    Dear Boyd Duckett...

    Please either teach the people who build your rods what a locking wrap is OR stop using the thread finish that is impossible to get off without taking off the paint.

    Thanks in advance,

    Everyone

    Wonder if they are using something similar to the old Crystal Coat? That stuff was really hard to get off a blank and always resulted in having to touch up the blank.

    What’s the tag line, “made by the pros, for the pros”? Mass produced in China is my guess.

    Although the assemblers are making .63¢/hr. equivalent they are being paid; ergo they are 'professionals'...

    That is what every other company does... Why should they be any different?

    Got one sitting in my repair bin now. Always keep Fuji 4 and 4.5 around for them.

    Bought two a few years back. Kept them less than a month.
    So many other rods in the Duckett price ranges that offer so much better quality for the money. That I’ve never had to repair.
    But, personal preference. Buy what you like.

    Yeah but he seems the worst on the market right now. Companies will make a similar bait but he straight copies baits along with the names.
