After all the great advice and after studying my finances and extreme lack of patience I finally opted for the Marcum VX-1 Pro.
I am sure all the advice and suggestions were well founded and I do greatly appreciate it. I don't think I'll be disappointed w/ this unit.
Yep there are better ones out there but this one is light years ahead of the one I had before...the rookie series adv.crfgrs.ltaluk (advice about where they were caught yesterday, crossed fingers and lotta luck) not a very reliable unit to say the least, LOL!!!!!!!
Picked up my Marcum tonight and gonna break it in on cascade on thurs...Hogger
