Basicly I have been thinking of properly setting myself up with a marker rod and all the rest to go with it. But I was thinking that for the cos maybee it might be worth investing in one of these (a humminbird fishfinder):

info:
Key Features
Big 3 7/8" diagonal display with 160V x 132H resolution.
Rugged carry case with non-skid bottom and RSS storage.
True 4-level grayscale delivers clearly better images of the bottom, fish and structure.
100 ft remote operating range, 100 ft depth capability.
Large, easy to see digital depth readout.
Backlight for night fishing.
New illuminated Advanced RSS? with water surface temperature included.
Display powered by 8 replaceable AA batteries. (not included)
Includes one waterproof programable Advanced RSS for either Channel A or B operation mode.
Click here for a RF15 manual in PDF format. If you need Adobe Reader to open PDF documents, click here to get it.
Additional Features
Ultra-wide sonar coverage equal to twice the water depth.
One-Touch? menu navigation easily controls FishID+?, depth range, fish alarm, and sensitivity.
Advanced RSS typically lasts for 500 hours of in-the-water usage.
Advanced RSS replacements available on this web site, at your local tackle dealer and major outdoor retailers.
Wet Switch? technology maximizes battery life by automatically shutting down when the Advanced Remote Sonar Sensor is out of water.
Waterproof design.
I'm asking if you think this has it's advantages or disadvatages. I would be primerely using it for depth reading and feature finding without the hastle and time used by plumbeting and using a marker.
I was thinking as well that you can pick these up second hand for around ?100 which isn't to far off a marker rod set up. call me lazy (I all ready now I am) but I can see this saving plenty of time and hastle.
whats your thoughts??????
