The Asian Angler November 2014 Digital Issue - Malaysia - English | Page 14

My fellow anglers and friends,
We’ve just celebrated our 2nd anniversary and 2015 is so very
close. Time certainly flies and waits for no man. I was thinking
about this during one of our field testing trips. This is scary stuff
. Before you know it graphite fishing rods feel a tonne and we’re
talking fishing more instead of going fishing.
Anyway, back to this month’s issue. We tested a few rods and some of them really stood
out. We wanted to see how much the new Shakespeare Ugly Stik Elite can take and we
were surprised by its capabilities. Another rod is that we enjoyed messing with is the
Kewl Marushin. Dragon groupers? Bring them on.
There are also new product launches by Sea Tackle, Pure Fishing, and Brilliant Tackle.
Sea Tackle launched more lures recently while Pure Fishing launched its new Japanese
market Berkley soft baits as well as the Havoc (finally). Brilliant Tackle had a brilliant
idea and launched a shark rig. Having this framed in one’s fishing tackle room makes a
good enough statement.
There are a lot more interesting stuffs to checkout in this issue and I hope you enjoy
reading it and watching the videos.
Oh yes! Time really does fly by. Spend more time doing what you like... Pick up your
fishing rod and go catch that fish with a bunch of fishing buddies.
Thank you for your support and happy reading.
Cheers,
Phil
Editor In Chief
