I get this trip slot when Sham, my buddy from Kedah offer to me 2 month before. I just confirm to him for joining it when his first call. Actually, for joining this trip i want to improve my popping & jigging skill in deep water ( 60mtr~90mtr).

My Setup :-

Jigging

Rod : Saltiga Hiramasa SG58H PE5

Reel : Saltiga Game 3500

Line : YGK Ultra Jigman 35lbs

Shock Leader : Varivas 80lbs

Jig : 80g ~220g

Popping

Rod : Custom Xzoga PE2-4

Reel : Stella SW5000HG

Line : Xzoga PE2

Shock Leader : Varivas 80lbs

Popper : 80g ~ 110g

Take 24 hours from jeti Kuala Besut Terengganu to get the last Oil Rig (Pulai) at ZEE border of Indonesian water. This trip need more patient & tough mind. There are no bottom fishing apply in this trip. Fully popping & jigging. So there are no Gred A fish caught like snapper & grouper. This boat can loaded 12 anglers + 1 tekong & 3 boatman. Triple deck for sleep & rest, toilet. Of course there are sonar, fish finder, GPS & satellite phone equip in this boat. No drop anchor cause the boat was drifting when fishing.

Overall Catches

Next time we'll try spearfishing style here

OMG... this is real GT

Summary :

For this trip we have to standby our tackle properly cause there are so many Big & powerful GT there. I just loose 200mtr my line twice from my Saltiga Game. Shame on me for under estimate. Make sure bring 2 set of jigging & 2 set of popping tackle for trip unless you want to loose your time reloaded your line to reel.

Suitable Tackle :

Rod : Jigging PE2-5, Popping PE4-6

Reel : best drag & line can loaded 300mtr++

Line : PE5-6

Shock Leader : 80lbs above
