Heavy foundational knowledge dropped by Flip Pallot. What a gem! Thanks guys

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching.

Amazing comment by Flip at the end. I am a newer fly angler and wanted a streamer rod in 7 weight. Local fly shop had me sold on the Reddington Vice due to its fast action. I couldn't cast it worth a darn. Mad River lad told me to try the Ion Echo XL. My response was what I had been told, "Isn't that rod too slow for what I want?" I tried it and then promptly ordered it from Mad River outfitters. Love that rod. It's about what you're comfortable with, not solely what the market says.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching and glad we could help. We appreciate the support!

[@discoramen8109]

Brian, you and Flip are great ambassadors to the sport with your in dept reviews. Fly fishing is a sport where you are always learning something new. Please keep up the good work!

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for being here and appreciate the kind words.

[@OscarOverlanding]

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching.

[@zlm2032]

Great video! I found this to be really valuable information on the two TFO rods.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching.

[@gforegerry]

Brilliant, thank you. I learnt more in this 15mins re rods than most other videos 👍

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching.

[@JavierEchaiz]

I use both rods, and totally agree with you about how these great rods compare to each other! Great review... and as always, it's really a pleasure for me to see you both talking about fly fishing!

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks so much for being here.

[@johnnylightning1491]

Thanks guys, it looks like the Mangrove Coast is for me. Keep the good stuff coming guys.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching. MRO would be happy to send you one!

[@rustyshovelhomestead591]

perfect video.. I was actually trying to decide between these 2 rods for bass. Looks like the mangrove will be better suited for me.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching. Always feel free to contact the folks at the shop as well. They are always happy to give honest advice.

[@thomasdam8060]

Awesome video. I’m curious about the new tfo blitz. Will you be doing a review on that rod?

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Yes, we will be doing one with Blane in late August. Feel free to call the shop in the meantime if they can help.

[@whobeeme1]

Thanks for another great video. Where do you find the LK Legacy compare to those two rods? Just in between?

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching. Please contact the shop with your questions and they will be happy to help. You can e-mail them or call them.

[@chunkylover54]

I have the nxt combo with slower action and it has helped me become a better caster. Looking to upgrade next season but having a hard time picking my next rod

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Feel free to call the folks at the shop. They will be happy to help. That’s what they do!!!

[@bi7235]

14:25 best advice.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Appreciate you being here.

[@kansasscout4322]

I like the Mangrove rod. The Axiom as well. Good casting rods.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching.

[@rudyruiz9521]

First another fantastic video. I think anyone can cast any fly rod and get to be proficent with it. That doesn't mean every rod can carry 30-40ft of head. But, I can't help but think of something I heard. Beware of the guy with 1 gun vs the man with many. It is a safer bet the guy with 1 gun knows how to use it and knows everything about it. The point being, get good with 1 fly rod.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching and pretty much spot on!

[@warrenhorne6432]

A few years the Man behind Echo Fly Rods did a Show an Tell of his Echo Rods on a Fishing Trip to New Zealand and Australia said most Fly Fishing people are fishing with the Wrong Fly Rod.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching.

[@FrameRot]

I want his hat.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Stay tuned! Flip Pallot signature hats are on the way.

[@ronaldfisher222]

Medium Fast works well for me

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching.

[@lambertsaldi1550]

Great Review and great video Brian 👍👍 Flip is a Gem of a person 👍
Good Luck too all on the water 🎏

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Thanks for watching. Flip is truly a treasure.

[@Blipp619]

Both really solid rods in their own rights. "Two of the best rods on the market today". Oof, maaaaaajor cold take.

[@Madriveroutfitters]

Agreed. Thanks for watching.

[@rudyruiz9521]

I agree but it doesnt work for me. I feel mote comfortable hitting my target throwing bigger loops. Especially with bigger flys. I don't trout fish much these days and big flies for bass who arent picky it doesnt matter too much how horrible the fly smacks down. B
