I was the one at the very end asking how long the batteries lasted on the Vexilar. Yeah I definitely got some good info tonight. I had a few tips I was going to recommend for the depth issues. One thing that works for me is to slide one of the really tiny plastic bobber stops with 4 holes in it on my line and slide it up the line as I drop the weight with the alligator clip to find bottom. I normally slide it down to where it is just barely in the water with the line tight then slide it another foot down from there for starting for panfish. It works really good if you don't have a fish finder to see where your jig is. Then when you start letting line out you can put your rod in your rod holder with the bobber stop right at water level and know you are a foot or however far you slid it up or dwon the line in relation to the bottom. It works really good for a dead stick rod. Chad
