The Asian Angler January 2015 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English | Page 14

My fellow anglers and friends, Happy New Year 2015! I wish all of you a fabulous 2015 with more success, loads of happiness, plenty of time to go fishing, lots of luck with landing your dream catch, and may your fishing tackle meet lots of fish. In 2015 there are more fishing products being launched and being the first month of the year we are seeing some interesting launches with new products coming onto our shores such as new soft baits from ZMAN, new spoons, new spinners, new tackle box by MGFA (Rod Ford), new rods, new reels, and lots more to play with. Another interesting brand of reels that I cannot wait to go out and play with is the Accurate Boss Extreme. New fishing tackle distributor, OAG Worldwide Sdn. Bhd. has recently launched the Accurate reels and they look sweet. In this issue we ran a test on hybrid bearings to see if they are really so much better than the original bearings that come with most mid to high-end reels. I find this test quite interesting since these bearings cost considerably more than the originals. Well, There are lots of new launches for you to checkout inside. Thank you for your support and happy reading. Cheers, Phil Editor In Chief
