dhype Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 (edited) Hey Raiders Ok - i'm stuck in Penang, Malaysia for a few weeks to due work so what better thing to do on the weekend than to hit the local tackle shops! I found a line of tackle shops about 20 minutes away from the hotel so I paid them a vist this afternoon... came back with these.. With the current exchange rate of AU$1.00 to RM$3.25.. I was VERY pleased with the prices... terminal tackle and lures are 1/2 to 1/3 of local prices! They even gave me a 10% discount off my entire purchase - hahahah ... laughing! With How much did i pay? Ecogear VX blades AU$7.50 ! OMFG ! Berkley Nitro Owner jigheads - AU$2.50 ! Berkley scented squid jigs - AU$3.50! I paid $15 for these back in Sydeny and are one of my favorite jigs for Botany so i cleaned them up! 10 x sabaki jigs - AU$3.50 !! yes for 10x .. thats 35 cents a pack! Plastics squid packs - AU$0.50 - $2.00 a pack ! Blade lures - AU$1.50 !! Owner / Gama W hooks packs - AU$4.00 !! Stainless Pilers - AU$8.00 ! Hook covers - 50 cents a pack of 3-4 All up I got a bed full of gear for AU$125.00... go back for more next week (LuckyCraft, Jackall, yozuri etc). So its happy shopping for tackle junkies who come to Malaysia. BTW - I'm booking a GT fishing charter next week so looking forward to that too!

rockfisherman Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Yep, can't beat discount tackle, takes a little bit of the hurt away when you loose it to the sea floor or a big fish Fishingphase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
