Smartcast Sonar Gadgets. Any good?

Rip Off Britain? How much did you spend on The Gulf War?

I reckon we got a bargain, in comparison!

Hi all

I have had one of these for about 6 months, which I bought in the US for
$90
(£60). The model I have has
the green sensor and the wrist watch. It works very well, I have used it
to
distances of 15yds with no problems,
in fact I have not yet found it's limit. The way it works is that you
cast
it in (avoiding any trees etc or you will be
diving in to retrieve the sensor) then you can see the depth of the water
and any fish that happen to be there, it
does not seem to discriminate the size of the fish. You can then slowly
retrieve it whilst monitoring the watch. You
will see the depth change, revealing any trenches, and fish come and go.

Any good? for £60 I think it is worth the money. If you have problems
reading swims or you go to a lot of different
venues then it can assist in locating the fish and help teach you how to
read waters more efficiently. You still have to
catch the little buggers, but for novices it is a real boon.

The downsides, it does not look as if you can change the batteries in the
sensor. There is only two versions of the
sensor which have a locked frequency, so you will get interference if a
number of people use them at the same time
at a venue. It will probable be more expensive in rip-off Britain. The US
sensors are green and the UK one's are blue
as they use a different frequency.

That's my 1.34675 pence worth.
