When it comes to choosing the style of your next fishing boat there are two main choices: console or tiller. Both options offer you some very unique benefits and also some great similarities as well but, it ultimately comes down to the type of fishing you do and what you are looking to get out of your rig. I have been running a tiller boat for over 26 years so naturally, a tiller-style boat is my choice for guiding, filming and fishing with my friends and family. But why? Why choose a tiller over a console? That is specifically why I made this video. If you have been curious to see what benefits a tiller rig offers then this video is for you!
