Want To Sell - Jigging & Popping Rod

I would like to sell my jigging & popping rod cause i want to upgrade for new rod for my coming trip in January.

1) Expert Graphite Custom Jigging Rod (overhead reel)





PE : 2-4
Length : 5'9" 1 Piece
Jig Max: 150 gram
Drag Max: 12kg
Full high grade Fuji SIC ring
Condition : 9/10 Selling
Price: RM600 (Nego)

My first custom rod. This rod i only use for 3 or 4 times. Last time i pair it with avet mxj 5:8 reel. I thought want to upgrade to 2 speed avet reel but i realize i'm more comfort jigging with spinning reel. So this rod i only keep it at my rod holder rack.

2) AjiKing Popping Rod





PE : 3-6
Length : 8'6" 2 piece butt joint
Lure Max : 150 gram
All original ring already change to Fuji SiC.
Condition : 9/10
Selling price RM450 (Nego)

Last time i used this rod at Kuala Rompin for sailfish popping. I want to sell this rod cause i already custom made a new popping rod. Normal market price for this rod is RM422.00 but original ring size is small & not suitable for casting popper. Sometimes mainline can be tangled at the ring. So i change all the original ring to Fuji SiC ring with bigger size. Ring only already cost RM180.00. Overoll performance of this rod is good & more smooth after change to bigger size Fuji Ring.

A One Year Annivesary & Fishing Trip

8th August is a one year anniversary me with my girlfriend... What should i do for this this event ?? Want to take her to movie ? take out for dinner ? Ahh.. it's all boring. Why shouldn't i take her for a fishing trip... Haha then she agreed. She want to know why i'm addicted to fishing.. So we make our journey to Kuala Rompin Pahang for another sailfish hunting trip. I want her to experience how to tackle a big fish. By the way, Thanks to Mahadzir aka Kikilala, Rambo & Reza for letting us joint this trip.. I really appreciate it :)

Breakfast time

Loading our equipment to our boat

On the way to get some livebaits

She enjoy the boat ride... Hope she didn't get seasick.

Early in the morning we didn't see any sailfish around so we decide to do some bottom fishing. She landed a nice size red snapper hehe..

Around 2pm we try again to hunt some sailfish. I start rig the livebait and drift it away hope there any sailfish will take it and give to my gf to handle it. Meanwhile i start popping in front of the boat. After few pops a good size of sailfish hits my popper.

After few minute another sailfish taken Rambo live baits. A double hook...

I manage land the sailfish first to give way to Rambo to have more space for fighting with the fish.

My 2nd Sailfish landed... But this time on popper !!

Rambo looks like he has been efected with parkinson syndrome hahaha...

A proud trophy for Rambo after 2 years keep on trying to get a sailfish :)

After that we keep on drifting the livebait, got a few strike but none really hook up very well... Then wind start getting strong and the rain start comming down... Boatman said we have to go back to jetty. Sorry my dear.. Look like i have to take her for another fishing trip. And she said it's ok... She will try until she land her own sailfish...

At the jetty

Dinner Time

Budi Popper. I use a kevlar and assist hook to rig.

My fishing buddies... Can't wait for our January Trip !
