My Story
Upon closer observation, you will notice that all individuals holding high paying positions may possess talent or they may not, regardless of how good they are, each individual holds a different perspective over matters. So what is the formula to success?
If the same question was posed to me several years back, I honestly do not hold or have an inkling of what the answer may be, but as of now, I think I have it. The answer is simple, if you would want to accomplish a feat and become a ‘rockstar’ in any industry, you will need to have faith that you can succeed from the get-go and just go all out towards achieving that goal.
With hard work, passion and a few out-of-the box approaches, I am certain anyone can become a ‘rockstar’ in any industry you choose and gain a positive reputation while fulfilling your passion or hobby. Trust me, once you get things right, the rest will just fall in place but the main ingredient is discipline, drive, passion and also a never-say-die attitude.
The Early Years
I was taught how to fish by my brothers when I was at the tender age of 3 – 4 years old, and I never stopped nagging them to bring me out for fishing ever since my first angling experience together with them. It is ironic how the experience and memory linger in my mind with clarity as if this event occurred only yesterday. My first fishing rod was a makeshift rod made out of bamboo that I carry around with me on a daily basis. Every single day, I will go out fishing and it is a memory with much sentimental value as these were the first steps I took towards being an angler. I still recall, my first spinning reel I purchased cost RM 14 at the age of 9 and it was packed as a combo.
Being raised in a wage earner’s household, we did not have much cash to spare, hence I resorted towards ‘borrowing’ the money from my mother’s purse which resulted in a ‘gift’ from her…yeap, I got smacked real good for the stunt I pulled off, needless to say, it was the first and last time I ever stole ever again in my life.

Sharing is Caring
Kanicen is an adamant believer of sharing and contributing the moment we are successful because I believe sharing or contributing something which is positive, just begets more positive vibes all around. As such, he is ever willing and ready to guide, teach and shape new anglers to the ultralight scene to become seasoned and experienced ultralight anglers, as you may notice through this website, there are several links and pages pertaining to setups and how it can all be balanced in order to enjoy the apex of ultralight angling.
As such, Kanicen always advises new comers to the scene to pass on the knowledge and skills he has shaped them to develop in order to build a positive, supportive and passionate which will therefore enrich the Ultralight Angling arena as we work together towards exploring new horizons for ultralight angling.
Today
The above segments pretty much sums up everything about Kanicen Nix up till date. Aside from being the founder of a Kanicen Nix’s company, he is also responsible to be the bedrock and foundation of brands and communities such as Ultralight Anglers, Peek Tide and many others which are more focused towards providing the community range of products. As with all things in life, I have had my fair share of failures and success along the way, and based on all my collated experience thus far, I have come to learn something important, in life, matters never occur or happen the way or manner we picture or plan it to be, however, when in times of doubt it is what we choose to do in the most trying of times which defines us and our accomplishments. And to this philosophy he holds in spearheading his brand, “Kanicen Nix” within the Ultralight Angling community.
