Hi Abdul,
If Adam does not go for the reel, please le tme know as I am too interested in the same.
One question, does the rod reel holder differ from rod to rod. or else they are standrad in size. If standard in size then i would definitely be interested in the reel if Adam opts out.

Bro Adam,
Nothing like that.......havent been touching "her" for the past 45..........mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....................................... .......................minutes....he..he..he..
Sorry for not replying to your posting bro as I had no previous experience with any multiplier....prior to the Abu Garcia T-Pro 5600 C.....and currently lovin' it!
I refrain from making any comments on things which I haven't experienced myself. My "scientist" way of thinking says.... ONLY trust something which you had tested/proven/experienced yurself. This is the main reason why I had always been talking about the gears which either am curently having or had used.
As for the 2nd hand spinning reel, I got one which I want to sell off. Daiwa OpusBull 6500 with 02aluminium spools fully spooled with 300 yds of Spiderwire Braid 50lbs and Tuf Line XP braid 50lbs. Rated at max drag of 30lbs. Will be good for trolling, jigging and bottom fishing due to the low gear ratio of 4.6:1. Got it for about AED500 (reel + spools only) and looking forward to sell it off at AED350.
Cheers!
P/S Will only be back from Jeddah after 12May....on duty. |

As you know that I am a novice in fishing, however, if you have any reels up for sale do let me know.
I am looking for a reel that could be used for spinning & casting and I use a 20-25 lb line. I know nothing more then that.
thanks

IMHO,
Most of the reels here are overpriced, unless you managed to get about 15-20% discounts.
What size spinners are you after?
If you interested in Shimano or Daiwa spinners, will check them out for you in Brunei.....but will only be back there sometime in Jul or Aug.
Got the Sahara 4000 for Pranab for only AED300.

Amir, As for the shakephere's rod, just ensure that you get the "real stuff" as there are plenty of duplicates in the market. The only genuine ones I had seen so far are the ones available in Mr. Abas's shop Baraccuda, just at the abra (on Bani Yas road).

Amir,
My 2cents......
Spinning reels are much more versatile than a conventional one. Spinners can be used for casting as done in popping. Infact bigger sized conventional reels are almost uncastable due to "bird-nesting".
The main advantages of conventional reels are their huge line capacity and more stable/durable drag system.
A lot of anglers tend to prefer using conventional reels for jigging due to easier drag setting (through the use of star and/or "throttle" drag knobs and the huge line capacity.
Spinners do have more mechanicals which means greater probability of having things going wrong thus comparatively less robust IF NOT HANDLED PROPERLY. If dropped, spinners are likely to have the following damages; stem bent/breakage, bail arm/wire breakage, main shaft bent etc.
Conventional reels are however having inherent weakness due to the fact that the spool is within the frame which will usually collect (highly corrosive) sea water which might seep through the seals into the internal mechanisms whereas the spool on a spinner is outside the main gearing assembly.

Brother Abdul
Good to hear that you are giving the Stella twins some well deserved rest...please let them settle into life here in UAE especially with the heat which they'll not be used to coming from another conutry....lol...he he he
I was given some fishing gear from my bro back in UK last time i was there and i wanted to write down the details on here to get some feed back from you or the other forum members to see what they think, here goes:
1st rod: Abu Garcia "suveran" 2 piece boat rod
Reel: Abu Garcia "Ambassadeur BG 7000HS"
2nd rod: Shimano "Exage S.T.C 330H - 6 piece
Reel: Shakespear "Atlantis 2904-300"
I know that it's all about the fisherman and not the tackle that catches the fish but as i'm new to this type of fishing, would appreciate hearing back from you all as to what this gear is good for. Having never used multipliers before, anyone have any tips on how to use as they are quite scary looking, they would of course be willing to meet up at some point with the Stella twins to discuss there new found homes in UAE....lol...hehe he
Also, if anyone has a nice 2nd hand spinning reel they are looking to sell, i am interested in buying one as unfortunately the reel my dad bought for me does not fit any of these rods...the butt on the reels i have are to chunky and wide to slot into the reel holders??!!
Cheers all for your feed back.

Amir,
Likewise, it was also a great pleasure to have met you...in the flesh.
Adam,
Both Ms. Stellas were so tired of getting all the carressing thus were staying back at homes.
BTW, my Mrs. is reimbursing me for the amount I had paid for the Stella......as a gift from her....YAHOOOOOOOOOO!
Just how much luckier can I be???????
She (Ms. Stella) is now fully spooled with 86lbs Titanium braid from Rapala.....all set for Mussandam!

Went out boat fishing yesterday with Kim, Ashley, Jamil and Mohammed.
We started moving from the Diving Village @about 0630hrs. Did some trolling on the way without any result. Main format was bottoming and me playing around with my light casting tackle setup (pe2 rod, 30lbs braid, Abu Garcia Ambasaduer T-Pro 5600C casting reel)
Sea was a bit choppy and the tide was coming in with high tide at about 0930hrs.
Catches - Good size sheris, sultan ibrahim, hamours and a couple of baracudas and a queen fish. Overall not so good with total count of around 20-25.
Tried jigging but almost no result except for one hit which was a non hook-up.
True enough, as always advised by "Fishpals", playing with light setup is fun especially when you see the rod bending and the reel screeming upon hook-ups.
Cheers!
p/s no pics due not so exciting. |

hi Pranab...thanks for the ferrari reel bro and that mitchel rod you have is a frikkin boomerbus...that bugger has more muscle that Sly Stalone. The bloody tackel was kinda whistling away to about 100 meters with just 35 gms weight. didnt even have to really chuck. The rod seemed to do it all. Its the best I've handled so far for shore casting. I need to get hold of one for myself soon. Will call u bout it by monday. |

fISRT ... Sorry Kim..woulda loved to come. But I didnt log onto the forum for the last 4 days 'till now. Jeez. I'm sure you guys woulda had a REEL good time. Sat is a holiday, but eitherways, I was caught in the editing room coz we had an urgent job to go and I wouldnt have made it. I'm sure you guys had a nice time.
Adammmm Mate .... puddy tat puddy tat where have ya beeeeeeen? I've been to London to visit the qeen..puddy tat puddy tat what did you there? I caught a big TROUT and exchanged it for a hare!!
teeheehee. How are you buddy... keep in touch mate. Lifes too short and fish live even shorter (wink wink)
Amir...I was satisfied catching that queen fish at Jum..gave it to Aji to marinade along wid the sheri Abdul caught. Rest o the Fri was spent cookin the crabs I caught during the week. God..I'm up to my colon in crabs. If I dont eat another crab for a month i wouldnt mind.
Tomorrow I gona meet Abdul for the rod he bought me from Brunei and maybe I'll do a stint at the mak bridge day after. Got a nic Cat bout 2 weeks ago - bout 3 kilos. But its all in the timing.
Im not one o those high tech anglers who cathes 8 kilo barraks with 8 lbs line like one professor out here... but I do my bit to tap the fishing community and ensure they end up into my cooking pot before they die a natural death. HAHAHAAH.
Why dont we all knock out heads together and arrange a trip to Fuj for some GT? What say you guys? Any takers.
Syed Ijlal...how are you mate? hows the leg coming along. Even on crutches I believe you'd be a formidable threat to the biggest fish in town. Gimme a shout anytime.
Anyways ...like all good thing must come to an end...so must my tirade on this site.
Ciao and bye for niao...meao |

Dylan, Abdul, nice meeting you Abdul,Dylan. After you guys leaft we did manage small sherry's from Jumeira which were released.
However, in the evening me & Ali went to Makhtoum bridge. There again we managed small fishes, with the exception of one biggy (Naqroor) Ali caught.
Will try to post the picture in a day or two.

http://shopping.yahoo.com/p:Hookup%20Lures%2020001%20Barracuda%20Tube% 20Lure%20-%20Green:2002874874
Here's a tube for cudas. it's so simple that it can be made at home.
all you need is the following:
1- surgical tubbing ( u can chose ur color, best is pink).
2- steel cables
3- trible hooks
4- 1oz weight.
Look at the picture and assemble like. keep the lead at the end of the lure and fish it by casting and retrieving it fast ..ripping through the water. this lure will look like niddle fish trying to escape.
Good Luck.

Amir,
From past experiences, of all the lures which had given me the most number of hits from Baraccudas are the Yo-Zuri F crystal minnow deep divers size 11 either with greenish or bluish colour. These are however, the diving type which are usually used for trolling and open sea casting.
I can basically conclude that the most effective colours for the clear waters in these part of the world are greenish and bluish whereas in murky waters like in Brunei the stronger colours e.g red, orange, purple or any other bright colours will be more effective.

Kim,
As the saying goes "When we go down, we go down together!"...he..he..he.. We are both intoxicated by the beauty of these twin.
Sent him SMS, still yet to get a reply. Will try to call him and will advise you if the UNUSED aka "NEW IN BOX" 10000 Stella is still available.
Got someone who will be travelling back to Brunei in 2days time (01May) and coming back on
10May. If the ever so beautiful and seductive Stella is still available, will ask him to pick it up. BTW its about USD700max(depending on the prevailing rate of exchange).
Cheers!
Chua - any news from Mr Abbas for the best possible price for the 20000 Stella? |
