I went with the 8's again, third set, don't think i need the tens and I sure do not like the look, if I were wanting 10 or 12's i would have to try the Talon and man are they butt ugly. stir

I'm on my second set of 8' Blades, They are good for me. The 10's seem like they will get in the way.

Gotta love front door service. Stroman just dropped off the boat. The 10 footers look pretty good on a 24 foot boat.

Most people just get the 8's. I'm pretty happy with mine. Darn glad I didn't get a talon too.

When fishing that type of situation, my 8's have always been adequate. If I bought a nice boat that came with 10's then I would keep them on, but if buying new I would go 8.

I think it depends on the type of boat you have.

I have 10's on my skeeter and they sit up way too high....like 2 feet over the cowling

If I buy a skeeter again I will put 8's on it

I love the one 8 i have. I wish I had the second one. It will happen eventually.

I think the depth the 12' Talon reaches is awesome, but they're way too ugly for me to consider putting them on a boat.

I have put 10's on my last 2 boats. I have just become accustomed to poling down in 9' and in Texas you can fish less than 9 ' most of the year. they are worth the minor inconvenience. They only stick up 11"s higher than the 8'. Ive had both and I would recommend the 10's if you primarily fish shallow.

For all you guys that have 10s and wish you went with 8s, I would be happy to trade my white 8' blades for a set of 10fters. Let me know!!!

What about performance? Looks mean very little if they are not taking care of business? I've yet to get some and wondering which size is most stable and trouble free on windy days, does the difference put more strain on the transom?
