This Could Save Your Life (+5B's) | Best on Tour Breakdown Ep 18

All right, Jordan, we are going to get to what is buzzing around the industry this week, and it involves

safety.

That's right.

It involves safety this week.

The buzz around the industry is the leash, which you may or may not have heard of, is now going to become standard on all Falcon boats starting in 2027.

Dave, you had sent me this short clip from Mark Menendez.

Let me show you guys this, and let's discuss really quick.

to announce that the leash will be standard on all Falcon bass boats in 2027.

A great collaboration with a great idea in mind, keeping bass boating people safe and getting you back home to your family.

So there you go.

We have no affiliation with the leash or Falcon bass boats.

We just thought this was very interesting.

Dave, what is your take on this?

I thought it was extremely interesting, Jordan.

One of the things that struck me is the word standardized.

So when you order a new boat, there are a lot of equipment options that you can have come with your boat that different brands offer.

But Falcon is making this a standard issue piece of equipment in conjunction with Precision Sonar.

They are making the leash a standard piece of equipment on all Falcon bass boats that go out of their factory.

I'm assuming this means whether you're running a Yamaha, a Mercury, a Suzuki, whatever brand of engine you're running, if you order a Falcon bass boot, it's going to come with a leash.

And unfortunately, if you've spent much time on social media, you've probably come across some of the pictures and videos where guys have hit things.

The outboard motor has come dislodged from the transom and ends up coming back in.

into the boat.

That is what the leash is built to prevent the outboard from coming up and not hitting you or your partner.

It's a great piece of equipment.

Like you said, we don't have an affiliation with it, but as far as safety goes, it is a super important piece of equipment.
