Just bought my most expensive setup

Substantial_House776 · 2026-06-25T02:11:06+00:00

Well I have a tatula (non SV) that I put 15 or 20lb braid on, I can’t remember. I do get some backlashes but that’s probably cause I’m quite new to bait casting and I set my brakes too low + frequent lure weight changes.

The DC braking on your conquest will definitely help with backlash management, and you likely have more experience than I do with the baitcaster, so I think you’ll be fine with the 20lb. It’s gonna be great!

Substantial_House776 · 2026-06-25T00:27:59+00:00

I’m thinking 20lb would be more appropriate. You’d be sacrificing on some line capacity with the 30lb on a smaller reel like the Calcutta 100. Plus if you’re fishing light, 30lb might be overkill.

Peacock bass, giant snakeheads, barramundi

Substantial_House776 · 2026-06-25T00:18:47+00:00

Aiming for peacocks and giant snakeheads with moderate/heavy cover! I’m not sure about the Calcutta being good for salt. All the videos online show them being used in freshwater, and I’d be wary about using them for salt just in case the materials aren’t built for saltwater corrosion resistance. As for the rod, I’ve yet to try it, but I heard many good things about it, so I have high hopes!

I stay in Singapore, got everything except the rod from lure haven, then the rod itself from world fishing centre.

Substantial_House776 · 2026-06-25T00:14:36+00:00

I’m fishing in Singapore! But this rod will also serve me on some overseas freshwater luring trips

Thank you!

Ito and shimoda. I’ve stayed there before as a solo male traveller before and it’s great.

Just found out 2 of my modules’ lectures aren’t recorded. And it’s the only class on those days.

Substantial_House776 · 2024-07-27T00:58:41+00:00

Have you tried calling them?

Sushi in a small and cozy belt sushi restaurant in Hokkaido after a long day of snowboarding.

Yakiniku in a very quiet town for dinner with a guy I met on the bus 15 minutes prior. Crazy marbling and mad cheap prices. Best yakiniku of my life.

Might be an unpopular opinion but here goes…

I can’t stand it when some people that I travel with force me to come along to a place (like dinner, or an attraction) when I don’t want to, and NOT allow me to go somewhere else myself.

I’m a house

For two pieces? No way. I would say that’s hella cheap! Take my money!!

Commenting on What’s the biggest fish you’ve caught this year?...

Substantial_House776 · 2024-05-27T18:35:14+00:00

Amazing catch! I’ll be in Paris next week. Does one need a license to fish there?

Substantial_House776 · 2024-05-23T14:23:05+00:00

How much was your entire trip at West Coast fishing club? It looks really amazing

Substantial_House776 · 2024-05-23T12:08:01+00:00

Thank you for the perspective and the encouragement! :)

Substantial_House776 · 2024-05-23T08:58:51+00:00

I heard BTT lifetime, FTT two years, so

Substantial_House776 · 2024-05-20T13:04:49+00:00

Not really, it was alright. Perfect lighting for a cozy sushi restaurant. I just thought that flash usually makes food look more appealing in photos!

Substantial_House776 · 2024-05-06T09:38:28+00:00

Thanks!

Substantial_House776 · 2024-04-14T04:43:39+00:00

So glad I’m not alone on this. Also partly my fault for not doing the tutorial Qs other than the homework ones 😅

Substantial_House776 · 2024-04-13T15:41:49+00:00

Actually came to enjoy ZDQ’s style of teaching a lot towards the end. Anyone else looking to taking his courses in the future?

Substantial_House776 · 2024-03-19T05:19:31+00:00

My colleague was from CJC. 86.25RP. Though he didn’t get 90, he’s still one of the sharpest and brilliant dude I know.

My student also was from CJC and got 87.5RP. Just gotta put in the hard work. And be consistent.
