Dont bother there crap, the ones off boats are totally differnt to these ones boat ones are way better but your looking at a couple of hundred for a good one and most havre to be attached to the hull,these ones you cast out there attached to our line then you read off the control thing but the picture is pretty crap i used one off a pier and harbour wall and they were giving the wrong depth and showing massive fish which would have been 12ft long if they were really there,might be off some use in fresh water but sea fishing no point as fish tend to move around not stay in one spot like in ponds ect,save your money and get some decent bait ready for the cod.

thanks for that lads i think i'll wait a bit longer before i look into one... probably, in a few months, the expensive ones now might become a bit cheaper as they improve

you can find the fish but if you cant catch the fish its useless

well if it can find shelves and ditches then thats what i would use it for but i think i may have my wires crossed i was on about

course fishing however i have heard of people using them on lakes all the best

I use a smartcast a lot and I find it a very useful piece of kit well worth the money it saves a lot of time feature finding on the rivers xmass is coming.
