- What happens when two of the premiere companies in the industry join forces to launch a new saddle? The Trophyline Venatic. We take a quick look at this new, lightweight saddle and fill you in on some of the behind-the-scenes collaboration that it took to make it happen and show you some of the features and benefits. #saddlehunting #trophyline #TX5 #mobilehunting
I am wonder about one sticking and the EWO UP and the new bottom step that you gave us a sneak peak of? What does it do for us beginners? Does it push the aider out away from the tree a lot further? Is it more comfortable while climbing? Is it easier for setting stick? Just lots of questions I know but you are the absolute best information out for One Sticking. Thank you
I got a bit busy with some other projects but I’ll definitely have that video up in a few weeks.
I've never used an openable bridge, I know you love that option. How do you get the carabiner to stay set in the lineman loop? Does it just find it's place automatically? I'd like to order this saddle but honestly that's my one hangup. On my past few saddles i like to be able to adjust the bridge to help adjust for comfort. Thanks!
It just naturally centers itself. I have a video on how to build your own openable bridge, and at the end I give a couple options so you can put the carabiner where you’d like, yet still retain the ability to open it. What I’ve found though is most people adjust it to where it would have centered without the extra stuff.
But if you wanted to, you could add the prusik/Schwabisch or whatever to the bridge loop to provide that adjustability I show in that video while retaining the ability to open quite easily.
Hey I would appreciate your opinion on which saddle you would choose, either the Curzr XC or the Venatic? I had my heart set on the XC until I came across the Venatic.
Honestly depends on if you want an expanding seat or not, and if you’re trying to whittle out every single ounce you can. The Venatic is other-worldly light, and on par with the XC from a comfort standpoint. The Cruzr saddle might be a bit heavier-duty if you’re planning on busting through a bunch of brush and briars.
Great information. You have a new subscriber!
Ugh, I'm just trying to get into hunting out of a saddle and you've done very favorable reviews of my top 3 saddle choices 🙄
Very well done reviews by the way, don't know how I'm going to choose between the Cruzr XC, Trophyline Venatic, and the TX5 Lonestar....
They’re all three top-notch saddles for sure!
Nice video. TL should have folded those lineman’s loops and sewed them.
Thanks for the review! How would you rate this compared to the cruzr xc? Thanks
They’re both super-comfy … just have to decide if you want more of a “minimalist” feel with the super-light, single-panel design of the Venatic or more of a “cradled” feel with the pleated XC.
Which one would you say is more comfortable? Thanks again
@@BukTeef7 they’re very close. It’s going to boil down to personal preference in what you’re looking for. I’m more of a non-pleated guy myself, but there’s tons of people out there who prefer that feature.
Sounds good, I appreciate the insight!
I ended up buying a venatic. Do you have concerns about the durability of the ripstop fabric? Seems super thin. Lot of brush and thorns where I hunt. May return and buy a cruzr xc. Thanks again
Is it me or is the black material kinda shinny? Are you also the onestinger arrow wrap guy? I've ordered them a bunch over the years. Thanks for all the great info!!
It's not that bad in reality; if you were REALLY concerned about it, you could rub some dirt on it, LOL... No, I'm not the owner of Onestringer but they are good friends of mine so I wear their apparel a lot in my videos. Of course, I've exclusively used their wraps as well for almost two decades.
The material sounds a little loud, not the buckles but the rubberized material and body almost like a wind breaker, is it quiet when on
No concerns with it whatsoever. I was at a show in Ohio this weekend and probably 100 people tried it on in their booth and no one expressed alarm at any noise.
@@StaggsintheWild just wondering, never seen one made of that material, I’m using the phantom this year with an trophyline edp platform, may give the venatic a go next year
@@Flightofthearrowoutdoors It's actually quite a bit "softer" than you'd think -- but being ripstop, I expect it to hold up extremely well to wear and tear.
How’s the comfort over the xc you spoke very highly of?
It’s right up there with it … no pressure points at all. The early feedback from almost everyone who’s bought one already has been outstanding.
Ok I’m am torn between the two for this season
Another great video!! Did you guys ever do any testing with Tethrd saddles? If so what were your thoughts.
I hunted several times out of a Mantis after they hit the market … I’ve owned a Phantom but didn’t keep it long enough to really be able to get long-term feedback on it.
@@StaggsintheWild Got ya! I know your big on openable bridges so I know they have they going against it. Just curious on how they compared to trophy line saddles.
@@andrewpica2473 They makes great platforms 😁
@@StaggsintheWild I’m really looking at one sticking for sure. Either the Big BOB or EWO UP. I bought a phantom saddle and it’s comfortable just really wondering about other saddles and how they compare. Figured I’d reach out to someone with some great saddle knowledge. Thanks again for all the great content! Please keep it up! 😎👍🏻
Which should I buy! Venatic or Tx5 lone star? I have a tethed phantom that I’m not crazy about. Wanting a new saddle, I’ve heard these 2 are awesome.
Honestly it’s hard to go wrong with either one. I’m partial to TX5, but honestly the Venatic doesn’t give up much in terms of comfort.
@@StaggsintheWild man, hard decision. I’m leaning toward the tx5 due to the camo patterns, but the venatic is super light and comfortable. It’s hard trying to sell this tethed saddle. I guess there’s just so many more quality saddles now, resale is tough.
If I’m looking for ultimate comfort, zero hip pinch, easy to wear in , and I’m going to buy today? Venatic or lonestar?
@@ShaneBolerHunting Seriously... either one will fit all those categories. The Venatic will be lighter; the TX5 will have a sturdier feel. The TX5 comes with a better rope bridge, for what it's worth, and I like the Cobra buckles on the TX5 better, especially the leg straps.
How does the TL venatic fit in comparison to jean waist sizes? I am a 36 waist in jeans and was curious what size I should consider to wear over bibs in cold but not b baggy in warmer weather early season hunts?
I tend to err on the side of a snugger fit; I really dislike baggy saddles myself. I’d probably go with the medium personally.
You should look into the custom gear modifications cobra saddle.
You should look around my channel some 😂

Cruzr xc Is the most comfortable tree in ever made.
You’d like this video then … ua-cam.com/video/PAmgFJqSBs0/v-deo.html
id rather just have sewn-in aluminum triglides and double back the webbing than use all them fancy buckles on most newer saddles, they are simpler, lighter, less expensive, and are more then strong enough.
Another option is China made with US made prices.
Very true.
You always use the pronoun "We". Just out of curiosity, who's "We"? Are you representative of a group or company?
My son Gabe hunts with me and often participates in these videos with me; if he’s not in front of the camera, he’s the one zooming carefully in on several of the shots behind the camera 😊
@@StaggsintheWild That's awesome! Thanks for making it clear, and for all the videos. Everything I've learned about one sticking, I got from your videos. Keep it up!
