The old vintage Abu Ambassadeur 5000A




In the 1950s, The Swedish Abu Garcia fishing reel was introduced to the market to meet the angler's needs. Ttill now the company is still producing many good and nice reel for the anglers from all walks of life. I myself is a Abu Garcia fans and have collected a few of the Abu Garcia reels as well. Among all my Abu Garia reel collection, this Abu Garcia Ambassadeur 5000A is my favourite reel which i have collected since young. It is made in the 1970s and is the oldest Abu Garcia Ambassadeur i had in my collection. Although it is nearly 40 years of age, the reel doesn't show its age at all. It still reel in smoothly and precisely which shows that Abu Garcia is serious in making their fishing equipment since early days. On the box itself, Abu proudly stated " The world finest casting reel, built to last a lifetime"..don't you agree with that?

My Daiwa Saltist 50H...found a new home



After my Daiwa Saltiga Z40 was sold off, this Daiwa Saltist 50H which i have kept for 1.5 years without using it finally found a new home as well. Even though the Saltist series is a grade lower than the Saltiga series, you can find many Fishing reel reviews which give a thumbs up to this korea made reel. All the best to my Saltist 50H and hope it can catch many big monster for his new owner.

Avet JX Factory Blem Model Single Speed 6.0:1



This Factory BLEM model, single speed 6.0:1 Avet fishing reel was bought last year when i intended to use it on my 2nd Sabah Fishing trip. However,  one week before the trip, it was cancelled due to poor catch rate and bad weather. Hence, this Avet JX reel was kept in my cabinet for one full year without even touching the sea water. The special thing about this reel is that Avet mixed and match their inventory and come out with this Factory BLEM model making it to be kind of special. I choose the Blue and Silver as i have a black Calstar Rod which match it nicely. Even though i have been clearing my used and unused Fishing gears, this will still be kept in my storeroom just in case or maybe.......Hmmmmm :)

The 2011 Fishing Banned

Yippee...My Wesley has arrived!!! Finally, after 10 months of waiting and "NO Fishing" ban on me...my son Wesley was born on the 23rd of Nov 2011. After married for almost 7 years, my first child finally arrived and without long, there will be a new member joining me for my fishing and i can be sure that Wesley will enjoy every moment doing fishing with me without learning it the hard way which i have been through. When the time is right, will definitely try out the Kayak-fishing with him on my Orange Pearl.

Although i have not been fishing for the past few months or maybe almost a year, i do surf the web to monitor the Catch Report of fellows anglers. Every time seeing the photos be it offshore or Kayak-fishing is kind of a pain for me as i wanna be in the action as well. However, the only thing I can really come close to fishing is by going to Fish Market or FishPort to get the freshest catch of the day. Below are some of the "Fishing" i have done not in the seaside but close to it.....its from the Sedili FishPort. Enjoy the Catch!!!  :)
