Which platform would u choose and why..... Seeker..mission. onyx. Or predator xl.... Opinions. Cons. Pros....Thanks.
Stop with the nonsense, we all know Toyota is the best!All just personal preference. Like asking which truck is best - Chevy, dodge, ford, Toyota. All are essentially the same and function to keep you in the air. Beyond that it’s just dealers choice. Won’t be a clear “winner” or obvious choice. One guys first choice will be another guys last choice.
Yeah it’s really not even up for debate.Stop with the nonsense, we all know Toyota is the best!
My first platform was the predator xl. I soon bought a secondhand predator to downsize and to pack a little easier. I still have and use the regular predator. It just works, fits inside a small backpack or straps to the outside of a bag pretty easily. I can tell you I plan to sell the XL but wouldn't consider parting ways with the regular predator. Those are the only two platforms I have experience with that you asked about.
I have the seeker mini and I find that I don't lean on the angle that much ( I sit a majority of the time) but it is a nice change up from leaning with your feet on the platform. I used my mission for one all day sit this year and found myself trying to lean on the edge and while you still can it's not nearly as comfortable as it is on the seeker. It really has me considering selling my mission and picking up a regular seekerThe angled portion of the seeker intrests me a lot as I often find myself leaning in the saddle. Any strong feedback from seeker users on the functionality of the angled couple inches of the platform?
Only platform I have had...works nice with the angled front for leaning...It's why I went with it.The angled portion of the seeker intrests me a lot as I often find myself leaning in the saddle. Any strong feedback from seeker users on the functionality of the angled couple inches of the platform?
If you want the best bite to the tree, there is no better than Trophyline/Novix. The only platforms that don’t absolutely need a toe hook to set. I’m on my Mission right now and I didn’t toe hook (even though I usually do just for an extra step of security). Check the bite:I ran the predator xl for 3 seasons and this year I switched to the onyx. I prefer the onyx! It bites the tree insanely well and the thicker cast feels more secure. Now, I didnt mind the XL nor did I have any issues but now using the onyx for this season I am sticking with it.
I started with a hawk helium and honestly, I loved it and never had any issues other than the slick surface. I put vet tape on it and loved it for 3 seasons!The angled portion of the seeker intrests me a lot as I often find myself leaning in the saddle.
