I paid $700+ for mine. You can buy them for $350-400 now. If that's all you can afford...it's a good value for a GPS/FF combo, IMO.

I've been running an elite 5 dsi for 5 years. When i bought it i wasn't (or planning on) trolling Lake Ontario. I was a total newbie with a new (to me) boat and didn't like the FF that was on it. It was a "new" FF on the market. It's def designed more for jigging or still fishing in shallower water. However, i've caught a lot of King's with it aboard. The GPS is great! The FF does mark bait and fish. The smaller marks are harder to see. But it also doesn't have a lot of the clutter on the screen you get from FF's that use hooks to designate a fish. If it marks a big king...you will def know it! The biggest disadvantage is that it maxs out depth at 300 fow. If you go deeper than 320 it stops marking bottom. The FF will still mark fish. You just won't know how deep you are. I seldom fish deeper than 300...so it hasn't been too much of a problem.

I ran a rig similiar to that and never did much with it. This is on the south-east shore. Who knows...maybe that will be the hot rig this year!!

Just stop at all-seasons in Pulaski on your way up. They always have plenty.

He's out west steelhead fishing. Send him an email or call in a week or so.

One of my buddies fried up a fresh small coho last summer and said it was the best fish he ever had!

I like all of it! The Flea flicker does stretch the most and takes up a lot of space on the reel. It does twist easy and isn't the greatest with knots...but you get 0 fleas. It doesn't work too great in a blacks release without a rubber band. I think it's best use is to tie in a 100 foot section between your mainline and leader during flea season. Don't grab it with a screamer on the other end. It's oval shape will make it cut into your hand! The Big Game is the most user-friendly and the strongest. It's the easiest to tie knots with and stretches the least. But you will get some fleas on it. I use this on my spoon rod and leader down to 20 lbs floro via a spro micro-swivel. The Blood Run is a great line. It's slick to the touch with some kind of coating on it. You will get 0 fleas with it. But it's huge and hard to tie knots with (especially to small swivels). I didn't notice the amount of stretch someone else mentioned. But i believe it. I used this on my rod i ran flashers on. I ran it straight to a spin dr swivel.

Cool stuff!! But were you really listeneing to Adele?

Where did you guys park?

Cool!! That's some organization!!
