Welcome to The Angler Issue 80. In this issue we test the fabulous Berkley PowerBait Swim Shad, Berkley Fireline Ultra 8 Carrier lines, Abu Garcia SeaCaster II Ultra Light Finesse, and more. We also take a look at fishing in Kiulu, Sabah. We also look at pond fishing of which can be tough; and what to do when the fishing gets tough. There are plenty more in this issue.
Berkley Fireline Ultra 8 Carrier uses 8 carriers (thin or small diameter lines) to make one tough and strong line that is able to handle abrasion well.
Abu Garcia SeaCaster II Finesse fishing rods are quality rods made for fun Ultra Light tackle fishing. We tortured them and found them to be very capable.
The Berkley PowerBait Swim Shad is one very effective soft plastic bait. We caught lots of fishes on them such as groupers, golden snappers, and mangrove jacks.
The Penn Passion spinning reel takes on the hard fighting groupers and golden snappers during our field test. The Penn Passion certainly performed well.
Pond fishing with lures can get tough. When that happens it is a good idea to change your game. One of the things that can be done is to change your lures.
