Ichikawa K.O.S.H.
VS. The Gladiators
COASTAL GAME
15
Sharp Hooks
17
It did not take long before we were fighting fish
after fish. We did not lose fish as the hook eas-
ily penetrated the fishs lips easily. The Ichikawa
K.O.S.H also held on to the fish well.
19
The Ichikawa K.O.S.H is certainly one tough hook
and it did not open up and held on well even on
high pressure. We fought many hard fighting fish-
es and we did not lose any. It did really well.
21
Summary
The Ichikawa K.O.S.H hooks are superb lure
hooks. They are loght weight and they performed
really well. They are sharp; easily penetrating the
lips of fishes and they held on well without open-
ing or bending.

Cruzar

Series: Cruzar
Model: SCRZFGW 2502
Opponents: Barramundi
F or the brand conscious angler shopping at a bud-
get, big brands the likes of Shimano does have a
segment of rods placed in this category. The Shi-
mano Cruzar falls into this category at a price that
is hard for those at a budget to turn down. So how
would such a rod fair when it comes to fishing?

Rocket Line & Spool System
Line management is important in any reel something that
the Revo X is said to be good with. It comes with a Rocket
line management system that provides better control
on all types of lines, plus the Rocket spool lip design
offers better line out during the cast allowing for smooth-
er flow.
61
Tough Spool
The Revo X comes with a machined aluminium spool that
is tough and will not crush under pressure during the bat-
tles with a tough fighting fish. It is solid and rigid adding
confidence to the angler especially on higher pressure
fights.
63
Good Grip
Without a doubt, a good grip is certainly important and
the Revo X comes with a reasonably large PVC knob
with a rubbery feel that allows for a comfortable and good
grip allowing for minimal slippage.

Introducin The Asian Angler
II
I am Batman (deep husky voice)... and this
is my reel. I like all thing black but black alone
is boring. I like mine sporty too and the inven-
tion of carbon fibre has been a blessing. Not
only does carbon fibre look sporty and cool; it
also is light weight. That is why I chose this reel,
the Penn Conflict II.

K u a l a S e l a n g o r
W hen one mentions Kuala Selangor, the first
thing that comes to most anglers minds is sea fish-
ing. Fishing have overshadowed the history of Mel-
awati Hill, its monkeys, the fort, fireflies, etc. Prob-
ably because we always have fishing on our minds.
There are a good number of hotels there to choose
from and here is one of we recommend.
>The reception at the Sea Lion Hotel, Kuala Selangor.
99
Firefly Themed Rooms
One hotel that certainly stands out from the crowd of ho-
tels there is the Sea Lion Hotel. The Sea Lion Hotel is a
firefly themed boutique hotel that is tastefully decorated
with art pieces, nice furnishing, and little lights on the
ceiling of their rooms that mimic fireflies.
>The ceiling of the rooms look like fireflies. The colours of the
lights changes every few seconds.

Unique Pool
Yes, they have a pool that one can play in. Unlike the
usual dugout swimming pools, this pool is built on the
ground and doubles as a water feature. It has a tiled
seats for one to sit on and just hangout. Children will
certainly enjoy playing in the pool.
