I too have a fishing buddy and throughly enjoy the portability from the ice to the little boat to the float tube! I personally have found that they work just great, but you definitely need to use them a bit to get "used to them". I would suggest turning it down to only show medium and large fish. The darn things beep and get annoying as it spots your lure. Also, learn to read the bottom on it. It doesn't spot fish on the bottom extremely well as far as showing "fishicons", but it does change a bit or show "ridges" that I have learned to identify as fish. I'm sure technology has passed it and there are many comparable units, but in my opinion it is just fine. A little practice and who will be watching them come across, reel or drop to 'em, then ripping them out as your buddies cuss ya!
