not take your kids fishing instead. Get them hooked on fishing; a
healthy sport.
If youve not subscribe, click the link below now and do so now. Things are
about to change. The Asian Angler magazine will be upgrading massively.
There will be enhanced features coming and like Pokemon Go, draw you into
our world of fishing. These new enhancements will only be available to subscribers who will also continue to receive The Asian Angler for free. We may
not remain free to non subscribers after the updates. So, subscribe today and
get your friends to subscribe too.
Click:
http://www.theasianpublisher.com/magazine/theasianangler/theasiananglerinterstitial.html
Thank you and have a pleasant day. Happy fishing.

Best regards,
Phil
Founder, Editor In Chief

MGXtreme
Testing Grounds: Exotic Natural Pond
Series: Abu Garcia Revo
Model: MGXtreme
Opponents: Amazon Redtail Catfish

emember when you first got your drivers licence and the keys to your first car? Remember
the heart pumping excitement you felt when you
turned the ignition? When it comes to fishing reels I
seldom get these feelings these days having spent
many years in the industry until I was handed the
new Abu Garcia Revo MGXtreme.

11

Heart Pumping Excitement

As I held the new Revo MGXtreme for the first time

in my hands, I instantly fell in love with it. It was
love at first sight (maybe first touch). It felt light
and it felt snug in my hands being a smaller sized
reel. It was made for me (I wish).

Sporty Design

The new Revo MGXtreme is one sporty looking

reel. It comes with carbon fibre swept handle and
carbon fibre star drag. It has metallic red spool
control cap, handle knob (cork) covers, etc. Its
body is black in colour. Its good looks is not of
the Ferrari kind but more like the Bat mobile sort
of look. Dark and good looking.
13

Lighter In Weight

Comparing to the older Revo MGXtreme, the new

MGXtreme is lighter in weight. The previous Revo
MGXtreme weighs 139grams while the new one
weighs 128 grams. The difference may not seem
to be a lot in numbers but when it comes to feel,
the new MGXtreme feels somewhat lighter. Psychological perhaps.

IVCB-4 Brakes

The new Revo MGXtreme comes with the Infinitely Variable Centrifugal Brake (IVCB-4), a
proven and effective breaking system that allows
for very manageable casts. The IVCB-4 system
uses what is called a flying arm system to control
the spool.

15

Drag Power

To test the drag power of the Revo MGXtreme we

took it to our lab and put it through the pressure test.
We turned up the drag to about 80% and managed
to a respectable 8lb with zero loss of smoothness.
We then dial the pressure up higher getting a reading of slightly over 12lb. Still smooth. We squeezed
more and managed to peak at about 13.6lb; 1.6lb
over specs.
*Straight pull test without flexing the rod.

Live Performance

We took it to our usual field testing arena; the

pond where gladiators such as the Amazon red
tail catfish, the Mekong catfish, Asian red tail catfish, etc. standby for a fight and photo opportunities. First off; the Revo MGXtreme cast really
well giving good distances. Its IVCB-4 brakes
work really well making it an easy reel to cast.
17

The Battle

The Revo MGXtreme managed to turn quite a few

fishes, escaping the snags (luck too played its part)
and helping to tire the gladiators out fast with its
high drag. That said, we did lose a fish too that just
couldnt be stopped.

The new Abu Garcia Revo MGXtreme is a very

capable reel that is smaller in size and fits snugly
in my hands. Fitting snugly has a advantage. I
had a better overall grip which adds confidence
too during casting as well as during fights. As for
smoothness, it is smooth although one can certainly feel the IVCB-4 brakes working.

Testing Grounds: Barramundi Pond, Jugra
Series: Xrossfield
Model: AXFC531ML A
Opponents: Barramundi

ecently I have been teaching small 1 inch soft

plastic grubs to swim with the hopes of seducing
barramundis while doing so. Casting these small
grubs can be quite a challenge eapecially since
they are lightweight and the area where I fish is
windy.
25

Taking Flight

Walking to the waters edge and slowly walking

in is boring and thus taking flight into the pond
is the only option. The further the better. The
Xrossfield does this really well casting our little
learner way out giving it more area to swim. The
tip is really good for casting these lightweight
baits being flexible yet not too soft.

Nice Blank

The Xrossfield has a nice blank for this sort of

fishing. The 30 Ton graphite blank it comes in has
a good backbone to about 65% of the rod followed by a smooth curve all the way to the tip.
This adds to the enjoyment of the angler during
the battles. That said, the blank certainly does
not feel like a 30 Ton graphite blank but still, it is
a very enjoyable rod to fish with.
27

Clean Look

The Xrossfield comes with a clean black and

white design giving it a simple unassuming look.
This simple look does not translate to plain or
boring. It is simple in a good looking way.

Components

The Xrossfield comes with quality Fuji guides

and reel seat providing good performance with
smoother casts and reduced wear and tear on
fishing lines. It also comes with high quality EVA
handle.

The Xrossfield is a lightweight rod and it casts

really well sending my 1 inch softbaits far out into
the pond allowing me to cover more ground. It
also fights well with a slower tip but with enough
power to manage the fish. Every fight was an
enjoyable one.

Decoy
Plus Guard
VJ-75

Testing Grounds: Barramundi Pond, Jugra

Series: Plus Guard
Model: VJ-75
Opponents: Barramundis

ecoy Plus Guard VJ-75 jighead is a softbait anglers dream come true especially since it is weedless. It comes with a super sharp hook (I actually
got hook accidentally not once, not twice, but three
times) that easily latches on to skin (penetrates
easily), finger nails, plastic spoons, wood, etc.
37

Super Sharp

> These jigheads are really sharp.

Saltwater Torture

First we wanted to see how it will do in saltwater. We

placed one in a container of saltwater for over 24
hours. After over 24 hours we removed the jighead
for inspection and found no rust. We ran it through a
plastic spoon and it caught on confirming that it still
remains sharp.
39

> Still sharp after over 24 hours.

Field Test

To test the Decoy Plus Guard VJ-75 jighead we took

some lighter action tackle (since the jighead is for
finesse fishing) and headed to some barramundi
ponds. Since these ponds are known to have specimens from about 700 grams to about 2kg, I think the
Decoy Plus Guard VJ-75 can handle them.
41

Good Fit

I decided to use my old trusty Abu Garcia Revo

Premier reel with the new Abu Garcia Bass Beat
II rod rated light; for this test. For bait I used my
all time favourite Berkley Powerbait 1 inch grub.
For test I used the Decoy Plus Guard VJ-75 size
3 weighing 2.5 grams that fits the grub well.

Hook Strength

We hit a lot of fish and the hook penetrated the fishs

lips easily. We lost quite a few fishes too as they managed to throw the hook. Increasing the drag pressure
helped improve the landing rate. We also lost a few
good size fishes due to the hook opening up. We had
to turn the fish away from the water wheel and the
added pressure caused the hook to open.
43

Verdict

The Decoy Plus Guard VJ-75 jighead does what it is

designed to do well. It is super sharp penetrating the
fishes lips easily. It is weedless of which is great especially when fishing for fishes that hideout in weedy
areas. Step past its limits and it opens up of which
is good and bad. Bad because you lose a fish. Good
because it is easy to pull free when snagged. Bend
the hook back in shape and continue fishing.

The Asian Angler

Decoy

Round Magic
SV-52
Testing Grounds: Barramundi Pond, Jugra
Series: Round Magic
Model: SV-52
Opponents: Barramundis

he Decoy Round Magic SV-52 jigheads are

made for saltwater light game fishing. These jigheads come with super sharp hooks in sizes that
fit small baits such as 1 inch soft plastic baits and
they fit really well.

49

Hold Baits In Place

Having to readjust your soft baits after every

three or four casts are a thing of the past. The
Decoy Round Magic SV-52 jigheads comes with
bait holder that Decoy calls the Magic Keeper.
The Magic Keeper holds baits in place preventing them from moving and coming off the
hook.

How Good Are They?

No doubt that the Decoy Round Magic SV-52 jigheads

are good products after all most things made in Japan are good, right? To see how good they really are
we tested them. First we drowned one in saltwater
solution to test its saltwater capabilities in our 24
hours saltwater test.
51

After over 24 hours we removed the Decoy

Round Magic SV-52 jighead from the saltwater
solution and inspected it thoroughly for rust. We
didnt see any rust on the hook or the point but
there was a little discoloration at the eye.

Second Sharpness Test

After the staying in saltwater for over 24 hours we

wanted to see if it still remained as sharp as it was
or at least still sharp since saltwater is a corrosive
agent. Running the Decoy Round Magic SV-52 on
the surface of a plastic spoon proves it sharpness. It
easily held on to the spoon.
53

Field Test

To test the Decoy Round Magic SV-52 jigheads

we headed to some barramundi ponds to put
them against the powerful acrobats. Being
classed as light saltwater hooks I feel that the
barramundis in these ponds will be a suitable
challenger.

Handling The Fights

With a super sharp point, penetration into the fishs

lip was easy. They held on pretty well too helping us
land a good number of fishes. Just to up the fun in
our little tug-of-war with the barramundis we cranked
up the drag pressure. This time the hook bent open
when larger fish took the bait and ran.
55

Verdict

The Decoy Round Magic SV-52 jigheads are

super sharp and easily penetrates the lips of
the fishes that took the bait. We did lose a few
due to the hooks opening up when using higher
pressure. With an appropriate setup and drag
pressure the Decoy Round Magic SV-52 jigheads work really well.

Philemon Foo

Abu Garcia
Revo (new)
ALC-IB7
Smooth, Strong,
And Fun...

o you want lightweight baitcasting reel that

fits in your hands better than the mainstream
reels that are available out there today. You
want a reel that cast and operates as smooth as
silk, yet have the strength and power to battle
like the Incredible Hulk. Yes we do. We certainly
are a hard bunch to please.

61

Small Wonder

Small, lightweight, battles like the Incredible

hulk in silk. Without trying to sound like a tiny
cross dressing Incredible Hulk, the Revo ALCIB7 is all of that with a cute look. I seriously
meant cute. It also performs really absolutely
well.

Sporty Performer

The Revo ALC-IB7 certainly looks smaller. Pick it up

and it feels lighter. It looks sporty with its carbon
handle and black EVA knob. Cast with it and smiles
appear as it cast so easily or rather, effortlessly sending lures to very good distances. It is certainly an enjoyable reel to use.

63

Easy Spool Control

While the casting is smooth, the Revo ALC-IB7

is an easy reel to control reducing bird nesting or spool overruns during the cast. The dual
braking system being magnetic and centrifugal
makes the spool manageable even on harder
casts.

My Take

I could cast with this reel all day. It is light, easy to

cast with, and fits in my hands very well. The grip
is better as it is smaller in size as compared to the
more traditional Revos. Lovely reel indeed.
65

FEATURES
7 stainless steel HPCR bearings + 1 roller bearing
provides increased corrosion protection
Carbon Matrix drag system provides smooth, consistent drag pressure across the entire drag range
X-Crftic alloy frame for increased corrosion resistance
Ti coated line guide reduces friction and improves durability
Ultra duralumin gears for ultra smooth and tough performance
Infini braking system & magnetic braking system for
better cast control in many fishing conditions
Infini II spool design for extended castability and extreme loads
Compact bent star drag for better toughness and ergonomics
Carbon fibre bent handle for extra toughness, lightness, and better balanced cranking
Recessed reel foot allows for a more ergonomic reel
design
Lube port for easy access maintenance

The Asian Angler

Lightning Rod
X-Energy

he Berkley Lightning Rod series has long

been a favourite rod amongst snakehead hunters in Malaysia as they come with a very powerful backbone that can practically drag snakeheads out of their hiding places. The price too
has been a major attractor since they are priced
well.

75

The Lightning Rod X-Energy

The Lightning Rod series has certainly changed

over the years adding in more technology into
the mix giving birth to the latest series called the
X-Energy. The X-Energy certainly is still within
reach of the budget conscious angler even with
the added goodies.

X Wrap

The Lightning Rod X-Energy comes with the series

proven carbon graphite blank but to give it extra power and better endurance, Berkley added an X carbon wrap to it. This give the Energy-X better fighting
power.
77

Standard Components

To keep the prices affordable, Berkley chose to

use standard quality components for its guides,
reel seat, etc. staying away from the big brands.
Of course this does not mean that the components are not good. They are good products that
can indeed be relied on to catch fish.

Feel

Picking up the rod for the first time, the feeling of rigidity is instantly felt followed by its weight. It is not
certainly not a rod one will want to cast the whole
day with. It is not heavy per say. It is not lightweight
either. With such prices a durable and tough blank
overrides lighter and more fragile blanks... I dont
mean high quality lightweight blanks.
79

Is It For You?

I find that the Berkley Lightning Rod X-Energy

to be a good rod especially for bottom fishing or
those fishing in heavy cover. It is a very tough
rod with lots of backbone power. If I were to be
fishing in such conditions and want a good rod
without damaging my wallet, this would be my
weapon of choice.

83

with padded shoulder straps for additional comfort. These straps are insulated allowing for
some breathing or air space between the strap
and ones shoulders.

and materials allowing one to go on ones trips with
peace of mind focusing on the fishing and not having
to worry if ones bag will make it.

Braking Systems: Infinitely

Variable Centrifugal Brake
(IVCB-4)

he Infinitely Variable Centrifugal Brake (IVCB4) system came about some 8 or 9 years ago
with the first generation Abu Garcia Revo MGX. It
made cast control or spool control easier making
the then Revo MGX a good reel to learn bait casting with.

While to me, nothing beats reels that come both

with a centrifugal brakes system and a magnetic
braking system when it comes to learning bait casting; the then Revo MGX and its IVCB brakes was
really easy to cast with. Perhaps I should word it
this way; a forgiving reel to learn with.
> Dual brakes of the Abu Garcia Revo ALC-IB7
91

How Does It Work?

It works using centrifugal force. Take some line and

tie a sinker at one end. Hold the other end and spin
the sinker around. The faster you spin the higher
the forces pushing outwards, away from your hand.
That force is the centrifugal force. The faster the
spool spins, the higher the pressure on the brakes
(pins) that pushes outwards against the plate.

Flying Arm

The IVCB-4 uses the flying arm concept of which

is different than that of the traditional centrifugal
brakes. Four arms swing outwards against a plate
creating friction. The faster the spool spins the
higher the friction these arms apply on the plate.
93

Setting The Pressure

With traditional centrifugal brakes one needs to remove the side plates and release and lock certain
brake pins or brakes shoes. Releasing more pins
or shoes adds to higher brake pressure. Locking
more pins reduces the number of pins or shoes doing the braking thus lowering the pressure.

With the flying arm system in the IVCB-4, a dial is

used from the outside of the reel (at the side plate).
Turning the dial moves the plate nearer to or further
from the flying arms. Nearer for higher brake pressure and further for lower brake pressure. Removing two of the arms reduces pressure even further.
The Infinitely Variable Centrifugal Brake (IVCB-4)
system certainly has some benefits as compared
to the usual centrifugal systems. The main benefit
is the ease of setting. Another benefit is that the
IVCB-4 allows for more precise brake settings.

By Amirul Irfan

Fun with the Berkley Powerbait

3.8 Saltwater Slinky Shad

ne of my favourite baits to fish with is the 3.8

Berkley Powerbait Saltwater Slinky Shad. The Slinky
Shad is a deadly swimbait when it comes to Striped
Snakeheads. The Slinky Shad is available in two sizes which are 2.8 and 3.8 to fit multiple situations.

The Slinky Shad works well on multiple retrieves. One of

the easiest ways is a straight retrieve. My favourite way to
fish it is fishing it weightless in weeds and lily pads. This
Striped Snakehead took it right after shaking it on top of
lily pads. I used a 3/0 Mustad EWG Hook and rigged the
Slinky Shad weedless.
97

This fish slammed the Slinky Shad right after it

dropped from grass. The clear colour with silver
fleck is my favourite as it matches natural baitfish
colours. Snakeheads even eat it even if it is laying
motionless.

This snakehead blasted the Slinky Shad in thick

hydrilla. Eventhough the Slinky Shad wasnt in
the water this snakehead went for it. Matching
the hatch and fishing during prime feeding time
early in the morning was key.

99

This 45cm Striped Snakehead gulped the Slinky

Shad in an open area between reeds. The area had
baitfish congregating which caught my attention. A
quick cast with a stop and go retrieve fooled this
fish which is my biggest for the year. I also noticed
that this fish was recaptured. I released it 10 days
earlier after landing it with the Berkley Powerbait
Kasumi Craw.

Passing the Slinky Shad through key points like

grass islands and structure are good approaches to produce bites. This 30-ish cm snakehead
came from an area with a lot of reeds. It missed
the Slinky Shad for roughly 3-5 times before I
finally managed a good hookset.

101

This snakehead took the Slinky Shad just a meter in front of me. A great ending for a great birthday quick session. I dropped the Slinky Shad over
some grass and a solid whoop sound was a signal to set the hook hard with my Abu Garcia Revo
Rocket and Abu Garcia Veracity Pro 10-20lb.With
30lb Berkley Super Fireline, a solid hookset was no
problem. The feeling of making a solid hookset with
a solid fish at the end of the line is amazing.

All snakeheads in this article were released.

Let them grow bigger and give other anglers a
chance to catch them and who knows you might
catch them again as well. The snakehead I recaptured had a little increase in weight. Recapturing it was beyond my expectations and it
drives me to continue releasing snakeheads for
future fun.
