This month we launch a few new things. Being a Digital Magazine we
are pushing further the interactive boundaries. The Asian Angler now
comes with videos. You can read & watch The Asian Angler. How cool
is that?
We have also decided to do a lite version for readers with slower internet speeds of which is easily loaded.
This month we add new sections to The Asian Angler and they are
“Knowledge Wise” and “History Buffs,” both fantastic additions, so do
check them out inside.
Here is a piece of good news, we have gone international. Our records show that the majority of our readers are from Malaysia & Singapore, followed by Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Australia, USA, Indonesia, Philippines, & Europe. With that in mind we look forward to
adding “stuffs” for the international market in the near future.
Before I pen off I would like to take this opportunity on behalf of The
Asian Angler & our families to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas,
& a Fantastic Happy New Year.
Thank you.

Shimano Scorpion DC
By Philemon Foo
I have heard about the Shima-
no Scorpion DC. In fact I have
also used the Shimano Scorpion DC but never long enough
to get intimate.
So far it has been an okay reel
to me and I always find myself
running back to my favourite
Abu Garcia reels.
I have good reasons to do so.
I don’t own those reels and I
tried them out because friends
that I fished with encouraged
me to give it a try and I always
get a bit worried if anything belonging to someone else were
to go wrong in my hands.
The Shimano Scorpion DC, a reel driven by technology.
7
8
The Shimano Scorpion DC is an easy reel to cast and it is because of the DC
Technology.
Lines changed and ready to hit
the ponds.
Two Weeks With The Scorpion DC
I have written emails to a few tackle distributors to test drive and
feature their products but most remain quiet and thus I asked for
help from a close angling buddy of mine and he was more than
happy to let me have a go with his reels. So I decided to test drive
his Scorpion DC.
The first thing I did was to have the lines changed to my own lines
as I did not want to lose any line belonging to my friend. Then I
paired the reel to my favourite casting rod, and secured a casting
plug to the line. Now the fun begins.
9
Easy Caster
I take the setup out to the playground and started to fish on dry land.
Some kids playing nearby walked up to me and one of them asked
“uncle nak tangkap apa?” (Translated to “uncle, what are you catching?”). That was a funny experience.
The Shimano Scorpion DC is an easy reel to cast with. It is one of
those reels that are very forgiving. It is like driving an automatic car.
Just put the gear in “D”, step on the accelerator, and you are on your
way.
The Scorpion DC felt just like that. Just choose the right setting of
which is based on line type, press down the thumbar, and cast. The
likelihood of an overrun is almost none existent. It is a reel that beginners to baitcasting, will find easy to learn with. Just set the reel right
and cast. The DC thingy inside will do the rest of the work.
Casting the Scorpion DC is also quite addictive as one tries to push
the reel further and further. Yes it can and will reach a point where it
surrenders but then again that applies to all reels.
10
So What The Heck Is DC
DC is actually short for Digital Control
of which is like a little computer sitting
inside the reel. This little computer does
not have batteries and the power actually comes when the spool rotates,
somewhat like how a dynamo gives
electricity to a lamp.
The DC braking system is pre programmed to allow the spool to spin at
maximum speeds before engaging the
brakes and it also provides control by
applying the brake forces at different
intervals during the cast. This would
explain why sometimes during the cast,
an overrun seems to be building up but
then somehow the reel fixes that.
The DC feature was previously available at higher end reels and only recently made available in the mid range
reels.

as I will not break a reel not belonging to me.

* For more information on the DC braking
system, stay tuned for January 2013 issue of The Asian Angler where we discuss
Magnetic Braking Systems as well as the
DC.
12
Real Time Test
To see how the Shimano Scorpion DC
performed in the real world of fishing
I headed down to my favourite haunt
where catching fish is almost guaranteed.
I cast out the bait and in a few minutes,
was onto a fish. The fish took the line
for a run and the drag jumped in to do
its job. The drag performed smoothly
and well. No jerking movements were
felt as I allowed the fish to run.
When the fish came to a halt I tighten
the drag bit by bit and slowly played the
fish allowing it a few more short runs.
At the end of the fight I reeled the fish
towards the landing net with relative
ease.
After a few more fishes I allowed the
Shimano Scorpion DC some rest while
I tested out other reels.
6.3:1 Gear Ratio seems to have lost its limelight to the two alphabets
above it, DC.
13
14
My Thoughts
All in all the Shimano Scorpion DC performed well. The drag is smooth and is
just enough to help you play and/or control
most of our freshwater fishes (just as long
as you’re not hooked to a giant toman
homing in on structures).
The reel cast well too and with that I
meant the DC’s control of the spool; really
minimizes overruns. The down part will be
the casting distance which I felt to be not
as good but still acceptable.
The Shimano Scorpion DC makes learning baitcasting easier if one is willing to
spend that kind of money. However, learning on the DC system may hamper one’s
casting ability when one needs to casts on
non DC reels.
So my take would be this, it makes a good
reel to acquaint one to baitcasting (if one
has a bigger budget) but one should also
use none DC reels to better one’s casting
skills.
So, will I buy one? Indeed I will.
Do research this point please. What we know is that the DC is sealed in
and is waterproof. What we cannot confirm is that since the Malaysian
weather is hot and humid, there are claims that condensation can happen and it does have an effect on the DC board.

Abu Garcia Revo SX 3
By Philemon Foo
Lighter Yet Powerful
The new Abu Garcia Revo SX is lighter with a 2oz. reduction to
its weight and comes in a lower profile as compared to previous
generation Revos. This gives us a better grip and feel while fishing with it and the lighter weight simply means less tiring arms if
one is supersensitive towards weight.
The Abu Garcia Revo reels are built tough but tough is never
enough. Anglers always want more; more features, weight reduction,
and good looks. To constantly meet with the demands of anglers the
engineering team too has to be tough.
19
The D2 (generation 2 Duragear system) gear system gives better this Revo SX reel better cranking power thus shifting the battle
with the brutes over to the angler’s side. The D2 gears are bigger
and tougher yet somehow they managed to reduce the weight of
the Revo SX. That brings us now to the side plates where some
of the weight reduction took place, by using C6 carbon material.
Yes, new looks, lower profile, more powerful gear, etc. are all
good features and function but how will it fair on the water.
20
Magnetic Brakes Control Dial
Revo S Vs. Red Tails
Casting Test
Before heading to water, I did a few casts on land and it cast well.
The Magtrax Brake System (magnetic brakes) worked its magic
and casting was easy and smooth (note: the reel is relatively new
at time of test). The feel of the spool spinning felt silk like and it was
a joy to cast. The new Revo S also felt great in my hands being
lower in profile and that somehow created a feel of having better
confidence in the cast.
21
I think I am visiting the Exotic Pond a little too often. The reason is
because the fishes there have always been obliging in helping me
test equipment. Anyway, I walked to my favourite hut and use bait
(not casting any lures) of which is effective at catching fish, and
cast out to where I normally cast.
Within 15 minutes I was onto a fish. The drag performed well and
for this test I actually went “brute vs. brute” as I am familiar with
the capabilities of the Revo reels, and as expected the drag held
on. With the drag almost maxed up (max drag is about 10kg, I
should be at about 9 kg), I could hear the 20lb line crying for help
with the tension placed on it and the rod, while the muscles in my
right forearm began to ache. The fish still took out line but the fight
was rather short lived and up came a lively red tail catfish.
22
So What Do I Think
Looks wise I would say that the new Abu Garcia Revo SX doesn’t
stand out. It looks like many other reels available in the market
with the exception of having a lower profile and bigger gear box.
However, looks alone doesn’t help catch fish. Looks catch anglers and what is more important is the performance.
Performance is where the new Revo SX stands out. Being lower
in profile I feel that I have better control over the reel of which
provides for better confidence during the cast and while playing the fish. On top of that the, powerful drag has stopping
power and will be a great aid when playing the brutes (I
took it to Belum as well hoping to play a sizable toman
but that didn’t happen).
I normally do not fish that way but I
thought, “What the heck, let’s just do it,”
and there you have it, the signature of
Revo reels, being tough and with powerful
drag, shining forth its glory. Even the guy
that helped me net the fish commended
on the strength of the reel.
23
When it comes to casting I would say that it cast well, not
exceptional but well. The magnetic brakes worked well and
distance wise, good. The silky like smoothness of the spool
as it rotates during the cast is something else altogether and
for that it gains extra points.

Thomas Stroker Rods
Building And Customizing Rods To Suit The Angler
Most golfers know that to be good in their game they need the
best clubs, and the best clubs cannot be bought off the shelves.
Yes you can pay loads of money for good branded clubs but these
clubs may not suit you best. They are made for golfers in general.
The best clubs are custom made for a particular golfer.
When it comes to fishing, one of the oldest and most experience
custom rod builders is Thomas Lee the founder and owner of
Thomas Stroker Rods. Thomas Lee has vast experience in fishing
spending many years battling brutes out at sea. With such experience he knows that the best rod an angler could use is a rod made
especially for him and his preferred type of fishing.

the Thomas Stroker rod.

30
Fuji Components are some of the best components made for
fishing. Every angler knows that Fuji makes the best components
in fishing and when you are on to a brute you want to ensure that
the components on your rod is up to the fight as well as you are.
Why risk losing your trophy fish because of component failure?
ALPS Reel Seats. A reel seat is not just something a reel sits on.
A reel seat also adds on to the cosmetics of the rod. ALPS don’t
just make quality reel seats. They make quality reel seats that
look good of which brings up the value of your fishing rod. Just
like a masterpiece of art being perfect in every way, so should
your fishing rod be; perfect completely.
Building Rods Since 1976
Thomas Stroker has been building quality rods since 1976. Every angler wants a rod that is tough, light, slim, and with good
designs. Thomas Stroker rods are built based on these principles
using high quality material blended in with good design.
Some of the materials used are:
Carbon Composite Blanks ensure that the angler benefits from
a good strong backbone and to bring the weight of the rods down.
A lighter rod means conservation of energy. Conservation of energy means more energy to fight the fish. Have more energy means
that you get to fish longer. Why fight the weight of the rod when
you should be fighting your trophy fish?
31
32
Leave Nothing To Chance
When it comes to fishing rods, Thomas Stroker leaves nothing to
chance. Every detail counts. Rod building is not just building a rod
that catches fish. Rod building is creating a masterpiece that is
custom made just for you and your type of fishing.
Classification Of Thomas Stroker Rods:
A] ULTRA LIGHT [4-8LB]
B] PE 1 LIGHT [8-12LB]

High quality gimbals. When you are fighting a brute out at sea,
everything counts. Thomas Stroker rods are built using high quality gimbals to ensure that nothing gives way including what’s supporting your rod in your fighting belt.
High Quality EVA grip. Grip is very important. Having a loose
grip actually forces you to use more energy and strength while
you fight the fish. Thomas Stroker rods are built high quality EVA

SKILL ENHANCERS
Baitcasting Basics Part III
By Philemon Foo
In parts I and II we looked at the
things needed for baitcasting, setting up your baitcasting reel, how to
cast a baitcasting reel, and we also
touched a little bit on brakes.
Before we go into the advanced
baitcasting techniques, it is important for you to be able to control
your baitcasting reel well and I cannot emphasize this point enough.
There are a few things you can do
and with do I really mean practise.
Practise makes perfect if not better.
Having good control over your reel is
extremely crucial. The best way to do
so is to train your thumb and thus build
muscle memory. The only way to do it is
to keep practising.
37
38
Practice Feathering The
Spool
It is important to be able to feather
the spool. Feathering the spool
simply means to have your thumb
lightly on the spool as it rotates.
This helps you to control your cast
as well as the flight of your lure (to
a certain extent).
Practising spool feathering will
help you to build up motor or muscle memory so that spool control
becomes second nature and you
don’t have to think about it every
time you cast.
Feather the spool by placing your thumb lightly over the spool as the
sinker, lure, or casting plug (whatever you are using to practise with)
drops to the bottom. This picture show thumb position.
39
40
What you will have to do is to loosen
the spool control and allow the plug
to drop downwards freely.
Stop the spool with your thumb just
before the plug hits the ground. Now
reel it up and allow the plug to drop
again but from now on place your
thumb lightly on the spool as the
plug drops.
Feel the line move as the plug
drops. Always stop the spool before
the plug touches the ground. Keep
repeating this exercise.
Do this exercise as frequent as possible until it becomes second nature
and you can do it without thinking.
View from a different angle. A comfortable grip on your reel and
rod is very important.
41
42
Accuracy Casting
Practicing accuracy casting is actually an exercise that makes practising casting fun. Simply
casting can become boring but it is important
for you to keep practising. To add some fun
into your practise, place a target somewhere
and try to hit it.
You could use a bucket or a box and try your
best to cast into it. As you get better, increase
the distance between the target and you. You
can also decrease the size of your target; say
from a bucket to a bowl.
This exercise has two benefits. One is that you
get used to casting and casting will become
second nature. Two is that your accuracy improves and you will be able to control your cast
better.
Practice Practice Practice
When you are free, go to an empty field and
practice casting. Look for things to cast at like
a tin can, a box, a chair, etc. Keep practicing and soon you will be casting between tree
stumps, under roots, and into fish holes.
Till then, happy casting.
Palm view. There is no right and wrong but my most comfortable
grip is with the reel seat trigger resting inbetween my middle and
thrid finger. Test and find your prefered grip.

Knowledge Wise
The Fuss About Brakes Part I:
Centrifugal Brakes
By Philemon Foo
Brakes, the word that has many an an-
gler confused. What about non-anglers?
Last issue I wrote an article where I took
two of my friends who have never fished
before in their entire lives to Rompin to
fish the sailfish.
One of them did ask in a somewhat surprised manner, what the breaks were
for. “Is it used to stop the fish from swimming?”
There seems to be this confusion between drag and brakes. Before I move
on, allow me to explain generally what
they are.
The drag is used to add pressure to the
fish and yes, the phrase or question
“Is, is used to stop the fish (without the
words from swimming)” becomes a tiny
bit more relevant here. The objective of
adding pressure to the fish is to tire it
out.
Centrifugal brakes found in Abu Garcia C4
reels.
45
46
Brakes on the other hand actually help
you with spool control. It actually applies
pressure on the spool instead of the fish
using forces known to science and anglers as centrifugal forces and magnetic
forces. Oh yes, and then there is the DC
(Digital Control) Braking System by Shimano that uses a computer to control the
spool.
The three common braking systems
in baitcasting reels are the centrifugal
brakes, the magnetic brakes, and the
spool control (functions as one).
Centrifugal Brakes
The centrifugal braking system uses the
centrifugal forces to help you gain better
control of the spool during your cast. Students of science especially those specializing in physics will know what I am talking about and for the rest of us there is
always Wikipedia. Here is what Wikipedia
says the centrifugal force is.
Centrifugal Brakes of an old Ambassadeur Reel. Noticed that it has
four brake pins and blocks.
47
* Centrifugal force is the apparent outward force that draws a rotating body
away from the center of rotation. It is
caused by the inertia of the body as the
body’s path is continually redirected.
(source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_force)
48
To help you understand better what you can
do is to take a piece of rope and at one end
of it tie a piece of weight. Hold the other end
of the rope and start swinging the weight in
a circular motion. The faster you spin the
harder the force of the weight pushing outwards. This force is the centrifugal force.
Associating that to the centrifugal brakes of
a baitcasting reel, the faster the spool spins
the harder the brake pins push outwards of
which means the higher the centrifugal forces applied. It is this force that helps you to
control the spool.
The centrifugal braking systems comes in
different names and looks such as the Pitch
Centrifugal Brake System and the IVCB
Brake System used by Abu Garcia Revo
reels, SVS Braking System by Shimano, Flying Arm Braking System by Ryobi, and the
ACS Cast Control System used by Quantum.
Instead of ropes, imagine the blades of this helicopter. The faster the
blades turn the higher the forces pushing outwards.
49
50
Applied To Fishing
The centrifugal brakes help you control the spool
up to about 70% (average) of the cast. This means
that from the start of your cast to about 70% of it, the
centrifugal forces are in use and as the spool slows
down; the centrifugal forces become lighter till they
have no more effect on the spool.
Setting The Centrifugal Brakes
Some reels require you to remove the side plate of
your reel (NOT the one where the handle is) and
some reels do not, such as the Abu Garcia Revo
MGX.
Most reels will have a centrifugal brake system that
looks like a star. Each point (or arm) of the star contains a brake block. Pushing these blocks outward
engages them. Pushing the blocks inwards disengages them. The more blocks engaged the higher
the centrifugal forces.
IVCB-4 a new technology centrifugal braking system that is more convenient to use where you do not have to remove the side plate to adjust your brakes. A similar system is the Ryobi Flying Arm.

Let us go back to the illustration earlier with a rope and a weight. Imagine adding another rope and weight. Now spinning two ropes and
weights is a circular motion adds more centrifugal forces to your arms
and you may feel the need to use more effort. The more ropes and
weights added, the more pressure you will feel. Now apply that to the
brakes in your reel.
The Abu Garcia Revo MGX uses a centrifugal braking system as well
called the IVCB-IV Braking System. IVCB is short for “Infinitely Variable
Centrifugal Brake” of which is a new type of centrifugal brake system.
Centrifugal force setting is done by simply turning the dial that is located
on the side plate.
Centrifugal drag found in the Quantum EXo Reels. Looks different from
conventional centrifugal braking systems but the principles are the sames.
Instead of using the “star type” centrifugal brake, the IVCB-IV uses
“swing” arms (located on the spool) that rub against a metal plate (located on the side plate) as the spool spins. The faster the rotation of
the spool, the higher the centrifugal forces applied and thus more friction on the metal plate. By turning the dial you are actually moving the
metal plate towards or away from the swing arms.
* Ryobi’s Flying Arm Braking System is similar to the IVCB-IV.
We will discuss the magnetic braking system in the January 2013 issue. I hope the information given here will be of help to your fishing and
decision making for future reel purchases. Till then, Happy Fishing.

Angler ’s Heavens
Nipah Guesthouse, Pangkor
By Philemon Foo
This place is indeed your “a home away from
home.”
55
56
I love hotels and resorts and I love
them a lot. Being an ex-hotelier I always walk into a hotel or a resort with
certain standards in my mind and that
is the mind that I have lesser control
over of which is the subconscious
mind.
I have been so used to inspecting
hotels and resorts that it became second nature to me. I start taking mental
notes the minute I lay eyes on one of
these properties. I mentally rate how
all the departments perform. I mentally rate how the staffs perform. I
mentally rate the property itself like
damages, half hearted repair works,
etc., etc. Even the room that I am assigned to automatically gets checked
and rated.
I know I am no more in the hospitality industry but my mind just does it.
It is something I have been doing for
years and has become somewhat a
curse.
Even hornbills call this place home. They visit everyday.
57
58
One thing good about this subconscious mental programmed mind
of mine is that when a hotel or resort stands out, I know it almost instantly and I get all excited about it.
I truly get to enjoy the place and get
soaked in its being. I feel that magical aura that makes you want to stay
longer.
Not many hotels and resorts have
this effect on me. Well, one has and
I am happy to have found it and now
share this good news with all of you.
Finding Nipah
Being to a certain extent a techie, I
went on the net searching for places to stay on Pangkor Island, and
all the resorts that popped up on
Google had quite a few nasty feedbacks on Tripadvisor.
This was our “home away from home” for the three lovely days we spent at
the Nipah Guesthouse. This is the Deluxed Chalet.
59
The complains were either of the
resort itself or someone managing
the resort. Then I decided to remove
the word resort and just searched
for “where to stay.” Nipah Guesthouse popped up, and the more I
researched the more I wanted to
experience it.
60
Nipah Guesthouse
From a hotel room in Lumut I called
and smsed Anuar who owns and
runs the guesthouse with his wife
Alicia together with a small team
of staffs. Within a few minutes I received what I would call an honest
email stating essential information
including information that may put
people off like 10 minutes walk to
experience nature and 5 minutes
walk to the beach. I mean most
people would want to be right at the
beach. Well, I did.
Anyhow, I confirmed my visit and
the very next day we were there.
The minute I stepped into the Nipah
Guesthouse I knew something was
different. The first thing to hit me
was that there is no counter for
checking in or out.
The inside of our room, Simple and cozy with a touch of European B&B (Bed
and Breakfast).
61
62
We were greeted by Anuar and Alicia who
gave us a warm welcome to their guesthouse. We were offered a seat at a table at
the dining and lepaking (hangout) area of
which I have since termed “The Hangout.”
In less than five minutes we were looking at
cottages. In less than 10 minutes we were in
our room taking in the atmosphere. All done
with a smile and you get that feeling that
you are genuinely welcomed.
This is the F&B outlet of which I would say isn’t the appropriate term for it.
A more appropriate term would be “The Hangout.” Guests gather here and
have a good time.
64
Cottages And Rooms
The cottages and rooms at the Nipah Guesthouse
are European themed. They look unique outside
and inside they are cozy with a warmth atmosphere.
There are three types of cottages and rooms available at the Nipah Guesthouse.
Guesthouse
The largest cottage is a double storey cottage called
the Guesthouse. Ground floor is the living room
where family members can relax on sofas and watch
some TV or just spend some time together. Upstairs
is where the tired body goes to recharge. There is
only one Guesthouse available for now.
The biggest cottage available is the Guesthouse, a
double story European type cottage.
65
66
Deluxe Chalet
This is where my family and I called home for three
days. It comes with a Queen size (or is it double) bed
and a single bed. Just nice for my family.
A-Frame Cottage
These are my favourites. I have a little regret now not
staying in one of these cottages. The A-Frame Cottage has a double bed below and a stairs leading
up to a “landing” where another mattress could be
placed. It is the coolest looking cottage around. I will
build one of these when I get a house with a garden.
Super nice.
All three of them come with built-in bathrooms + toilets, air-conditioning, television, and are well decorated (not over decorated). The prices are really reasonable of which also includes a DIY breakfast where
ingredients are prepared and you cook your own style
to your own liking, 24 hours coffee and tea for free,
free wifi, and the occasion company of hornbills (daily).
What’s more is that Anuar and Alicia (not forgetting
baby Aila, hope I got her name right) are very friendly
hosts. Reminds me a lot of the B&Bs in New Zealand.
They are more than happy to spend time with you
answering questions and just having some chit-chat
over tea or coffee.
The A Frame Cottage, my favourite.
67
68
Home Away From Home
The Nipah Guesthouse is not a large resort. It is built small and
comfy. Anuar says that he rather have lesser rooms so that he can
spend more time with his guests.
I truly agree. When Resorts get big, they lose that human touch.
One gets the feeling that the staffs who are serving you just wants
to get the job done and send you on your way. Few are genuinely
interested in your family and you having a good holiday.
In total there are four A-Frame Cottages, One Double Storey
Guesthouse, and two Deluxe Chalets. If you are making your way
to Pangkor Island with your family, and what you want is a “home
away from home” I highly recommend the Nipah Guesthouse. You
can call Anuar or Alicia to make your booking at +6017 506 9259
or email them at [email protected].

The A Frame Cottage has an

Family Time
There are a number of things that the family
can enjoy in Pangkor Island. There are lots
of water sports activities at the beaches in
Teluk Nipah (where the Nipah Guesthouse
is located) or you could go to Pasir Bogak
or Teluk Dalam. You can book trips like Island hopping, fishing, snorkelling, etc. Other
activities are banana boat rides, inflatable
water castle for kids (out at sea), etc.
I prefer quite places and I don’t like crowds,
so I took my wife and daughter to Teluk
Ketapang where the beach is left empty for
some reason, with a few people popping by
taking a walk and going off. One reason I
would think is because of the lack of parking spaces. Who knows.
Teluk Ketapang has one of the nicest
beaches on the island (accessible beach).
The sand unfortunately is not soft and powdery but it is cleaner than other beaches.
The sea is also clear and I was having a
blast playing with the anchovies that swam
near the beach. Whilst playing with the anchovies I saw a fish leap out of the water a
mere ten feet (estimated) away from me.
Teluk Ketapang, my favourite beach on Pangkor Island.
71
72
Fishing
For us anglers we could rent a boat and go
fishing out at sea, or we can fish from the
beach. I didn’t have much time and since this
section is about holidaying and stealing time
to fish, I fished (actually my daughter fished)
at the Jetty in Teluk ketapang. There we
caught groupers (average about 300g ) and
some fusiliers.
I saw larger fishes swimming a mere five feet
away from the beach but we were out of bait
having lost the last sinker to a fish, probably a
grouper that took us into the pillars.
Grouper caught off the
Teluk Ketapang Jetty.
The white blob in the pic is actually a jellyfish. On its left and right are
hundreds of anchovies swimming.
73
74
In total we spent less than an hour
fishing but it was fun. I have been
trying to get my daughter to take up
fishing and she never wanted too.
On this trip she did and she caught
her first fish. Now she wants her own
fishing tackle set of which make me
happy.
A family that fishes together stays
together.
Tummy Fillers
On the Teluk Nipah Beach, towards
the end of the beach, Opposite the
Anjungan Beach Resort are a few
Ikan Bakar (BBQ Fish) stalls. They
serve very good fish.
I had the best ikan tiga rasa (three
taste style of cooking, beats me why
it is called that way).The fish we had
was a daun baru (Spotted sicklefish)
and it tasted excellent.
Fishing can be done from the beach. There are fishes swimming within a zone probably 25 to 30 feet from where I am
standing.
75
76
My Thoughts
For a place to stay and call home for a few days, the Nipah
Guesthouse is a must. I will definitely return for a few more
days than the 3 days spent on this trip. Make an early booking
before your trip as they have got few rooms and they get a lot
of guest from Malaysia as well as other countries.
Bring along a good camera to take photos. Hornbills fly into
and hangout at the dining area every day. Your kids will love
you just for allowing them the privilage to experience this. They
make great photo moments. The beaches and fishes swimming around make great photos too.
Teluk Ketapang is highly recommended. Spend time there together with the anchovies (they swim in and they swim out),
crabs, etc. A real fun place for the family but always be extra
careful when at the beach.
Do not go during the rainy season. The water loses its clarity
and makes it look like any other west coast, mainland beaches
of which are mostly unclear.
Rent a car to move about the island. Negotiate for a good
price. Anyway, it is worth the money. Taxis are not really all that
cheap either. Furthermore you may need booth space to carry
your luggage and all the fish, cuttlefish, and seafood produce
that you have bought.
Have fun.
Fancy having a meal with hornbills at your table? Come to The
Nipah Guesthouse and experience something extraordinary.

Fishy Tales
Belum, The Royal Happy Hunting
Grounds
By Philemon Foo
Sometime in the month of October 2012, three
friends, two from Hong Kong, and one from America visited us with the objective of doing some
fishing in our waters. They are Colin, Joseph
(Joe), and Philip. We (Ho and I) took them to the
Royal Belum Lake to hunt down the tomans (giant
snakehead) and sebaraus (Hampala Barb).
For me, it was an opportunity to test out some
reels as well as to get away from the hectic city
life.
Belum & Temengor
Belum and Temengor is the largest and oldest
rainforest in Peninsular Malaysia. It is believed to
be about 130 million years old, of which in it lays
Lake Temengor covering some 15,200 Hectares.
Lake Temengor has hundreds of islands making it
a fantastic place for adventurist and anglers.
The Belum and Temengor forest is also rich with
wildlife the likes of tigers, elephants, rhinos, panthers, snakes, monkeys, deer, bears, birds, fishes,
etc. The Belum part of the forest has been gazetted as a forest reserve and thus called the Royal
Belum. One need to have a permit to enter Belum
and that applies to anglers and nature lovers.
83
84
Fishing Royal Belum
Arrangements were made and on an early
Saturday morning two boats were waiting
at the jetty to ferry us into the Royal Belum
area of Lake Temengor. Playing hosts to our
friends we divided into two groups. Joe and
I were in a boat while Ho, Colin, and Philip
were in the other boat. We sort of calculated
the weight distribution and did the split accordingly.
We travelled on water for about half an
hour before arriving at our first fishing spot.
Our boatman turned off the outboard and
we slowly paddled towards toman rises
amongst the eerie misty waters with tree
stumps jutting out.
Joe the hunter. Loves nature and had one objective in mind. To land a
sebarau and a toman.
85
86
I was pretty confident that we will be
catching a toman or two as I brought
with me all my favourite toman lures.
The game plan was simple.
When there are rises one of us would
cast our top water lures while the other
would cast out a deep diver. If the place
is quite one would do popping with poppers while the other go deep with deep
divers. My favourite colours were there
and they are fire tiger, red heads, natural
colored lures (sebarau, tilapia, etc.), etc.
I also brought along soft baits of which
have never failed me before. My number one favourite soft bait unfortunately
cannot be bought anymore and that one
type of bait landed lots of tomans.
That bait is the Berkley Gulp! Saltwater
swimming pogy, 8”, fire tiger colored...
“Hint”... Pure Fishing Malaysia please
bring in some for the market.
Toman palyground.
87
88
Lost And Out Of Touch
Having not fished in Belum for at least two years I felt lost and quite
helpless. We were casting out lures with colours that have proven
time and again to catch tomans but we were not getting hits. Well,
maybe it is that time of the season where they are turning blue and
not keen on taking lures or attacking an intruder. Probably all they
had in mind was mating.
We continued casting the entire morning till noon, even colours that
traditionally would not have been used for tomans had a chance to
play in the water. Spoon such as the Abu Island was used as well
without luck. Every lure hard and soft made it to the water on our first
day of fishing without luck. The only ones landed were juvenile tomans of which would readily take anything.
This was one time I felt lost and out of touch but then again there are
times when the tomans are just not obliging even with the right water temperature and air pressure. There is nothing much we could do
about it.
Being unhappy over the first days results I was quite pressured to
get my friend hooked on to a fish. During dinner we discussed about
the day’s events and we found out that the other boat landed one toman and lost one. This means that they are hitting but we were doing
things wrong.
Joe’s first fish of the day, a juvenile giant snakehead.
89
90
That night we did some strategizing as we cannot do much with
the lures that we have. Perhaps we could change the target instead. Joe and Philip wanted to fly fish as well. So the plan was
to leave early and target the sebaraus first. As they sun climbed
higher we would go for tomans again. In the evening we would go
for sebaraus on fly.
Obliging Sebaraus
The next day was a lot more fun. I used my trusty Abu Island II
(original colour) spoon, while Joe used his gator or croc spoon (I
cannot remember), and we were on to fish. Joe caught his first
sebarau to which he aptly named Subarus. There were lots of sebaraus sizes ranging from 900g to the largest about 1.8kg. The
idea is to cast into structures and allow the spoon to drop all the
way to the bottom. Give it a jerk and reel in fast.
After a lot of hardwork, Joe finally caught a sebarau on fly.
91
92
As the sebaraus stopped biting we
were back to toman fishing. Again to
no avail. Joe caught a kilo plus toman,
and our boatman caught another kilo
plus toman, and that was it. We decided to return to our hotel for lunch and
fish again at three till sun down. That
proved to be an excellent idea.
At three we were out hunting again. Joe
took the opportunity to do some fly fishing and towards the evening he caught
his first sebarau on fly. Then came the
end of our fishing day.
Joe’s first ever sebarau caught on spoon
93
94
Post Mortem
Over dinner we found out that Colin, on the other boat,
landed a few tomans, and lost a few as well. Philip landed a toman and lost some as well. This means that the
tomans were indeed taking lures and something we were
doing wasn’t right.
The answer to that puzzle came in the form of colours.
We had in our tackle box the right type of lure, the right
sizes of lures, brand doesn’t count but yes we had good
brands of lures, but what we did not have is this one lure
that caught majority of the tomans (except for two), and
it was the Rapala Barra Magnum BMAG11, BRT-Brown
Tiger that Colin brought from Hong Kong.
It was a colour that I wouldn’t have chosen for toman
fishing. Even Colin admitted that he saw it lying around
and it had not been used and would probably never have
been used, and decided to bring it along just so that it be
used.
Colin the hero of the trip, caught and landed the most toman on his
modest lure.
95
96
Lesson Learnt
On this trip we concluded that perhaps it is time we
take another look at colours. Maybe we should include
lures with colours that we would never give a second
glance into our lure boxes. Perhaps the tomans or rather the fishes have recognised the lure colours that have
been used over and over again by so many anglers
that they have become cautious with such colours.
In short, I still believe in traditional lure colours which
have proven to catch fish over the years. However, it
may be time to include different colours that we would
not normally buy for times when the proven colored
lures fail to catch fish. At least we have some alternatives in our boxes of which may better our chance of
catching a fish during these difficult fishing days.
Toman caught on Berkley Sebarau colored lure called Frenzy.

Tips For Fishing In Belum
Rods:
Depending on how adventurous you are,
my general recommendation will be casting or spinning rods with a minimum weight
8-20lb.
Lines:
20lb to 25lb mainline
20lb to 30lb leader
For the more adventurous you could go
lower to like 10lb to 15lb mainline and 15lb
to 20lb leader. Remember, that thinner lines
create lesser noise and thus registers more
bites.
Philip with another toman caught on the Rapala lure.
99
100
Reels:
3000 to 4000 size spinning reels will be enough
depending on how much line your reel can hold.
100 meters of line is enough.
For baitcasting reels anything goes as long as you
can hold about 100 meters of line and that you
have sufficient drag power.
Lures
Soft plastics, spoons, hard lures, propeller lures,
and poppers will come in handy. Colours again
bring your favourites but do remember to bring
some that looks odd. Abu Island spoons are great
for sebaraus.
Bring along a lure retriever as the opportunity to
get your lure snagged at the bottom to some tree
stump is guaranteed. Generally the boatman can
and will help you to retrieve your snagged lure but
in case it is snagged too deep, your lure retriever
will come in handy.
Note: These tips are general tips and not a rule of
thumb. You can use your own proven methods as
well as experiment and try out new methods.

Fishy Tales
Rompin, Not Just About Sails
By Philemon Foo
Morning at the jetty.
103
104
Every time we hear the word called Rompin, one of
the first fish species that pops up in our minds would
probably be the sailfish. There is good reason for
this too. Rompin is known as the sailfish capital of
Malaysia. If sailfish were not available there, Rompin
would probably not be known to many and that includes Malaysians.
I will leave Rompin Sailfish fishing for future issues.
In this issue I will talk about a lesser known predator
that visited us and gave us a good number of runs.
The Cobias Of Rompin
Cobias (Rachycentron canadum) or what is locally
called “haruan tasik” which is odd because haruan
tasik really means “lake snakehead” when translated
directly, do thrive in our waters (seas). They are one
of the “bait stealers” when one is targeting the sailfish. Anyhow, they are always welcome as they are
indeed hard fighters.
Back in the month of September we took some
friends from Vietnam to Rompin to do some fishing.
Most of them have never fished at sea as it is very
expensive to do so in Vietnam and there are only
three boats that take wealthy Vietnamese anglers
out to sea. This trip happens to be their company trip
as well.
The sailfish of Rompin gets a lot of credit for bringing visitors and
anglers the world over.
105
106
Needless to say that the main targeted
fish on our trip is the sailfish. On our
way to the fishing grounds we stopped
at a few places to fish for baitfish that
will be used as live bait. When we had
enough we shot straight for our fishing
playground.
Using kembong (a species of mackerel) and selar kuning (yellow tail scad)
as live baits, we would drift them out.
If wasn’t long before one of the reels
started screaming and we were on to a
fish. With the battle on and one of our
Vietnamese friends taking on the fight,
I could tell that it wasn’t a sailfish at
the other end. He was playing a cobia
which is one heck of a fighter.
Anyhow, after a considerable amount
of time, the cobia finally surrendered
and was brought on board the boat for
a round of photos before being released
to give another angler a run for his or
her money.
Cobias, the bait stealers of Rompin, will give you a good workout.
107
108
Curiosity Gets You On A Boat
Cobias swim together in packs and most
of the time they follow larger fishes around
looking for food. In the island of Langkawi
they are known to follow “whale sharks”
around. Every now and then I used to get
calls from my staffs that whale sharks are
spotted with groups of cobias following and
if time permitted, we would go do some
fishing.
Cobias are curious fishes as well. They
would follow their “hooked buddy” all the
way to the boat as if to give him support,
and we would normally cast another live
bait out and standby for another fight. Most
of the time another one would hit the bait
and the fun continues.
Even the “bait stealer” satisfies the angler as is allowed to be shot by
camera.
109
110
Work Those Muscles
Being tough fighters, cobias will give your muscles a
good workout. You could see the agony on the faces
of those given the opportunity to fight the cobias. “Very
strong, very strong” and “tired, very tired” was what some
of our friends said while they were engaged in battle.
However, they will not give up the fight.
After the battle and after the pictures were taken, they
would show their swollen biceps and share how strong
the fish was. I don’t understand the Vietnamese language
but I can tell that the story is a good one as they were
eager to go through the same torture.
Broken Rods And Happy Faces
In the two days of fishing we landed a good number of
cobias and we lost some too. We also saw the demise
of a rod and a reel of which perished in action and that
happens when brutes go at it head on. I wouldn’t recommend doing so but hey, when friends are happy, I am
happy too.
Tips And Information
Fishing in Rompin is not cheap but is indeed very satisfying. There are more than just sailfish and cobias there.
There are also mackerels, trevallies (various species),
bottom fishes (different fishing grounds), etc. depending
on season and currents.
111
I have been missing the gym but the cobias would make great
workout partners anytime.
112
Fishing Tackle
Rods: Generally boat rods (for spinning reels or multiplier reels) with
weight of at least 15-30lb. You can use jigging rods as well of at least
PE3-5.
Reels: Spinning or multiplier reels that can hold in excess of 250
meters of 30lb main lines.
Main Lines: 30lb braided or monofilament. Braided is recommended
as it has very little stretch of which is crucial to set the hook.
Leader lines: 40lb to 60lb fluorocarbon is recommended as fluorocarbon lines are less visible in water. One reason for such heavy
leader lines is that your bait could be taken by a number of fishes
such as the todak (long tom) , sailfish, mackerel , as well as cobias.
There are sharks there too.
Hooks: Circle hooks are highly recommended. Sizes of hooks to
bring along would be from sizes 5 to 7. On our trip we brought only
sizes 5 and 6 and lost a lot of fish on the first day. On the second
day we used mainly size 7 and we did not lose any fish. The fishes
were bigger this year.
113
Live bait well. Some of the best baits are found in here minus the crabs.
114
Other Items To Bring:
a.Bring along a few rolls of extra leaders and main lines just in
case you run out of lines.
b.Apollo rigs along; size 4 or smaller for catching baitfish.
c.Squid jigs just in case you want to do some squid fishing.
d.Sinkers of various sizes depending on currents.
e.Hook remover.
f. Line cutter.
g.Polarized sunglasses.
h.Camera for photo shooting.
Note 1: The recommendations here are made for general anglers.
Depending on how adventurous you are and your skill level, you
can bring lighter equipment or equipment that you are comfortable
with.
Note 2: Remember to practise bag limits for all other fish species
except for sailfish of which must be released.
Two fishes that fed 23 people.

A Knot A Month
Sponsored by Penn Fishing
Tying good knots is one of the most important things that any angler must learn. Certain knots should not be used on braided lines
as braided lines are known to cut or damage themselves. Certain
types of fishing requires thicker lines and yet smaller knots. There
are knots for connecting lines to lines. There are knots for connecting lines to hooks. There are knots connecting lines to spool.
There are knots everywhere in fishing.
While there are many knots that you could use, you will probably
stick to your favourites. Anyway, it is good to learn all of them. For
this issue we will show you one of the simpler but effective knots,
the Palomar Knot.
The Palomar Knot
An Initiative By Penn
Video Available
Only On HD Version Of The Asian Angler
To see video please go to
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTn00grf8Ig
The Palomar is a very simple and strong fishing knot for tying a
line to a hook as long as it is tied properly. This is an exceptional
knot for attaching braided line. It is important to never cross the
lines over each other that run through the hook eye because on
monofilament and fluorocarbon lines the top line will press down
on the bottom line causing the knot break more easily. The Palomar is more forgiving on braided fishing lines.
Note: Always moisten your line with saliva or water before pulling
tight. This is especially important on fluorocarbon lines that are
easily damaged by heat from friction.

Fish iReports
By Mark Lee
This month we played with an app called the Fish ireports by FullScope IT, Inc. Fish iReports is basically an app that allows you to
record and share fishing information with your buddies.
It is also linked to Facebook and twitter where you can automatically
upload your catch.
This shows what’s nearby. There
are not many Malaysian users
using the app thus not many
markers.
App Name : Fish iReports
Developer : FullScope IT, Inc
What Is It? : A must have app for
every fisherman / angler. It keeps
you up to date with what is biting
and much more valuable information to make your day a success
on the water. Facebook and Twitter integration is supported here to
show off your ‘catches’.
121
What Fish iReports does is to map out fishing areas near you wherever you may be. It is somewhat to fishing like what Waze is to driving. It is an interesting concept that has yet to catch on in Malaysia.
I am not sure if it will catch on in Malaysia as we tend to be secretive
and for good reasons. Anyhow, there are benefits to using Fish ireports and I would say that the best benefit would be to know where to
go fishing at in areas you are not familiar with.

Featuring
Abu Garcia Rocket Popper
Berkley Frenzy
Noise attracts when it comes to surface fishing for predators - and
the new Rocket Poppers from Abu Garcia are certainly designed
to cause a noisy commotion as the angler works them back, anticipating a spectacular smash take at any second.The Rocket Popper is very effective in fresh and salt water. You can simply pop it
or you can have a terrible “ walking the dog” action.
Frenzy Lures are the result of years of research into what actually
triggers a fish to strike. We have analysed the actions of the most
effective hardbaits to create the best looking, best performing
family of crankbaits ever produced. We know what triggers fish to
strike more often. Our unique, lifelike patterns and highly reflective
holographic finishes are designed to trigger strikes in otherwise
inactive fish. There is a Frenzy lure for all types of fishing.
