Rule of thumb, Bigger is monst genneraly better if you to a lot of fishing and demand the best you can get out of your tools.
the second rule of thumb is you dont always need the biggest and bestest toy on the market to efficently get the job done.
third and final but most important rule of thumb is, the cheepest unit on the market ususaly is.....
I have found the third rule to be true with every thing I have ever bought. I may not ever make it up to mid range in priced product availability, I cirtainly will not buy the cheepest unit on the market... I dont know about the unit you are looking. but if it is the cheepest unit on the market you will most deffenantly pay for it again in the long run.... and the price is only going to go up.
My neighbor picked up a vexlar 10 years ago, and is still using it this year, he paid I think like 340 for it then, so if you figure the cost for it today, it has run him about 34 dollars per year...
I am not a flasher fan, but if I were in the market for one, I would deffenantly be looking at some of my buds who are seriously looking at upgrades, a used three hundred dollar unit you may be able to pick up for 75 to a buck fifty.
Just food for thought, and stat away from ebay, never buy used electronics over the net from people you dont know.
