I heard it waa decent but the ropes have to be changed out, the bridge and the tether. So by the time u do that your better off buying a used tethrd, or latitude or a Trophyline covert lite.
@@scottglew9641 maybe one day!! Send me a message on Facebook or Instagram, I will have a couple saddles for sale soon for a good price. In near perfect shape.
Which do you like better, EDP or the Predator? I have the Predator XL and the EDP. I just got the Tethrd One gen 2 sticks so I’m tempted to get the Predator to have a super light setup.
Oh man, I mean the e.d.p is wayyy more solid feeling undery feet. The predator is just so fricken light it makes me wanna take it and hunt off it. How much do u weigh? Id say if your under $250 go with the predator.
@@MichiganGreatOutdoors, thanks! I like how solid the EDP is and how well it bites the tree. The Predator XL I like how you can angle the platform more but it doesn’t bite into the tree like the EDP. It’s real tempting 😂 but I’m not sure if 9 ounces or so is worth the price. I definitely don’t want to get rid of the EDP for it though.
I like the fix better, just feels better quality. Im 36 years old and prefer to invest my hard earned money on something that would last a lifetime. Im not so sure the predator would last me forever, at my weight.
This is definitely helpful because I’m scraping 250 but wanted a smaller platform to pair with a ring of steps. Thank you!
Any time
I’m 225-250 and have been using a Predator XL for two years. It works great. The only time I’ve had problems have usually been my fault.
Its a solid option for sure!
Jared "Ginger Ninja" sucked me in to buying one as well.
Yeah lol his video was real good. I thought the traction was super impressive.
I got my hands on the carbon fiber one at a trade show. Can’t wait for that to come out later this summer. Same weight larger size.
Man, I wonder how much that boy is gonna cost???
I would guess $300
@@will3879 yeah or $350 😮
wonder if they will ever come out with it at this point lol
#1 platform no question
Its a solid one for sure, its more than I expected it to be honestly. I was proved wrong forsure!!
First heck yea !!!
Haha 👊
I know its been a year on this video but are you using the regular saddle or the xl saddle
I run a XL saddle. 38" waist
If you had to pick between the predator gen 3 vs the Edp for run and gun public land what are you going with?
Edp, I feel like the edp is built better. Its a little heavier but cams better and is more solid. IMO.
@@MichiganGreatOutdoors thank you!!!
Whats your thoughts on the hawk saddle for hunters on a budget

@@MichiganGreatOutdoors thank you hope to see at big sky TAC

Truth be told the trophy line mission is the best platform out there
man thats a good one! Ive never tried that one but I have used the e.d.p quite a bit. I think the mission should be one that I try out soon.
Ginger fella haha. I have this platform. I like it.
The ginger ninja!! Hahaha, its a solid platform. I was impressed with it.
3:23 "You're never gonna do this in a hunting situation."
Damn right I am. 360 or bust. And if the platform can't take it...... it's a bad platform.
I get it, I just probably would stand and turn around. I think its less risky.
Polack outdoors?
Yes thats me. 💯

@@kyledobson1607 id agree with that! Probably just stick with the e.d.p
What about the predator vs the fix?
treehopper platform with OCB strap
Im gonna look into it, thanks
Money aside. Fix or predator?
I like the fix better, just feels better quality. Im 36 years old and prefer to invest my hard earned money on something that would last a lifetime. Im not so sure the predator would last me forever, at my weight.
@@MichiganGreatOutdoors thats where I'm at. I'm tired if buying and trying everything
It flex’s with me at 190.
@tylernegron4131 yeah, cast isn't supposed to flex lol
