    Hi Mikey,

    It has been donkey years since the last time i visited a tackle shop. Is there any good about this new product?

    If people concentrated on the really important things in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles.

    Hi Edy, actually I'm not really sure if these lines are good. I use Fireline most of the time because its readily available and not too costly. Curious to know if these lines by Rapala are any good and was hoping to get some for my inshore jiggin' These days I hardly need more than 150m of line so these filler spools are just right for me.

    Yo Mikey,

    I've pointed Fred of Rapala VMC to your queries regarding the new rapala braids.

    He said the packaging done swee-swee already, but he is still braiding the lines.

    He might reply to this thread when he takes a break from the braiding.

    These days you hardly use more than 150m of line...
    hmm...i remember a post by a certain spartan..

    hmmm... do I know you from somewhere? die man... you know I am "mikey" but I haven't got the foggiest idea who you are Aiyah... 300m depth, even if our armed forces decided to do nuclear testing... we will still not have a hole so deep in local waters. 300m is for year end "excursion" For local scene, I get to use small BC reels 2-3 times a month so there's hardly a need for anything more than 150m of line

    Anyway thanks for the input on those Rapala Braids. Hope Ol Fred doesn't take too long a break.

    Aiya..dear JUDAS ah.. not a wonder lah.. u so well known in é fishing circle, many people also know u mah..

    I newbie of course nobody knows me, including u lah..

    well, i can understand that most of us will use tackle with 150m of line much more often than stuff for spartan undertakings such as your intended.

    & yeah.. hope fred replies soon too.

    cheers,
    lance

    "Hi Lance,

    just got the word from Rapala Asia HQ that sorry, this range of braided line will not be on our market. They have no intention to bring in yet.

    cheers,

    Fred"
