Mix123 - Seems you have the exact setup I am looking at getting. I have a guide but often end up either fishing alone or with 4 people. I am thinking I may buy a pro end of this year when I can find one cheaper and use it with the trap link to hook my two together when I have the 4 people. I like the idea of having the smaller pro for when I go out by myself - just not sure if we could cram two people into the pro for an afternoon of fishing? I am sure we could as we have been craming 4 into the guide on the frigid weekends of late and if we can do that for several hours we could certainly go with a guide and a pro. Do you think I would be better off getting another guide for the comfort or the pro so I have more versatitly - I am definetly leaning towards the pro just not sure how it works for fishing two people - none of us are too big so that will help. Also seems crazy that the pro is still selling for $300-350, I bought my guide brand new in November for $249 so it is hard to justify spending more $$$ for the smaller trap.
