Its pretty simple and obvious. Its for rich people who dont even like fishing. It is the most disappointing thing i have ever seen in fishing. I cant even begin to understand how any angler cant see it. Its the end of fishing.

I think the obvious comparison is how almost every other sport has limits on technology to keep the "sport" in the sport. Why does baseball not allow aluminum bats? Why are there limits on golf clubs and ball technology when we could easily design equipment to exponentially hit balls further? Why do we have any rules in bass fishing at all? I think FFS is awesome technology and has allowed us to learn so much more about bass. On the other hand, it is completely boring to watch someone stare at a scope all day. so I think the obvious answer is to allow FFS in practice but not in tournaments.

Hello, Not my beach but well told. See you at the next post "weekend fisherman". Cheers

哟 英文版来啦

Just because you can see the fish doesn’t mean that they are going to eat your bait. People are hilarious, they think that having FFS is cheating and that it’s so easy to use and it guarantees you that you’re gonna catch fish. Also I can’t stand people that have never used FFS but continue to bash it and say it’s cheating. I would love to see someone come on my boat and try and use FFS, and watch them struggle man I would pay to see that

Very well spoken. As far as obstacle avoidance, buying FFS just for this would be like buying insurance. Most people would rather take the chance than but insurance just for this.

Dude the underwater senator killed me lol 😂. Great idea on using ffs for safety .

Thanx Bassniper. I fish club level and a few open tournaments. The FFS has definitely impacted that level. I look at this as someone will always have a bigger or better boat, a more sensitive rod, a further casting reel and yes better electronics. In pro level you better have the best or your at a huge disadvantage. Being able to see a fish eat your lure probably has gone to far. It's hard enough to call bass fishing a sport. There's still talent involved with FFS but being able to skip a jig under a overhang or pitch a worm between two dock pilings without a splash is more of a sporting talent. Bottom line, I don't like it but if I was pro, I'd have it.

A better description would be directional sonar.

We in eastern europe have mounted LIVE sonars on a movable handles since they came out. No one ever hard bolted the "FFS" to the boat. For us it is not a a FFS, because we can turn it any direction we want.

I just want to use my new electric device I am working on to shock the fish just like game department’s do !

Its about its use in tournaments. And you never answered my question about your use of Kanji (Japanese) when you are Chinese.

No one is against new tech. However, there are people who are against taking unfair advantage of our shared resources.

Will these chatterbaits catch trout ? Awesome channel.

You have a great idea .bassmd

On this video alone it's worth the sub and like. That was excellent information and it has now given me a new insight on how to work my soft plastics. Thank you very much.

Good job fighting that wiper. She definitely wasn’t ready after seeing the boat!

Great Video! I'm going to be Picking up a couple of These for sure. Thank You for the great Information.

Not all reels are the same. Maybe you just got the bad malfunctioning one. That’s why keep your receipt and get a replacement.

Same shiet under different name Stradic Ci4 then Vanford. Junk reel at a premium price.

Great video, very good and detailed presentation, with perfect examples and comparisons! You skipped to point out one detail that makes this lure a gem, in combination with all the others you mentioned.

💦🎣🤪

#1 is the bass puzzle grass piece. Grass and wood and rock. Basically anywhere and can be used like a buzz bait too. Ultra versatile and add any trailer type get it to do more. 🎉

My Vanford FA, I upgraded to cnc cut Carbontex Drag washers, I have never been a fan of Felt washers, all my bigger Penn reels all have carbon fibre Drag washers.

I was gonna get a ballistic mq but found a vanford on sale for $170. Hope im not disappointed. Love my tatula so this is surely an upgrade. Old tat. No mq.

Youre comoaring a $200 reel to $600 plus reels. No shit its not as smooth as the stelka. Everything gonna feel shitty compared to stella or twin power.

Hi ! Wery good video ! My Vanford has this problem !!

I read that Diawa uses shimano gears.

Static cross drag is a marketing phrase and that’s it. You can compare the new felt drag to older generations and there is no difference.

Shimano reels are overrated and overpriced. You can buy Lew’s, PFlueger and Okuma for much cheaper and receive much higher end features.

I bought a whole pile from Japan when they were released, love these baits. has delivered when nothing else worked. fishing for perch in Sweden

For folks who are interested in where might be a good place to get these: Digita** Jap** Lure S*** Asia* Port** Disclaimer: this is not an ad of any sort and I have zero affiliation with any of the the manufacturer or seller mentioned in the video or comment.

Probebly gonna bench you content. But would love to see you get your hands on a svivlo reel and have you have a go at there what I know unik breaking system thats analog but you never have to make any adjustments. Give ity a google and Im sure you will find it. :)

It's a 26$ lure here in sweden and just come in two colors in the local shop but I probebly will pick up atleast one but wont put it into the water without a foot of 0.6fc leader to secure it from pike. My favorit bladed-jig is the eye-chatter and that's a 7$ lure. :P Just found you channel but i will sub and stick around great, detail info. :)

Thanx Bassniper. Great video, now I know why I like my MGL spools. I do use braid for backing due to weight but always wondered if braid held more water weight and should switch to mono? The Einstein wig cracked me up!

Thanx Bassniper. You may have lost a few Diawa fans. I'm a Shimano fisherman so your alright in my book. I do believe Diawa my have the edge in spinning reels. My first baitcaster was a Curado and 30+ years later I'm still throwing Curados. Reel technology in the last 20 years really has been amazing to follow.

Great job explaining. Very informative. Keep them videos coming 🔥

One other thing to prevent snags that isn't often mentioned is the type of trailer. Something like a Zako or Spunk Shad is quite pointed on the bottom. So they tip and fall over when they deflect on cover with traditional chatterbaits. Something with a wider, flat bottom like a creature bait largely prevents this. And that's another nice thing about the Jackall. Because of the "kick stands" on the bottom that prevent roll, you can go back to using things like the Zako in heavy cover without worry. Also, really great channel. The underwater footage when provided is particularly useful. Your detailed explanation WITH underwater video is about as good as it gets. More please!

Just found this channel. I'm loving the content...Keep them videos coming...

my 24 vandord had the line roller bearing noise issue too

$30?????? What

Superb..thank u

Gotta check some of these out! They look good! Love the in depth explanation.

Where can buy?

You lost me when you said the jackhammer doesn’t work in cold water. 💀

Now that the patent is ending hopefully Jackall brings these over to usdm

AMAZING video sir! Wow. The analytical breakdown of the design upgrades and how they relate to each respective companies business approach is fascinating, and as shown by you....undeniable. I never stopped to think about it, but when seen in the charts it was such an "ah ha!" moment of Daiwa rolling out new tech in the middle tier models. I had an original T3, albeit the lower T3 Ballistic. And, like many I was incredibly excited for the new T-Wing system. It was amazing and seemed so logical. But, like many, many others those T3's were highly prone to breakages (on mine....two spools failed via MagForce inductor seperation, as well as the hood mechanism). I have also had a critical failure on the original Lexa 100 (when it FIRST came out....perhaps the design was improved over its product life), and a clutch failure on my 1st generation (Silver) Daiwa Ryoga 1016. I have around 25 reels, mostly Daiwa and Shimano, but also Okuma, Lews, Quantum, and Tica....and those Daiwa's were the only ones to ever outright fail. However, my favorite reels are also my Daiwas, that being the 2008-2012 TD Zillion, and those 1st gen Ryoga's (1016 and 2020). I never owned a flagship low profile bait caster, and just recently I purchased the 2021 Antares DC. I have yet to use it, but I think it may skew my favorite category a bit....haha. To your point on reliability and longevity I am in lock-step. In my mind, I feel that a reel should essentially last a lifetime, and can even be handed down as long as regular maintenance is done. There is nothing that intrinsically ages and/or wears out aside from perhaps the drag washers depending on material. Bearings can be replaced if they are that far gone. But, realistically I believe can last decades with proper lubrication. Thank you so much for this video. Your knowledge, degree of homework you did, and ability to show and explain these metrics and ideas are absolutely TOP NOTCH. GREAT work!!! Just watched one other video of yours that was also excellent. Immediate subscription! :)

Glad I found your channel... I'd love to see your take on the best rod for a chatter bait !

Great channel and info !
