If you could only choose one for fishing clear water northern smallmouth would you take FFS or 360? I am finally going to take the plunge and wanted to get some input since I haven’t used either.

I have both and they serve different purposes. I probably catch more fish with 360. I learn more with FFS. If I had to choose one it would be FFS.

I chose ffs, I have SI on my Ultrex and can use that like a poor man’s 360. mL2 is on the targetlock pole.

I would choose FFS. As cool as 360 is, I don’t want another pole hanging off my trolling motor shaft.

I have 360 and really like it. i dont want ffs because im an old man and dont think its real fishing. thats just for me i dont care what others do.as much as i like 360 i think for clear water smallmuth up north you would be better off with ffs.

Got em both. Like em both.

Entirely different tools.

Would you rather have a flipping stick or a jerk bait rod? Same question.

I'll be the odd man out here and say 360 easily.

I can see so much more on it. I fish structure and I know there's fish there. I can't get into this whole "don't cast until I see a fish" thing. If there's a rock pile, there's gonna be fish on it.

thats the way i am and why i love my 360. nothing against ffs but i get to fish one day a week. if im lucky. when i get that chance i want to fish.

I’ve had ffs 2 years now Lvs34 I just added a mega 360 two weeks ago. I think the combination of both will be the best I haven’t been on the water yet this year hopefully in a couple more weeks I’ll be able to test it out.
