Craft Bait GT2 Popper

Handmade popper from Japanese angler, Takeshi Taniguchi - Craft Bait. The strongest popper so far with 300lb built tough wire of what they called Power Heaton. Proven lure that will attract pelagic fish such as GT, Sailfish and many more. I grab 1 last Sept and found this popper swim nicely and easily attract GT even when the fish is not in mood. I had 2 strike, but damn I lost both. Bought another 1 last few weeks and here's the review.




Smart build

The EarthShaker - Saltwater Light Casting rod

Just bought this rod yesterday. The second of Golden Mean family added to the collection. Golden Mean EarthShaker. This rod use to cast saltwater lure & popper up to 90g. Been eyeing for this kind of rod since last May but this spec are very limited in the market and Golden Mean just come out with their lightest PE 2-3 mainly for casting purposes. I hope I’m able to test it out for coming Tukun Perak trip in January.

Morethan Branzino 3000

Got this reel few weeks back, after thinking on either getting this one or Certate Hyper Custom. The Morethan Branzino 3000 is a super soup-up Certate 3000. The body is from Certate, which gives the reel the maximum reliability. The gears are made from the metal same as those of Saltiga Z models. And the rotors are from Exist, the ultra light-weight reels. The combination of these functional components, the exotic carbon hybrid spools and the black anodized machine-cut handle make the Morethan Branzino the best inshore arsenal. Perfect for both Saltwater & Freshwater.


Superb Design
