[@paulbridgers3820]

Great indepth rod review, I've been looking at getting this rod for a while. Thanks for sharing and congratulations to the winner. And thanks to T F O for donating this rod for a giveaway.

[@chaz0427]

What’s up Gunnar this review is awesome. I’ve been on the fence about buying this particular rod. Now I’m not. If I don’t win the giveaway I’m buying it on Monday. Thanks man for all your contributions to this crazy world of fly fishing.

[@googoobird]

Well that certainly helps clear up some questions about this fly rod. Thanks

[@NDFlyFisher]

Great review! I have a number of TFO rods including a 10 wt Esox. If I win this rod it will be part of my annual fall musky trip to MN. If I don’t win, I’m going to purchase this rod. Thanks Gunnar and thanks TFO.

[@jeffreysullivan8140]

Awesome rod review, love to win that rod! Big fan of TFO. Thanks Gunnar

[@niamagpie]

Wow, the BC Big Fly rod Rock!

[@FlyFishingMadeEasy]

I like your very comprehensive testing review.

[@user-yn2dj8bf9t]

Gunner, great review. Could not be more thorough.

[@JohnLauber]

Probably the most thorough rod review I've ever watched. Thank you.

[@mattybergz3923]

It’s so cool to see someone give such an in depth review of a product, usually reviews are shallow and no very informative, thanks for the review and giveaway man!

[@Dynamic.Fishing]

Great review, was seriously considering this Rod.

[@johngrapnel5713]

Good job Gunnar on the TFO review!

[@ArroyoGuitars]

Thank you Gunnar, I have been looking at this rod, my favorite rod right now is the Echo Badass Glass rod as it loads so deeply.

[@jimmyt5487]

looks like a killer big bug stick. another great video.

[@greg7132]

That was so much more of a review than most other folks on KZbin give, thanks for the great video

[@jeffprice4611]

Great review!!! Seeing the rod put through multiple application and lines was really helpful.

[@sliflyfishing]

I love TFO rods! Great rods for the price, great warranty program. That's why I run all TFO rods in my boat, had a client break 2 rods on a trip, not at all the rods fault, and had the replacement parts within 4 days.

[@joeanthony2312]

Appreciate the review. I finally been able to get a tiger muskie using your videos.

[@jalicino4]

Great in-depth test and explanation of something I’ve been looking at for a while now- looking forward to more of these.

[@woodsman1488]

Fantastic review, thank you for all the details! Just ordered one!

[@stevedraper6581]

Gunnar, thank you for this review I have been considering a Pike/Musky rod and the TFO is on my short list. There are no fly shops near me so I have to rely on reviews and luck when I purchase rods. You have a very informative channel and you are such a good host. Keep up the great work and thank you again for teaming up with TFO for this review.

[@maxiclarkson]

You just confirmed my finding about the TFO. Great work on the review!

[@therealpapparich]

This is one of the rod I am interested in, and I'm glad you are able to do some testing on it and share your finding with us.

[@jakejaket]

Been curious about this rod. Thank you for putting this review together. Pending a win I will have to get one for myself.

[@the.icefisher]

Great to see your in-depth review of the TFO BC 10 Wt Big Fly rod…it’s one I have been looking at for chasing big Northern Pike here in Canada and you put it through quite the workout, much more than any of us could to to try the rod…thank you Gunnar and thank you TFO for designing this rod. Only this that would have improved your review would have been a musky taking one of your flies so we could have seen how well the rod works in fighting big fish. Tight lines

[@johannesniederberger1176]

Great video. Appreciate the comparison or grain weights, very helpful insight.

[@hunterrichmond6101]

Sounds like someone will be getting a great rod! Thanks for the review.

[@Maine_Flyfish]

Straight forward honest review throwing the same size flies so gives confidence.. their sealed reel has been strong in the salt with little maintenance. Well done

[@DancesWithFlies]

Top shelf review of a top shelf fly rod. Really enjoyed the in depth review/discussion/demos Gunnar. Thanks for another great video.

[@billsimmons7810]

Nice review I fished the St. Louis river for the first time this year with a fly rod. What a blast. Still trying to find my first musky though!!

[@limpehuhlui]

Thank you for the show and tell testing review. Looks like a great rod for many years to come.

[@megaconda07]

I've got both the 8 and 10 wt and they're wonderful rods. Really enjoy mine.

[@barnman73]

Can't believe I enjoyed a rod review this much. What an amazing setting for this. Broke my left arm and had major rotator cuff repair...hope to be able to fish by spring. Reviewing your mechanics and strength videos again. Thanks Gunnar

[@oldie4210]

Great review of this TFO 10 weight Big Fly rod. I have been pondering on getting new rod for our Northern Coho. Gunnar really nailed the backdrop for the review, a row of rocks right out in the middle, heck if this is close by, what a great place to practice.

[@jordanduffy5642]

Extremely thorough review. In the market for a big game rod, for the price point it seems like a serious contender!

[@michelahlinwigardt3758]

Great content as always! I have been looking at that rod for a while, might have to buy it now.

[@the_flies_that_bind]

I learn so much from you in every one of your videos. I love the format and details of this rod review and can’t wait to see more!

[@wllpikeman]

Gunnar, great review. Love your energy and the way you look at big fly fishing with your designs and info you provide. Keep hammering!

[@chromeslayer5269]

I have the 8wt that I use for smallmouth and creek pike and I absolutely love it. I have been sitting with a 10wt in my shopping cart for months waiting for the funds to avail themselves.... your review is absolutely spot on!! Thanks for that.... I'd like to see more of these.

[@knivesnutz]

That is a mighty fine fly rod! Love the way it handled big flies!

[@JDLatta]

Great review! I’ve had my eye on that rod for awhile this definitely will help make a decision.

[@wapitiman]

Well put together and informative. Thanks for all your videos, keep it up.

[@brookefishing]

This thing looks so sick! Ive been fishing smallmouth and pike on the fly all season with my 8wt. Can't wait to try tying and casting some huge flies like that for musky.

[@mikeking453]

Love your Channel you make fly casting look so easy

[@bigmike808]

Thanks for the great review! I’ve been a subscriber for years and love your tying videos. Your explanations on patterns and techniques are easy to follow. Your Rod review was great , you covered everything. Thanks !

[@thomaswetherington6683]

I have an 8wt and 10wt in this series and absolutely love it. Rarely do I ever feel fatigued when casting. Hope someone else gets to win and they get to enjoy this rod. TFO is the best!

[@richardwhite9682]

Thank you for the detailed review. I can see this as a great Striper and Bluefish rod. Keep the reviews coming.

[@seanreedy3828]

Love tfo rods! I have a Lefty Kreh Pro Series 2 and it’s my current favorite rod!

[@gautim4u]

I love how this rod shoot out line almost effortlessly.

[@kevinbachus5887]

Have heard many good things about TFO. Glad to see this review as I am in the market for a rod that will pitch these kind of giant flies. Never tried the backhand cast. will have to try. Thanks for the excellent review..

[@anthonycole2672]

Awesome review. Thanks for all the great information 🤛🤛🤛

[@GolferA247]

We’re not worthy! You’re the man, Gunnar! 🤘🏻

[@jonpaulson7870]

Great overview of this rod, doing the right tests to show whether the rod will work for the typical applications.The rod appears to have passed the test.

[@jasonesveld9949]

Fantastic breakdown of modern rods and how they interact with modern streamer lines. Really appreciate your detailed walk-through on this, awesome content as always!

[@michaelmeans-e2w]

That is a bad ass rod for that price, that would be a great salt water rod, you do an awesome job with your reviews! Thanks man!!

[@rkskdevildog1218]

One thing I have always loved about your videos is your ability to articulate why you like certain things, or why certain things work better for you. This was no different, and I appreciate that! I’ve been eyeing the BC Big Fly for a while, so it may just be time to pull the trigger and add one to my collection.

[@bobsweeney1635]

Fantastic review!!!

[@jamesdavid1714]

What an in depth review! Keep it up I'm sure more companies will want you to review their gear

[@ObnoxiousEmu]

Super excited for this, I've been eyeing the Axiom 2 and now the Big Fly comes in.

[@FlyFishinFyl]

As always, Thanks for the mechanical-minded version of Fly fishing equipment and techniques!

[@billkeenum1303]

I've been looking into getting a 10wt, after one of the most indepth, quality, nonbiased rod reviews I have ever seen (thank you!!), the TFO will be on my list to cast & consider. Thanks for a quality review!!! Blessings!

[@ADKMuskyFoolonFly63]

Wow another great lesson from Gunnar. More than a rod review, this video is loaded with many pearls on how to use this rod in a variety of situations. The beauty of this rod is versatility with a wide range of use with a variety of modern streamer lines for a variety of predators. Enormous value in this rod for the price. Big bang for the buck. As always, thank you Gunnar for sharing your wisdom and expertise. I appreciate more often the pearls of wisdom than the product info itself. 37:42

[@jakefinn7905]

Well done, enjoyed the review. I'm looking forward to casting the rod with the extended fighting butt for tarpon, snook, & peacocks in my neck of the woods. TFO is a proven winner over the years.

[@pogeegitz]

Always been a big fan of TFO, and glad that this comes with a tube. I've had a few of their trout rods, and every one came with a sock but no tube. Honestly, that's been my only complaint. And I do know how comments and replies work! (Unless it's obviously a scammer, that's been going around lately)

[@stephenhowell1214]

Just started fly fishing about 2 years ago. Been looking to get a Bigger rod This Looks like a very nice rod. And Brammer, very nice review. Good luck to Whoever wins this.

[@gioelelapo7588]

Looks like a great Rod, currently i am looking for a used older model. Winning this One would be sweet. Aniway i love how you Explore all the aspects of the Rods👌

[@89Ludwigs]

Awesome review. You're making me want to buy another fly rod. I bought a 9 weight TFO about 2 years ago, and I was very impressed with it. It throws big flies just as easily or better than my 10 weights. It was the 9 ft., 9 wt. "Lefty Kreh Professional". It's a 4 piece rod. I wasn't sure if I would like a 4 piece rod being this is the first 4 piece rod I ever owned, but there were no negative issues with it. I used it with several different lines, and it handled very nicely. I understand now why so many guys rave about the TFO rods. Buying that rod made me a believer in TFO. I have a St. Croix Legend Ultra 10 weight that I bought used on Ebay. I have no complaints about the St. Croix, It's a nice rod. I don't really have anything to compare it to other than a 10 weight Eagle Claw fiberglass rod that was my first 10 weight rod. The Eagle Claw was cheap on Ebay used, and it got me in the game. It's heavy and a chore to cast, but it can get the job done. It gives me an alternate rod that I can rig differently, so I guess it does serve a purpose. I bought a kayak last year, and have been doing some serious musky fishing. I've been watching your tying videos and have been tossing big stuff. I'm learning through experience what rod, line, fly combinations seem to go together well. You have to spend time on the water experimenting with different things. Casting the big stuff for muskies is way different than trout fishing. This is a whole new ball game for sure. I had a couple follows from nice fish last year. I'm still after my first fly rod musky though. Thanks for a great review, you really covered all the bases of what fly casters want in a rod.

[@joeflow777]

Nice to know that there is some nice rod from TFO.

[@rabbithole_flies]

bring it on Gunnar! honesty is the best policy!

[@fisher-of-men1547]

Thanks again for sharing your thoughts on this rod & putting it thru some awesome casts. I hope whomever wins will enjoy this rod for years to come. I've never used a rod of this strength before ( 8 wt switch rod is the strongest I own ) , but it looks like it sure would be fun to try & learn to fish for bigger game. Thank you ! David Fisher-of-Men Fly Tying Ada, Michigan

[@samkidder13]

I actually have one in my cart right now, and another rod. Been trying to decide and this video was EXACTLY what I needed to make the decision. You did an incredible job with this. I’m Gonna order one up. And maybe get lucky enough to have a second one on hand. Thank you so much for this!!

[@dooza1738]

That's what i call a great review. Over half an hour going deep in details. 👍🏻 Love your content.

[@NoahKidder]

Awesome review!

[@chadparsons1476]

Great review. Super informative

[@jimsmith1242]

Great review. I’ve been eyeballing this rod for a while

[@hop2it783]

I have been adding TFO rods to my arsenal the last few years. Very impressed

[@brettpeterson8690]

Rod seems like it casts smoothly. Got my hands on one to test last week and it was great!

[@kimstriker]

Wow, that sounds like an amazing fly rod. Definitely interested in trying it out for myself.

[@camilium]

Watching your cast was worth the time. Have you reviewed the Echo Streamer X?

[@sarah.sconnie]

Another great review Gunnar! Thanks!

[@easttnflyfreak2870]

I love that TFO stands behind what they sell unlike most .Thanks for the review !!!

[@tmilam454]

Thanks for the review Gunnar! Looks like a sweet rod

[@justinharbin1654]

Just want to give my thanks as well. Watching your videos more than I'd like to admit to really learn your mechanics has really improved my experience on the water more than I could even express in this comment. I was the guy over powering everything and probably on my way to eventually hurting myself. You should honestly be a fly casting teacher. The review was top notch more detailed than any I've seen in the past. Keep the content coming man it is awesome and much appreciated.

[@evanhogan9219]

Great review Gunnar! Thanks for sharing the scoop on this one!

[@Collinpetry4726]

Thank you for going so in-depth with this review

[@ttthebear45]

Great review. Thanks

[@follansb]

Great detailed rod review. Love the casting action on the BC Big flies. They sling the big stuff without issues for me. Cannot speak highly enough about the TFO warranty and customer service. Look forward to your next video! Thanks

[@geoffroznak7019]

Solid, comprehensive review, and an enjoyable video, as always. Thanks for taking the time for this.

[@superguppyme]

Never thought I like an extra fast action fly rod too, but I have to trust your assessment.

[@flyguycruwear]

I am feeling you bro, the BC Big Fly rod really speak to me.

[@martymcvey8909]

Great review Gunnar. Really appreciated your take on how to do a rod review!!

[@No_mans_flies]

I just picked up a 10wt of these for big barramundi down here in Australia. Thanks for such a great review, particularly going through the different grains. Cheers mate 👍

[@stevenhager6685]

Excellent rod review, Gunnar! Comparison of line weights followed by casting large flies was very enlightening. Thank you!

[@johnblahnik5084]

Like the way you dissected the fast action vs. fly lines tested. Would love to see some 9wt reviews as I am in my 60s with shoulder injury. I find 9wts less taxing to cast when floating. Like a payload, or a Scott wave?

[@torsadespointes]

Great review! A TFO-love my 8 wt. I am super happy to see TFO gets some props. Thank you.

[@Flyfishindog]

Can't wait for the rest of the reviews, especially the blue halo! Heavy glass sounds fun. I have the 8wt big fly and I love it for bass

[@davidrodrigue527]

Again and always Gunnar, thank you. Every video you’ve made has been an honest, no-nonsense, educated and extremely useful wealth of information that you generously share. The effort you clearly invest in all of it, and the sincerity of it, does not go unnoticed or unappreciated. You certainly do bring an immense amount of information and experience to a community that has the privilege of learning from it freely. With such a detailed and complete review, never quite saw one that good before, it’s hard to not feel extremely confident about wanting and needing that rod. I have never commented on a video before, anywhere. You’ve just made me do it for the first time, and my motivation was to thank you. So thank you :)
