Spend the money on a radio. Its only $120ish. Not any more than a medium quality reel. You cannot afford to be cheap with the essential safety gear. Besides, you'll have access to weather reports, other chat from private boaters/anglers, and you can listen in on the CG for any warnings about naval activity, abnormal conditions, etc.
