Hi guys,
Just want to share something with you all.
INCASE any of you guys happen to be in Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur in particular....make it a point to go to a very BIG fishing tackle shop...by the name of KEPONG TACKLE.
Was there just about last week. I spent a good 3 hours inside the shop!!!!!! Its the largest tackle shop in Malaysia.
Looking/browsing through all the stuff, noticed the very HUGE selections of SHIMANO products....as they have a fully dedicated Shimano "shop in a shop".....which (alone) is already bigger than any (two combined ) of the tackle shops at the Al Ras area!!!!! The prices are quite good as well BUT the best buys will be those of ABU GARCIA brand as this tackle shop is the importer and distributor of Abu Garcia products within Malaysia.
As a comparison, the Abu Garcia REVO Skeet Reese baitcaster is retailed at US$280 in the states but is only about US$192 there
!!!!!! The light spinning reel 701LX (which I got one for myself 
) is retailed at US$109 in the states but was only US$59 there!!!!Another best buy there are braided lines. Spiderwires EZ braid 20lbs and 30lbs in 300yds spool is only RM62 or about AED65 each!!!!!
They carry all sorts of brands/products......from cheap stuff to the (EXTRA) high end!!!! Accurate, Avet, Shimano, Daiwa, Ryobi, Tica, Banax, Fisherman, Seven Seas, Jigging Masters, Expert, Eupro....sort of you name it...they have it!!!!!
The address of the shop is as folows;
No. 62-68, Jalan Besar Kepong
Batu 8 Kepong
52100 Kuala Lumpur
Tel : +603627404601
It a 10-15 mins taxi ride from Kuala Lumpur Main city.
Major landmark....Al Amaniah Masjid(Mosque) which is just about 50m on the opposite side of the road.
Ciao!
