Barde is spot on. The weight difference is one piece of empirical data that can’t be refuted.

I agree completely. Day 2 is much more interesting to watch.

I’ve been on the fence about this on a competitive level. I love technology if used as a tool, but it shouldn’t be a crutch, ESPECIALLY when peoples livelihood is at stake. I like how MLF has dipped their toe in the water with 1/2 usage for qualifying day it’s allowed. I do think it’s time to go 100% one way or another. If I had a voice, I would look at how it has changed the industry as a whole since being implemented. From a fan perspective I personally like watching skill sets with decisions about bait selection and target locations be the deciding factor versus who can view a digital display better. I’d also rather see other sponsors take up the slack, kick more sponsorship dollars and remove the funding from the “scope” companies out of the business decision for the allowable usage of FFS. Realizing the end result is I have to pay a little more for products from a consumption level when supporting the industry. In Summary: Don’t let it be a funding decision on whether to allow it or not.

Congrats on the milestone!

You won’t have that boat after next week. “Wink”. Go do your thang tomorrow bro.

Look at that big ole smile!

Congratulations guys. Middle of the pack is nothing to sneeze at. It’s an accomplishment!

Nice!

Just started doing socials as a soft launch. Both YouTube and IG are ZFFishing

Will you’ll find there isn’t a standard. Every manufacturer has their ‘definition’. A GLoomis will feel completely different than a Shimano or Fitzgerald. Brian Barde , being a rod builder can get more specific. In the end, I prefer a rod that acts as a shock absorber between me and the fish.
