Okay, call me gullible or wastefull....but I did buy one of these items. I saw it when it first came out on the back pages of the Cabella's Catalog. I didnt think of it as a serious fish finder but thought that there would be a few times it would come in handy....and it has.
I've used it with my tube several times and from shore with the kids quite a bit. It has helped me identify structure, depth, etc. and I have been able to find fish with it. It is a lot of fun and a nifty little gadget.
I have had only one problem with it.....if you retrieve it too fast or if the water is rough....once the top of the unit is under water in a wake or wave, you will loose the signal. You just have to bring it in slower so that the anteanna stays above the water.
I have not been disapointed with it and have had a lot of fun with it. BUT, like I said, I bought it knowing that it was just a gadget, a toy, something to play around with and I didnt have great expectations for it.
It has been a lot of fun.
