Fisherman Fishing Gloves for Ocean

I've got 2 pairs of these ridiculously high price glove. Anyway, i dedicated 1 is for popping and the other is for jigging. The popping version has softer texture grip compared with the jigging version. Even the inter-finger area is different.

Daiwa Saltiga Z6500H Dogfight

My ultimate popping reel. Got it as 2nd hand reel. Used once but never catch fish. Just like brand new. The ex-owner said " You're buying a 2nd hand virgin". The first thing i did was change the original drag with Smoooooth Carbontex drag, greased with Cal's Universal grease. Haven't thought what line goes in, most probably Varivas GT Avani PE6 80lb or PE7 90lb line. OR if i'm lucky, i'll get the new Varivas Avani GT SMP PE6 90lb line. And also planning to buy the custom spare spool. We'll see later.

Check out this thread on how to change the carbontex drag.

Sevenseas Hooker jigs

I really love these jigs. Proven to me to catch GT, grouper, tuna, golden snapper, etc.

Cuurently i've only got 7 in my collection, 4 220g original Hooker1, 3 220g Hooker Super Hologram, 1 220g Hooker1 Long and 1 250 Hooker 7 Anatahan.

Note the hologram sticker. Thorn sticker can be replaced with the original parts from Sevenseas.

Compared to the Hooker 1 220g, the Hooker 7 250g Sinks approximately 1.5 times slower, allowing more hang time and pin point accuracy jigging.

The sharp edges on the rear does not allow the lure to be affected by currents making it possible for pin-point jigging. The darting capabilities surely make Hokker 7 an "Atomic Darter!"

Notice the hologram sticker and body...

TiCA Taurus 6000SH/7000SH

Looking back to my 1st popping reel, TiCa Taurus 6000SH with a spare spool of 7000SH. Excellent reel. Tough body, can handle rough usage. Gear ratio 5.9:1 and weight 22oz. The 7000SH spool can be fill with ~ 250m of 50lb Tuffline XP.
