@mychaelmitchell4632 we generally ordered ours with smart tabs when I was a dealer but I like the Bennett better

@LostAngler you talking about nauticos smart tabs

@svrfx3573 I guess so I 🤣. It's so that you can replace the hub of it goes out on the road

@@LostAngler lol yeah I’ve watched another video where you said that.

@ADKMuskyFoolonFly63 glad you asked. For me the new TFO Solution has blown me away. I'm doing a video for that rod soon and I'm going to do a variety of flies and test how well and how accurately it places those flies. I've been using it for a few months and it's out performing my $1k rods!

I have some nice $1000 rods too but personally won’t pay $1000 for a rod. Bought many great rods used for much less. TFO hits the sweet spot of great quality for good price. Looking forward to your review. Does it have as much backbone as Axiom II? Does it cast the variety of bass streamers as well as axiom II??

@ADKMuskyFoolonFly63 it does! But what I really like about it is that there are no dead spots in the cast. So it handles the line as well at 20ft as it does at 40 ft, and it does at 60ft. But this rod has no trouble dumping all of the line off the reel. It's a Dynamite stick that sets the bar for any rod made over seas.

@@LostAngler thank you so much for all your feedback. One other question-have you been able to compare it to the Blitz?? and how do they compare if you did?

@ADKMuskyFoolonFly63 I am a huge fan of the Blitz and I used it all last fall for Redfish. What I'll say is that the solution is a nicer rod, not taking anything away from the Blitz. But that makes since as it does cost more. The Solution bends deeper into the blank and that to me makes it a better streamer rod. The Blitz is very very fast has more of a distance game mindset. That's a great thing in Saltwater where I'm trying to be as accurate as possible at a further distance while sight fishing. So different environments in mind in the making. But I wouldn't hesitate to use the Solution in the Saltwater or for Redfish and if you're fishing in stained water where you're having to present a bigger fly closer to the boat, you might prefer the solution. I don't think you'll be disappointed in either one. There's not a big price jump in the rods so I suggest casting both.

@@WildAtlanticOceanPictures thank you sir!

@TheDbrewer31 basically it's a flat spot on the bottom of the hull to lift as much of the hull out of the water as possible

@@LostAngler thanks. We have a 21.7 foot deck boat with little V at the bow. Would these tabs work well for a boat like that? It has a 5.7 liter V8.

@TheDbrewer31 most likely they would be pretty helpful

@@scottmichael3745 thank you sir!

@csg35 that video is a few years old. You'd have to check with a current Gheenoe dealer

@csg35 thank you sir!

@@franciscogutierrez6920 so I don't think your boat has a pad. I might suggest either smart tabs or just a hydrofoil

@@LostAngler yeah it feels as im popping a wheely forever.

@@franciscogutierrez6920 gotcha, what size engine do you have?

​@franciscogutierrez6920 me to , just bought sea pro 180cc 115 mercury 4 stroke. Bow very high on hole shot. Unsafe . I bought a se400 hydrofoil but haven't installed yet. Trying to understand what's best . Need help deciding also . Thanks

@barrymcgee3583 that hydro foil should fix it just fine. Both the tabs and foils do the same thing but the tabs also help the boat stay level from port to starboard

Thanks so much!

Well they did a ton of testing in New Jersey for striped bass. Check out the Winston Feild Notes on their KZbin Channel and they really go in depth on it.

I prefer a small boat to fish like a big boat so I guess my preference goes to stick steering. It's there while you're running, but as soon as you kill the engine there's nothing to walk around or move out of the way. And stick steering can be positioned so the driver is up front. It helps with hole shot and getting up on plane fast vs bury the ass end deeper in the water. Forward seating is ALWAYS better for running solo. Always.

Thank you sir!
