My kid is flying from Hong Kong to Bangkok in October to fish,fantastic place for freshwater leviathans,when i first went there i took a 5lb t/c catfish rod and big-pit reel,nowadays i realise thats overgunned as my last trip there in february i saw a guy pulling monsters out with a tiny 6 foot rod and reel combo,i have seen guys with shoulder harnesses,humungous multipliers and uptider rods but unless your trying for 50kg pla buk they arent really needed,get a 3lb t/c carp rod and a shimano baitrunner and your going to have fun with 9kg fish and still have the potential to handle double that size fish,where you fishing?
