Newc Stock Arrival-DAIWA REEL - CERTATE 2500R

2010-06-17T22:17:00.005+08:00

Magnetic Innovation

Each time a new reel is released anglers are astonished by its lightness and smoothness of revolution. The original Certate, introduced in 2004, brought ground breaking technology with Real Four design, a combination that set standards for all Daiwa spinning reels from that time on. Its unparalleled engineering produced a flawless design that became the flagship for Daiwa. Until now. Introducing the all new Certate. New innovations and unparalleled designs, it’s what you’ve come to expect from the world leader in fishing tackle.

Introducing MAG SEALED

The new Certate heralds a giant leap forward in design, revolving around one ground breaking material – magnetic fluid. Developed by NASA to magnetically deliver fuel to space ships, this technology has now been adapted to Daiwa’s latest flagship spinning reel.

Being magnetized this lubrication system avoids any friction and prevents dust intrusion, eliminating oil spray and significantly improving reel life expectancy.

The challenge for Daiwa was to utilise the inherent benefits of magnetic liquid in a reel design. We have – by combining innovative design and new CRBB bearings with a magnetic oil membrane making water intrusion a thing of the past.

Working in conjunction with Mag Seal the new Air Rotor stystem improves reel sensitivity and prevents foreign material such as water, salt, sand and dust collecting inside the reel preventing corrosion issues.

The innovation continues with the Real Four next generation in spinning reel technology including the new ABS11, the super smooth UTD drag system, Real Stopper anti reverse system and the tough, yet lightweight, Digigear drive.

Just when you thought Certate was the best you could buy, think again. The best has just got better!

Fishing at West Coast Park

2010-05-26T08:37:00.003+08:00

Activity Info
As the saying goes, 'Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime'. Discover the immense satisfaction when you have successfully caught a fish. Come down to our waterfront parks and experience the inexplicable joy of fishing.
Arm yourself with the necessary fishing equipment and most definitely, ample amount of patience and head down to the fishing grounds amidst the parks.
Enjoy a fruitful fishing session in the tranquility of Sembawang Park. The beach side is not only beautiful, but also serves as a popular fishing ground. Oozing similar tranquil charm, albeit more crowded, Lower Seletar Reservoir Park is another recommended fishing spot in the northern side of Singapore.
Appropriately themed 'Play Centre in the West', fishing is certainly not omitted from West Coast Park.
Pick up a trick or two about fishing from the many recreational anglers who frequent Bedok Jetty. Located in East Coast Park, the waters in the area are famed for its bountiful supply of fishes. You will be greeted by cheerful park visitors along the pathways and across the horizon sits the picturesque view of the faraway islands. At Pasir Ris Park, Pasir Ris Town Park and Bedok Reservoir Park, you too will be welcomed by such a sight as you fish. If your preference is for a less crowded fishing spot, Changi Beach Park is the ideal destination. Rest on the bench and just watch the world goes by. Not before long, you would see the fruits of your labor.
Feel the rhythm of life slow down as you throw in your rod into the waters. Immerse yourself in an oasis of calmness and serenity as you listen to the sound of the soothing waves. Let the sudden and much-awaited vibrating of the rod jolt you back to the world.
But take note, fishing is only permitted in designated areas and should be carried out in the most responsible manner. Please kindly respect the surrounding area and wildlife. No live bait is to be used at all times.

Daiwa i-fishing Pond Fishing Competition

2010-03-29T22:45:00.001+08:00

The 2010 Daiwa i-fishing Pond Fishing Competition was held recently on the 21st of March at the Pasir Ris Town Park Big Pond.

The event was organized by E-Waves Fishbyte, co-organized by Fishing Affairs and sponsored by Daiwa TCE Sports.

The day of the event dawned bright and sunny, and before long the bright yellow event tent at the pond was filled with people eagerly buying their tickets and registering for the competition. Each participant was issued a ticket with a lucky draw number and a tag for their fishing rods.

A horn blast signalled the start of the competition and the participants cast off in hopes of landing the biggest of nearly a ton of fishes that was released into the pond earlier.

Soon, catches were being brought to the weighing station to be weighed-in. At first, catches of around 4kg were in the lead, but before noon, a catch weighing in at a whopping 6.19kg had beat out all the rest.

All too soon, the competition drew to a close at 4pm as the lucky draw winners were picked and prizes were given out. The winner was Mr. Benny Teo with his catch of 7.07kg, with the first and second runners-up winning with catches of 6.19kg and 5.43kg respectively. They each went home with cash prizes of up to $2000 and reels sponsored by Daiwa. The 4th to 10th prize and lucky draw winners also received vouchers from organizers E-waves Fishbyte and a Daiwa fishing reel.

E-Waves Fishbyte Deep Sea Night Fishing Competition 2009

2009-10-19T17:46:00.001+08:00

On the afternoon of the 17th of October, we arrived at Buroh Lane to begin preparations for the competition.

Cleaning up the area

Putting up banners

Soon, participants began to arrive, and we got busy with registration.

All pumped for the competition ;)

Selling bait!

Come get your fresh prawns and sotong here!

The fishing boats, all ready to go.

And... We're off!

Tired from the day's work, the organizers went home for a rest.

The next day, we arrived as dawn was breaking to prepare for the return of the competitors.

It was a beautiful morning :)

Setting up the table for the prize presentation and lucky draw...

So many sponsored rods and reels to be given away later, thanks to Daiwa and TCE Sports!

Before long, boats started coming in.

This was one of the first catches to be brought in by a participant, Mr. Richard Li.

It weighed-in at a whopping 12kg!

Ooh, that box looks heavy!

Wow, what a good haul!

More boats arrive...

Looking at the catches brought in so far...

Wow, that's a big one, too!

Weighing it in...

Crowding around to take a look at the night's catches.

As more boats arrive, the line gets longer...

Participants returning tired but happy

Oh, do I have to jump?

Finally, when all the boats had returned, it was group photo time!

Then, it was time to gather round for the prize-giving ceremony and prize presentation!

The first prize went to Mr. Richard Li with his catch of 12 kg!
The second prize winner was Mr. Moses Chew with his catch weighing in at 11kg.
The third prize went to Mr. Muhammad Amin for his catch of weight 8kg.

Congratulations!

So many rods and reels to be given away! (Well, 30 of each, to be exact :])

'Fishing' for a ticket...

And the lucky winner is...

The tide was coming in quickly and all too soon, it was time for us to disperse.

We thank everyone for their support and hope that you had a good time!

We also especially thank our sponsors Daiwa and TCE Sports for the prizes.

Also, to everyone, do participate again in our next fishing competition coming soon sometime next year ;)

And finally, here's our certificate for breaking the record for the Largest Deep Sea Fishing Competition!

2009-03-24T17:52:00.001+08:00

The morning of the competition dawned bright and sunny. It was definitely good weather for fishing! (:

Soon enough, excited fishermen started pouring in to register themselves and to drop their ticket stubs in for the lucky draw at the end of the day.

All ready to set off!

Time flies when you're having fun, and soon people were arriving back at the Club to have their catches of the day weighed and evaluated!

There was a bout of bad weather around the time the boats were due back at the club, but even that couldn't dampen everyone's spirits - we simply got out our umbrellas and raincoats and got on with the show!

11.3kg? Whoa, that's a big one!

Look, the E-waves organizing team's got a catch! And quite a big one, too, at 3.5kg! Too bad we can't get any prizes :(

"Wait for me!"

This participant came in just in the nick of time with his 8.9kg catch that ultimately won him 2nd place in the competition!

Participants and passers-by taking a look at the catches of the day

Wow, look at the size of that one! says our guest-of-honour, Mr. Andrew Chua, Chairman of the Ayer Rajah-West Coast CCC.

Snapshots with our big winners:

Our second- place winner, David, with his catch of 8.9kg and our first- place winner, Richard, with his catch of 11.3kg! The third prize winner, Michael, with his catch of 2.3kg, is unfortunately absent from this shot. His fish is there, though! :D

And now, it's finally time for our lucky draw!
Thanks to our generous sponsors, with so many prizes to give away, nearly everyone was a winner!

Group photo time!

Our prizewinners and helpers

All of us at E-Waves Fishbye wish to thank everyone who participated and helped make the event a success. We hope that you will continue supporting us in future.

We acknowledge that there were certain discrepancies on our part and certain things did not go exactly as planned. We apologize for our mistakes and hope that everyone realizes that as E-waves Fishbyte is still a relatively new establishment, we are very much inexperienced in organizing such events.

We appreciate all your constructive feedback and suggestions. We will definitely keep them in mind so as to be able to better serve you in future.

Finally, on a less serious note,

If you would like hard copies of the photos, drop by at the E-waves Fishbyte shop at Clementi West Street 2 to collect limited free copies :)

Thank you!
