There’s no question John Cox and Seth Feider are two of bass fishing’s most accomplished pros, and they’re also among the sport’s most entertaining and authentic characters. Each has their own highly relatable style, but both offer a genuine connectivity that led them to join Vexus® Boats recently.
“Cox and Feider have flirted with the idea of running our boats for quite some time, but much like life, it’s all about timing, and now’s the time in our relatively young company’s history to make them a part of the Vexus family,” says Vexus leader Keith Daffron.
“Our employees here in Flippin, Arkansas, as well as our dealers around the country, are pretty fired up about this news. But I promise you, if John and Seth weren’t the genuinely good family men they are, this would never work,” adds Daffron. “They also exhibit a sincere appreciation for the premium quality of our boats and have great relationships with our dealers, which is critical.”
Feider will run the new sleek-profile VXs20 fiberglass Vexus and has a long-standing friendship with In Tune Marine of Central Minnesota. Cox, who’s never met a stranger, shares a longtime relationship with Clark Marine in Tennessee as well as dealers in his home state of Florida. He will run the new 250-hp rated AVX2100 aluminum boat to chase shallow bass, but don’t be surprised if you also see him gathering redfish and gators throughout the Sunshine State from an aluminum center console Vexus ACX2210.
“People are going to laugh when they read this, but I literally had a tear in my eye the first time I ran an aluminum Vexus for a test lap on Bull Shoals Lake. I was so grateful for the smooth ride, I got emotional,” grins Cox. “I kept expecting it would ‘bunny hop’ at slower speeds like most boats, but it never did. This boat is bad to the bone!”
Feider doesn’t apologize for his excitement about running a Vexus, either. “The hull design Randy Hopper and his crew engineered, along with the AirWave® suspension seats, make it the smoothest riding bass boat on the planet. When you’re trying to compete at places notorious for rough water like Lake Ontario, Okeechobee, and Lake Saint Clair, that’s a level of comfort that’s tough to put into words,” says Feider.
Like tournament anglers of all ages and species preferences who fish from a Vexus boat, Cox and Feider will also be eligible to win cash bonuses and heritage-rich commemorative belt buckles for their trophy cases through the Vexus REV Rewards™ program.
