Humminbird Smartcast?

Anyone ever used one? They look cool, and it is a good concept for bank fishermen, but i just wonder how well they work. I was looking at the ones that strap to your rod.

Other than showing you the depth of the water they are pretty much useless. I had the Smartcast with the big display. I took it to a paylake and it never marked a single fish. It did help me figure out the contour of the lake and any holes. Then the unit started acting up. I replaced the Smartcast unit and still had problems. It was a neat toy but it definately falls under the toy category.
