Popper

The use of popper in fresh water pond and lake in malaysia isn't popular. You know why?




Mainly, most malaysian fish (Native fish) are small and not so aggresive ( Excluded our native monster fish like Toman, Sebarau (Masheer) and Kelah) compare to Peacock Bass (PB), Large mouth bass, chiclid and etc. The problem lies at the number of fishes. In overseas like US and Japan, u can get PB, Bass and chiclid in their water system. The number is so much more. Plus the fact that this fish likes to entertain popper and it is irresistable for them. With that the use of popper for them is very popular and they even comes out with different action of popper in the market like "walk the dog".



In Malaysia, we dun have those many aggresive meat eater fish. That's why the use of popper isnt so popular. Lately the number of popper sold in the country is growing especially for saltwater.



Lately i have been using popper to catch PB in Subang Lake at the far end corner. i caught many PB using popper and it is real fun. You are able to see those PB coming from nowhere and snatch the popper. POW.. u hit one after another. hehehe.. i had great fun using popper. Oh those popper i use are homemade. hehe.. I'm a fly fisher so.. we make our own lure.

P/S: The satisfaction of Fly Fishing is when your own design of lure/fly catches many fishes; this prove that your lure/fly is effective.

Hay Bro, My Name is Kane.. I read your fishing blog.. It's damn cool.. Sometimes i went to Subang Jaya lake for PBass fishing.. But after all this time i only managed to catch small one.. Usually i went fishing on the lake near the paypond near the restaurant.. Which free lake do you think it's better for Pbass fishing, the beside jogging track one or the beside the restaurant one?
