  1. What why i seek some advice or review if anyone use this rod can give me some advice.
  2. Hi all, Am looking at the 15ft model. Anyone can give advise on this rod? Thanks in advance.
  3. I visit the website, no information on the rods.
  4. Wow, they should not be shut down in the first place. Great news indeed.
  5. Great that when you can build your own rod, but components ship in to Brunei are not cheap and easily accessible. With my clumsy hand skill, I don't think I want to try (ship in all rod building items/components and later find out I am not up to the job ). Servicing reel, I still can manage with myself. But MAJOR service, I send my reels back to Perth one or twice a year (nice when have friends who work air crew n flew to Perth often lol.........)
  6. Good read for keeping fish to survive after release. But when go barbless, how to keep the bait intake to the hook? If sure will fell out easily when there is a strong current or wave.
  7. I still have my 12ft one piece surf rod (bought them in 2001 at Campbellsprotackles, Perth). I like them with the clear tip and wood butt section. Now use as back up rod, only things that need to repair is the guides, which I replace all with better Fuji guides when one of the old guide failed.
  8. Yes, I saw many anglers use them for surf in Perth as well. May be because of the "old school" style that why I never go and learn how to use one (which I feel very regret now). Yes, Alvey now are getting more and more expensive but the design and getting better comparing to 20 years ago especially the Elite and PowerCatch series.
  9. Hi Bear, I am in Brunei now, tackles here is not like in Australia where we can purchase almost anything we need for rod building. Also, tackle stores here is only small scale so most items need to order online. Even servicing reels I have to do my own (mostly learn from YouTube or Fishing Forum or Alan Hawk site).
  10. Unfortunately there is no rod builder here in my area, so I have to purchase the finish product. We also don't have much wild rain and storm here, so getting the chance of zap from lightning is very unlikely (finger cross)
  11. Finally got my hand on this surf rod. Quite impressive build with extra features.
  12. I should have learn to use Alvey when I was in Perth many years ago.
  13. Hi, Is there any different between the OLD Sensor Surf IZM comparing the the NEW Sensor Surf (2018)? The only thing i can see different is the shrink tube different pattern. Thanks.
  14. I only owned now one surf rod, a Banax Fujika KW BNS 4.75, cast well with heavy lead (120g-170g,depend on the current flow) but my reel is only a Banax Mighty Extreme 5000GT. Plan to upgrade to a Penn Slammer III, but still decide a low speed ratio 4.7:1 or high speed ratio 5.3:1. I browse many review than HS reel will get shorter life spam as constant reel in will wear out the gear more quickly that the LS reel? Also, reel in a huge fish with LS will take less effort as compare to HS reel?
  15. What reel u pair with you 16ft Daiwa Sensor? The new Sensor now cost so much @ $499.
  16. Yes, 16ft a bit too much for beach. I notice that in Australia Daiwa only have Sensor Surf and Sensor Tournament Surf, both Made in China but never come across the Phantom which made in Vietnam.
  17. Hi, I am new here. Are there anyone have any information on this Daiwa Phantom Surf Rod? So far I only manage to gather this information. Is this rod available in Australia? Thank you.
