Virtually any natural bait works well with this rig for targeting various big gamefish
So perhaps my drag issues with the Tyro were something of a freak occurrence
Fishing rods are like anything else and you can go to all extremes when buying a rod and you can quickly spend a LOT of money
The bed rug is from Ford, you can order it online and they ship it to your dealer of choice, if Im not mistaken I waited until they had 20% off online and I think I paid about $200 I thought about a few different options for mounting, I think you could probably bolt it in but why would you want to, the option of taking it out in less than 5 minutes and storing away was my goal, the straps make it super strong, if you want it stronger you can use a 2x6 instead of 5/4 x 6 I will include a link to ford.com where I bought bed rug its awesome had one in my 08 f-150 for 16 years never regretted it, indestructible and easy on the knees, if you buy it at the right time they offer 20&25% discount often its about $240 less the discount and they ship it to any ford dealer for free, purchased online, I think I paid about $200 it installs with included Velcro strips, just a hint lay it in the sun with a couple of weights at each end, it comes rolled up in a box, good luck enjoy here is the link below
