I'm pretty much done with Chain Fishing in X 'cause I already got what I wanted ( a horsea at 11 and a beautiful red Clauncher at 162- not joking.), but I didn't give the poke radar a try yet.
Is it as useful/easy as it was in gen 4? One thing that worries me is that the shiny patch anumation, at least in the youtube videos I've seen, is almost impossible to see :O is it really that subtle or do I have to blame the quality of the videos??

This can actually be tested easily. Since your current record is 51, just do 52 chain using a rod, then switch to another rod, and make another 3 chain, then visit the fisherman, and check if your chain becomes 52 or 55. If switching rod does break the chain, then your new record should be only 52.
I would have tested it if it wasn't because my record is now over 120.

No need for a test here as we already know the answer. Switching rods does not break a chain. And regarding the capture of a shiny, several members (including myself) have found that it breaks your chain just like catching a normal Pokemon.
Both of mine were with the good rod, so no
In other news, got a shiny horsea on a chain of 7... it was a mixed chain, apparently reeling in different pokemon does not matter. I've also noticed that in both of my successful chains, I was running from battle.
Recently someone told me that they have been getting shiny pokemon from the FS, usually after about 1 hour in the same one... I tried it with no luck, but I was also checking some other things out and here is what I found:
chaining (staying in the same FS and battling many many pokemon) gradually increases the number of max IV's you get. I got up to 3 max IVs after about 30 minutes of slaughter (or around 40 pokemon).
trading or battling breaks the chain and reset the max number of iv's you get back down to 2.
turning off the 3ds breaks the chain and resets the max number of iv's you get back down to 2.
I do not know if running or saving resets the chain, and I wonder if the other person needs to be on-line when you enter to get the shiny rate boost or not.

I found 3 shinies in one day through chain fishing. It's ashame there aren't too many pokemon you can catch through chain fishing...

So yeah, I'm kinda dissapointed with this chain fishing addition. It makes it way to easy to get shinies, it's gamebreaking. At least the poké-radar adds some kind of challenge, but fishing is just mindless a-clicking. Got 2 magikarps and 2 poliwhirls through it, and got bored.
Now trying my hand on radaring for the first time since D/P. I'm kinda rusty but it's going pretty well, just got my 38 Skiddo chain broken though. Haven't heard the music everyone keeps talking about yet though.

For what it's worth my Corsola took me a chain of 139, and it's IV's are around 3/25/3/14/23/11. Nothing special there.

It can be a real pain (I'm only ever getting up to about 12), but keep at it. I'm told that, eventually, something clicks and you just start doing it right without trying.
