[cool]Ruffled some feathers, did I. No offense intended. I suspected that you would have the latest model with all the bells and whistles. My reference was to one of the early "plain vanilla" models that were still being refined. In truth, I have heard good things about the upgraded newer systems. You provided a good report.
I actually have a friend, Gary Lindstrom, who is a professional fisherman and guides for steelhead and salmon...both in northern California and on the Kenai River in Alaska. He is known as "Big Dog". He is a rep for Bottomline and heavily promotes the Fishin'Buddies.
The "bottom line" is that there is no "one-size-fits-all" system. You experiment until you find something that is both affordable and functional, and gives you the performance you want for your style of fishing, then you go for it.
No offense intended. Sorry to rock your tube.
