Thanks So far: The wrist receiver uses a fairly common battery. A CR2450. It claims 25-30 hours operation and less in cold weather. I happen to use them for one of the alarm systems I maintain, so I have them in stock in my office. I have also bought them at Radio Shack and Walgreens in a pinch. After reading the instructions I have not seen how the transmitter battery can be replaced so I am assuming that it has a finite life. It may use one of the ten year batteries like ITI uses in their alarm transmitters. I do a fair amount of canal bank fishing so I'll probably give it its first workout on areas where I am pretty familiar with the bottom. -- Bob La Londe www.YumaBassMan.com All about fishing in Yuma, Arizona Promote Your Fishing Website FOR FREE www.DiyComponents.com Buy professional quality components for DIY Projects |

Its actuated by water, turns off out of water. You dont replace the battery you buy a new transmitter costs like $20. Ive been looking at this waiting for it to go on xmas sale well it never did so most likely will get one come April. |

I just want to know how far it flies when you forget to hit the freespool
button or open your bail on a cast. Where would you cast it where you couldn't just put the boat over? I have a hard time seeing a need for the thing, but hope you find some.

I like the idea, but doubt the performance/quality.
