    Certates are built more robustly than Vanfords. Either way, night and day difference on overall quality anyway (shouldn't even be mentioned together for comparison). The new FC Certate is actually...

    Makes me wonder how many of the Duckett rods break. LOL. (I have heard quite a bit, but don't know first hand.)

    Never said they were the same thing. I think people pitch more than “traditional” flipping these days. Punching is the closest thing now to what flipping used to be, and I wouldnt say that they...

    Another 2 cents thrown in. Rods you can feel. Techniques, presentation, castability, and sensitivity are all rod dependent. Unless you are using crappy reels, rods have more to do with your...

    The folding net that comes with the FXR sucks. I’ve taken mine out and use an Ego net. It'll fit in the front center compartment.

    Dealers trying to steer you away either have no FXR’s in stock or are getting away with higher profits on the ZXR’s. That digital dash panel has been around for years with the previous FX’s.

    It never hurts to shop, and, being in Missouri, I’d definitely check with Ben Green Insurance (you can easily find his contact info with a search on Facebook). Typically, for me anyway, its hard to...

    Im going to guess that the ‘19 JDM version will have interchangeable spools with the ‘19 US version. Costs of spools (Daiwa brand) are pretty pricy though, I’d almost consider another reel at JDM...

    Generally, parts like the spools are interchangeable, but noteworthy is that the new Certate has an FC LT2500 model and a LT2500 model. You probably have the FC LT2500S-XH model. The US model must...

    Its pretty much "to each their own". I have the opposite view. I feel I hold the power on the spinning rod in my last three fingers, two being below the reel stem. That's where I want my handle to...

    Magnetic brake control seems to work better than centrifugal braking when it comes to skipping with a baitcaster. Shallow spools help, but you can put electrical tape on your spool at about the 35...

    I'm guessing you haven't had a well made rod in your hands to compare with, otherwise you'd know. That's not saying every rod builder makes the best though, so I agree with the skeptism. Those...

    I'd try a different knot before making the investment move to new rods. At least get that part out of the way.

    I've tried and experimented with different sizes and settled on 2500. Its called "finesse" for a reason. I'm sure preferences will be different for different people.

    Its called adapt or get left behind. We've made a lot of money using spinning gear since the 90's (in a region where it was laughed at). Personally, I wish it hadn't caught on so much.

    Though overall I like my FXR 21 better than my 20i, my biggest disappointment is its stability. With 2 guys up front, it is actually better more stable than any boat I've been in. However, with a...

    Zylene baded Goof Off (or just get Zylene). It could loosen the carpet glue, if too much is used or it isn’t washed off well, but regluing might be better than staring at an annoying stain.

    Ashmore Marine has them for $40 each (you will need 2). I’m giving it thought, but my main purpose would be to keep fish from jumping out, not “protecting” the fish from bouncing around. Not sure...
