    This video is about highlighting a brand.
    Folks noting "not shimano"....oh well.
    Go back far enough and you see falcon rods with florida reels.
    Im listening more to the specs: lengths, powers, action, line and lure weights.
    Bonus, we get to see details on the fritzgerald rods.
    Thanks, captain CA.

    Please have Fitzgerald use cork on new models or at least having the option of cork on their most popular models! 🙏
    Absolutely love the feel of most of their rods but the EVA is an absolute killer aesthetically and feels/looks really cheap.
    I know I’m definitely not alone with this opinion!

  • @RyanSmith-fb8rf
    @RyanSmith-fb8rf 5 месяцев назад

    I like the Fitzgerald rods but they seem to have smaller almost micro guides on the casting rods so it’s tough running braid to leader. I mainly use casting rods and like the Shimano Teramar XX SE and the Expride for bass.

    I can't say enough good things about my Aqua Dream, 7' 2" medium. I have it paired up with a Quantum Smoke 25 inshore and it's perfect for our SE NC fishery.

    • @Quazo594
      @Quazo594 6 месяцев назад +1

      How do you like the smoke? I have always looked at that reel and never bought one.

    • @flatsclasscharters
      @flatsclasscharters 6 месяцев назад +1

      Yes the Aqua Dream Medium / Fast blank is great for Mirrodines and small to mid topwaters

    • @IcecoldDan26
      @IcecoldDan26 6 месяцев назад +1

      I'm very pleased with the Smoke. It's very light, fast, holds plenty of line (100 yards 12 lbs mono backing with 150 yards of 10 lbs Suffix 832), with plenty of silky smooth drag. Not to mention how good it looks, especially with the colors on the Aqua Dream. It's my first Quantum and I couldn't be more pleased.

    • @IcecoldDan26
      @IcecoldDan26 6 месяцев назад +1

      My only complaint would be the handle. I wish it was a little bigger, and I haven't been able to find a suitable replacement yet.

    Ive been lookin at the aquafins ned rod and the zodius. Which one do you prefer after using them both?

    • @flatsclasscharters
      @flatsclasscharters 6 месяцев назад +1

      Good question they both have similar actions but the Zodius offers casting models. The Aqua Fin however has all 316 stainless guides and truly holds better for the inshore anglers

    • @junior_MCXI79
      @junior_MCXI79 6 месяцев назад

      @flatsclasscharters sounds perfect. I was leaning more towards the Aquafins based on price and Fitzgerald being not so "corporate". Thanks for the response CA. Loving the daily videos

    I'm interested in trying these, but dislike how the vast majority of his casting rods I've looked at are 7' or more. Would be great to get some 6'9" or 6'10"s in there!

      @@fitzgeraldfishing I'm somewhat particular about my rods - I strongly prefer cork and won't buy a rod that doesn't have a hood on the locking nut. Kind of ridiculous I know but exposed threads really bother me. So for your rods, the all purpose series are the only ones I'd really look at

      @@jnorman975 I’d definitely check out the Aqua Dream model.
      I’m very picky as well and absolutely hate eva foam and a cheap looking real seat that looks super tacky with threads showing.
      It has cork and the real seat locking leaves no threads. There is some eva but I don’t notice it when fishing and it still looks very sharp.
      I mostly use Bull Bay rods but ever since I got an Aqua Dream, it is one of the first rods I grab and never leave it at home when fishing from my skiff

Appreciate the tactful question my friend!
