fish finder suggestions?
anyways. what are the better units for kayaks out there? i want something with clear imaging to 300ft (would be cool to have something that reads to 600 or more) and has GPS that i can save points on. also going to run two batteries. one for the FF and one for the bait tank. figure this will give me more life on both for multiple day trips and allow me to run a color unit with GPS assuming it takes more juice.

Just keep saving, dont settle for something less then what you want besides the 1st and 15th are gonna come every month, and food and electricity are over rated any way!

all that un necessary BS is automatically taken out of my check... its the gas to get to work that kills me.
thats why i asked though, i was going to be perfectly content with a Mark4 but since now im waiting again, i might as well save up a few more dollars and get something a little better.

Keep in mind BPS offers 6 month pay options. It makes getting the system you want easier. No interest is charged. I love this deal for items like this.

I'm just curious why you think you need something that reads to 600 feet?
Even 300 is just on the excessive side. |

While you'll most likely only need a maximum of 300' saltwater depth for 99% of everything you fish for, you WILL need a FF capable of 600'. Why?
Because all specs are based upon Freshwater. So, with a 300' max depth FF, you'll be lucky if you are getting bottom readings at half that depth. Now, I will agree with Drake, you will for the most part hardly ever be fishing in that kinda depth. Look, just save up your $$$ and get the $300 Elite 4. Problem solved. FF, GPS, deep enough, reliable, and cheap for what you get.

There is an expiration date for the payment plan. And I'm not sure how often they offer this plan. You may have to call and see or sign up and get email alerts.
For example: http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/st...-1&pageID=4332 |

I think all you have to do is call them and place the order over the phone.
