    Yea they are great unless you accidently drop it in the water as I did my partners. I thought ok I will just pay to have it rearmed. ALMOST stroked out when I saw the rearming kits are 75 DOLLARS Man they think am awful lot of their products. Oh well just don't drop it in and you will be ok. On the other hand that is what they are made for so guess it would be worth it if you fell in. lol

    Stay with SOSpenders in that case. My rearming kit only cost about $30 or so, if my memory serves me right.

    Tight lines and God Bless
