I'm just happy to get out. Lol. Pockets are a bit lighter currently. made more than my fair share of charitable donations to the ex-wife. The two units I run are so old I'm ashamed to even say what they are. I think I used them more for confidence than to fish but they give me what I need, the bottom and fish. Lol. Ya I co-angler from time to time and some of the gear and $ is insane. But if it works it works.
