You get what you pay for with FC. I’ve been using P-Line Tactical and Daiwa Samurai for the past 5 years, I’ve never had a knot fail or any mystery break offs. No conditioner is needed either.

Yes definitely. This winter has been way colder than usual around here and I’m over it. I absolutely despise wintertime and I’m itching for it to warm up so I can do some fishing.

Oh I know that. My Tracker PT 175 has a wooden deck

The new Tracker Savage has an aluminum deck

No wood in this one.

Depends on size in Virginia. My 17 footer is 36$ for 3 years

I have a couple of small farm ponds that I’ll fish several times a year. It’s nice if I want to make a few casts after work and don’t feel like loading the boat up.

I have several Zillions that came from Japan through Amazon. No problems at all

I had a 45” on mine

JDM means reels that are sold in Japan, it has nothing to do where they’re manufactured at. A lot of JDM reels like the Tatula 100 for example are still manufactured in Thailand.

Worst thing I fell for was braid is a good multipurpose line, I hate it and only use it for throwing frogs.

Zillion HD has MagZ spool, not SV. Has brass gears instead of aluminum, longer handle and black paint.

SPRO Little John 50 is killer in cold water.

I catch at least 80 percent or more on Jigs Texas rigs Crankbaits

I’ve always upgraded my electronics before they went bad, except for a little 4 inch humminbird unit I had on a Jon boat years ago, that one died at just 13 months old.
