visit to Digital Aquarium

popped by digital aquarium, puchong today 
was able to check out the daiwa t3 and t3b(allistic) side by side
t3b in hand feels double the weight of the t3 ... tackletour guys are on the ball as usual
t3 retrieve feels significantly smoother than its sibling
don't like the plasticky look and feel of the t3b's drag star and clutch control knob
its zaion frame makes the reel quite light which unfortunately, does not inspire confidence on my part (personal quirk) 
pop up hood feels flimsy


still unsure if i'd fork out rm800-900+ for it or +rm1000 for its higher end sibling just for the t-wing feature
for that amount of money, you're getting star drags and clutch control knobs with micro clickers and daiwa's proprietary magforce-z brakes
fwiw, the centri-braked ABU revo inshore feels much smoother and more solid (read confidence inspiring) than either with micro clickers for its star drag and clutch control knob for less than rm600.


found the zerek origin series sabetwitch 10-17lb 1 piece 6-foot and wondernow 8-17lb 1 piece 6-foot rods quite pleasing ... light, strong, with a sticker price that's higher than expected. in hand, it somehow feels that 6' 6" would feel much better. if i had to choose, sabetwitch would be my personal pick.


stock of st croix rods have increased


the ABU salty fighter light jigging rod reminds me of the viper venom rods ... white with blue markings ... sticker price of rm400+ ... thin, light, strong ... definitely a LIKE
