Pros
• One touch access to feature settings.
• It has soft glow backlighting, for unmatched readability at night.
• Fish are indicated.
• Depth is indicated.
• It works as advertised and is a very effective tool.
Cons
• No way to tell what size the fish are, the indication shows a school of 3 inch minnows the same as it does a 30" Chinook Salmon.
• The long cord is annoying to deal with, aside from the inevitable tangles, it sinks like a stone drasticly lowering the effective distance you can get the finder to work from you, the manufacturer suggests using bobbers to float the cord. Thats fine for trolling or casting but when your trying to survey a hole in a stream or river it doesn't work very well.
• Water and this model of fish finder are apparently incompatible - third time out we were on a stream and the canoe tipped on a sweeper. Fish finder was in a zip-lock but some water managed to get in along the cord and into the unit. It stopped working after that. Basically if you drop the thing in water or even get a good splash expect it to stop working.
