[cool][#0000ff]Many happy tubers and tooners use the Buddies. They work well for our applications. But the features are what make them good or bad. You need some things but not others, depending on the fishing you do.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]For some types of fishing the sidefinders can be helpful...like fishing for suspending species...like crappies or trout. But, for most fishing the sidefinder is added expense and fuss that is seldom needed.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]You really need to go into some sonar manufacturers websites and read the basic tutorials on sonar before you even consider spending some money. There is a lot to know before going out and blindly plunking down some money for something about which you do not know enough to make a good decision. There are many websites online that will explain it much better than we can in a short thread on this board.[/#0000ff]
