FANTASTIC EFFORT

Hi All, Something for Surf/Rock fishos Has any body heard of the Humming SMART CAST WRIST RF-30 Sonar. Apparently this little device is a wireless sonar you attach to your rod and cast out to the area where you want to fish. The actual display is the size of a watch which is basically is attached around your wrist. This device apparently gives a depth reading and i beleive has 2 sensitivity settings for picking up fish activity i spoke to my local tackle dealer and he said "mate if they were really that good i would be stocking them" which i thought was a valid point. Anyways just wanted to know if anybody knows someone who has one and what do ya all think You can find the specs for this device with the link provided below enjoy http://www.shipstore.com/SS/HTML/HUM/HUM4058401S.html let me know Snookboy

Thanx Roberta that is probably my best option ill press on with my egg beater for now, ill try and get my hands on a alvey setup cheers

Thanx for all the replies, It looks like you cant go wrong with an alvey however this means if i was to run with the alvey set up i would need a new rod. i only just purchased a new one last week. however i didnt realise that the first guide had to be so high up on the rod. would having a custom blank made allow me to use both setups and also what about the guides higher up would the need to be changed

cheers Snag Thanks for the info just what i needed to hear

Hi all, Just like to say hello to everyone first as i have been a member since the 15th of March and am now making my first post. My question i guess is targeted mostly towards surf/rock fishos. For casting distance which in your own opinion will cast further the Alvey or say a bait runner reel and why im thinking of purchasing an alvey reel willing to spend $250 max but for that price i can get a nice bait runner. please give me your feed back.
