Cruzr Seeker Review 

Awesome point of view and review of your testing and use of the Cruzr Seeker Platform. Just ordered mine and waiting for it to arrive. I'm pretty stoked and anxious to start using it and going through all these test myself. Keep up the great content.

Particularly useful videos Spencer. Thanks.

Thank you so much. I am shopping for my first saddle platform right now and this is super helpful.

What an awesome video, I’m not a saddle hunter but I enjoy your take on all the products used for saddle hunting. Some day I’d like to meet you so you can show me in person how easy saddle hunting really is. Thanks again for a great video.

Thanks for an honest, thoughtful and thorough review. I have the gen 2 original size predator platform, I bought two squirrel steps to put on the predator’s strap and will see how that works out this year.

Thanks for the video! I have a predator XL but looking at this platform pretty hard!

I'm excited to see what you run for climbing sticks. A lot of options out there. Hoping you include us in your search.

Great review. Love the honesty

You really do great videos very informative

Thanks for another great review!

Your videos are awesome! I appreciate you jumping right in to the video, I can't stand those minute long garbage intros

Great job Spencer!

I ended up picking the edp for my first platform. Perfect for my size feet. Plenty of boot spurs to kick off from. Rock solid as all of these cam styles are. Love your content man. Keep at it

Got the Mission last Christmas as a gift, ended up cuting it down, now is about the same size as the Predator XL, don't miss the "extra real estate" at all, size 12 boots, fits great, Mission quality in a more compact size.

A year later and still a much appreciated review. Well done! I think I may pull the trigger on this platform. I do wonder if they have changed anything with it by now. Better strap, fixed bolt, smaller traction knobs?

Always enjoy your reviews on saddle equipment..your reviews are always straight forward and neutral..a link to the platform would be a good idea in the description

Good review. Definitely on my list but I’ve decided to go one sticking this year so that stuff is first 😂

Nice video, really appreciate it.

Great review, thorough! Have you had any issues with the Seeker platform when it's wet (or dry)? Other platforms have "grippy knobs" on the sides (ie Tethrd Predator and Trophyline EDP) but the Seeker's sides are smooth (except on top which has grippy knobs). Any slipping when hanging off at an angle? Are you using the Seeker or Predator more when you hunt? How does the Seeker compare to the Predator XL? Are the noisy knobs really an issue? After some time "in the saddle" and on the platform, do you think the slopped front is really useful or would it be better to just have more flat real estate?

Great product review - very thorough - appreciate that! Does the Seeker have a leveling adjuster on it?

The noise of the aggressive knobs was a deal breaker for me. Went with the tethrd predator. The Cruzr XC saddle however is sooo good!

Great JOB thx!

Great review and I agree with your assessment; I'm not sure I want the extra "thinking" required for managing my feet while maneuvering for the shot. However, I do have a nice grinder that could get rid of those pretty easily (and shave some weight!).

I wonder how it compared in size to the Predator XL platform?

Just wondering: did you leave that bolt flipped permanently? Like for larger trees? Mine’s ordered - well, technically back ordered…but, that’s the platform I bought.

Love all your reviews. Are you still doing a CRUZR XC vs Archlon?

Great video. First year saddle hunting and about to buy a full set up. Going to go with the XC, but I’m looking for feedback if I should snag a Tethrd Pred or this Cruzr platform. If you had to go with one, which would it be?

Newbie Question: Can you use the Cruzr Seeker to climb the tree or do I need climbing sticks as well the Seeker platform?

Thank you

I see you were using the Cruzr saddle in this video. How has it stood up with use? I’m curious if the pleat won’t close over time like I’ve heard from complaints with the Aero Hunter

Great vid man. What do you think of the method 2?

Thank you for your review. Please consider "the fix" from LWC. I'm new to saddle and thinking this checks all the boxes. Been waiting for the seeker mini, can't wait anymore, ordered the fix. Is it worth it?

Just ordered mine, will do what you said with the bolt

got some flex. trophy line doesn't flex. mission is great. no flex and easy to hang. i was very impressed with the mission.

What is your preferred method to get down to the ground after a kill, or end of hunt?

Lots of noise....maybe the combination of those boots and the stand itself? Or bark? I can hear it popping quite a bit.

Hanging 20 feet up in tree that gets that skinny, I would think you'd be swaying back and forth enough to make you nauseated let alone getting easily picked by a deer. That being said, I love your reviews and I appreciate your skills. You've really helped me in putting together my own hunting setup

Really appreciate your reviews. I wanted to pick your brain by phone or email if possible on gear. Let me know if you have time to do that.

If only the Predator had the angled front

He must be less than 150lbs. Didn't matter how tight I strapped and cammed mine to a tree it would push away from tree. Strap position is too high on the post. Bolt for the bracket not too long. B/S What are you climbing for tree a tooth pick?

You need to get you a mic! Enjoy the videos.

Great video. But these platforms are getting so BIG an heavy saddle hunting will be hang on hunting before long.

just looks like a modified predator platform

Those grips are super noisy

Another Tethrd wannabe
