hmm so am i right to say that after threading the beads you tie a section of line/ snell below it to hold it in place? if yes, can i make an "upscaled" version using bigger hooks and bigger equipment to target bigger fish? Yes, you can make a bead fly on bigger hook, the biggest bead fly I'd tied w...

Thanks peace, these fish were caught from the same spot, was very surprised to find variety of cichlids there. Hope to see your tilapia CR soon.

Nice updates. I tried to tie one with limited materials, I couldn't find any soft fur so I cut off a small piece of owl feather I had with me. It looked kind of crude, I hope something that's that when I get a chance to use it. :lol: Looks pretty nice, any mayan tilapia won't resist taking it i gue...

Tied a fly with size 6 octopus hook and the Tilapias just love it.. https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/--3aCQ0l8Iks/TyFhwJBTfMI/AAAAAAAAAcs/5Dgj-ibb4ww/s640/Size6%2520fly.jpg https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-WiSvmqh29r0/TyFhwxI-s6I/AAAAAAAAAc4/1x3dbDaofj8/s640/Sml%2520T%252001.jpg https://lh4.googl...

I think both poptiger and Simplicity were using your thread to post their own questions, they should had posted their questions in a new thread instead, to prevent confusion.

Has anyone tried buying fishing rod from online store http://www.plat.co.jp?
Is it reliable? and the shipping charge expensive?

Thanks for the tip, may I know what's the effectiveness in adding the feathers, particularly when used to lure the tilapias? ie. hit rate with and without the feathers. No problem, with a tail (craft fur, marabou, rabbit fur etc.) will be more effective. Remember to retrieve line very slowly with a...

Nice temmies! 2nd fish slightly over a kg?

Where do you get your beads from, embroidery shops? I might try putting together a fly once I get the beads, water level has been rather low lately and I recall seeing some eartheaters in the shallows. :mischieve: I bought the beads from a craft shop in people's park centre, not quite sure the bead...

That's a good showcase on flies for tilapia, I've never gotten them to bite on an artificial lure before. :sweatdrop: One question, do you need to remove the barb of the hook so that you can string the beads in? Nice work. :thumbsup: Thanks, most people got them easily on bread but I find it more c...

Where can I get all those stuff ? Changi ? I stay in hougang soo by any chance the G-takle shop have those stuff??? Yes, you can find them in Fishing Tackle shops at Changi Village or Beach Road. I guess G-tackle do sell a one piece 5 ft AJN Carbon Ultra-Light spinning rod (S$50+), rod strength 4-1...

May I ask , how much would it cause you for a decent full set of spin-fly (rod,reel,line). Hopefully its not too ex cause I'm only a student :( My UL setup cost about S$100 or so, you can start with Exori Solid Carbon III rod (S$50+) or Berkley Cherrywood rod (S$30+), pair with Tica Cetus 500 reel ...

Try Chop Hock Heng at Beach Road..
