Revo Inshore revival

Finally the Kick Lever replacement part arrived after more than a month of sourcing and waiting. This was my favourite baitcaster that i thought i would have to retire it when there were engaging/dis-engaging issues with no replacement parts to be found anywhere here. Really can't wait to hit the waters with it now, maybe my Shimano got to move aside for now haha.. look no further get in touch with the folks at mikesreelrepair for ur parts replacement order. Cheers




Stripped down



left worn out/ right new part

new lures arrived at the door..

Can't wait to lay my hands on these lures that i ordered from tackledirect. The Shimano Waxwing lures(surprising not available here in Singapore) are the second lot that i have ordered from online.Sad and shock to say i have lost all the 1st lot due to careless loading of the lures from casting and the used of light lines over a period of time. Expensive lesson learned indeed, this time i'll be careful though. Then there is the Bill Lewis Rat L trap which i will see how it will fair in this part of the world :)

Camo Grouper for the day

Pretty decent size hookup near the shore today...another ambusher that turn up from nowhere and slammed into my diving lure just 2 m from where i was standing.. sometimes its really pointless to cast far haha..

Jacky business on a hot mid day

This guy took my lure just 3m from where i was standing on the rocks as i was retreiving my last cast and was preparing to take a break under the scorching sun. It completely took me by surprise as my rod bended and when i look down in that split second i saw a dark shadow running away and immediately my line hit the snag. It stubbornly refused to budge and i have no choice but to wait for it to come out of its hiding but maintain tension on the line. After a couple of mins i felt movement on the line and i immediately pumped and the fish was easily subdued to surface. On close examination i realised there was fray on the flurocarbon leader line..well i could have lose it :)
