    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

  • @ArroyoGuitars
    @ArroyoGuitars ปีที่แล้ว +1

    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.

  • @the.icefisher
    @the.icefisher ปีที่แล้ว +1

    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

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

  • @mattybergz3923
    @mattybergz3923 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    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!

  • @user-ss3ft1cl3f
    @user-ss3ft1cl3f ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Have done all my muskie work with standard 10 and 12 wt saltwater rods. Would be fun to play with that toy!

  • @richardwhite9682
    @richardwhite9682 ปีที่แล้ว +1

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

  • @knivesnutz

  • @greg7132

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

  • @sliflyfishing
    @sliflyfishing ปีที่แล้ว +2

    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.

  • @kimstriker
    @kimstriker ปีที่แล้ว +1

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

  • @jalicino4

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

  • @chromeslayer5269
    @chromeslayer5269 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    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.

  • @brookesage3659
    @brookesage3659 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    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.

  • @AustinKornutz
    @AustinKornutz ปีที่แล้ว +1

    10wt works awfully well with a 12” fly!
    Good size for a lot of different uses!

  • @Maine_Flyfish
    @Maine_Flyfish ปีที่แล้ว +2

    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

  • @jordanduffy5642
    @jordanduffy5642 ปีที่แล้ว +1

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

  • @jonpaulson7870
    @jonpaulson7870 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    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.

  • @TheWVgoodguy22
    @TheWVgoodguy22 ปีที่แล้ว

    A very thorough review of what looks like an excellent all around Big Fly chucking rod. I never expect a Gunnar video to be less than 30 minutes long so 38 minutes works.
    I have TFO 10 weight rod that has a red Winn golf grip on it (can’t remember the name but I believe it starts with V), I got it back in 2014-15, back in the BVK, Predator rod days from TFO. I like it but I have always wanted to either build or buy a 10-11 weight with the longer butt section for the reasons that you mentioned. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and showing how it can handle a variety of line weights and fly sizes. 😎🎣

  • @isaacfallows6846
    @isaacfallows6846 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    This is brilliant to see such a fantastic in depth review would love to see more like this. The predator rods don’t get no where near as much hype and reviews as the trout rods, so this is refreshing to see and very helpful
    Keep it up Gunnar and well done to whoever is lucky enough to win this awesome rod (I would also love to own it 😉) 👍
    Tight lines 🎣🎣🎣🎣

  • @ADKMuskyFoolonFly63
    @ADKMuskyFoolonFly63 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    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

    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

    Great review. Very in-depth and thorough. I have never owned a TFO rod but would be willing to have this one to use. Thanks for the video and a chance to win this rod. Thanks,TFO,for providing the new rod.

  • @rkskdevildog1218
    @rkskdevildog1218 ปีที่แล้ว

    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.

    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.

    Great rod review…I’ve been fishing a TFO TiCrX 9wt for salt/striper duty, overlined with an outbound short and it’s been a very functional and reliable rod over the years.

  • @fisher-of-men1547
    @fisher-of-men1547 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    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 !

    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.

    I’ve been a TFO fan for so long, I feel like you just can’t go wrong with any of their rods! And they still have the best warranty while other much more expensive brands are gutting theirs. Thanks for taking the time and effort to do such an informative review. Would love to add one of these to my quiver :)

  • @therivergoat
    @therivergoat ปีที่แล้ว
