From what I have seen, some where between $900 & $1200. They don't look near as handy at those prices---lol.

Prices on most fishing gear is out of control. I dont understand how these companies can charge half of what they do for what they sell. Its ridiculous. And then a guy like "Oh its a big one" gets up and pushes it to us like we gotta go get one today or we aint gonna be worth a spit...well.....it makes him liike like a moron.

The problem is some folks will pay the STUPID HIGH PRICES....how many of us have 20$ lures in our tacklebox? I've got a few. A friend of mine told me once that " A Fool and his money are soon parted"......good one.

They may be pricey, but they honestly do work. A lot of the FLW boys I know have them on their boats and a couple of my friends that I fish with have them. They swear by them when the spawn starts or if the wind is blowing you around. You don't even have to put them down into the lake bottom if you're around some trees. You can just drop it down into the tree and hold yourself right there. My friends have mounted switches on the console and on the front deck. They can cruise the banks with their trolling motor looking for beds and hit the switch in a second to stop right on top of a bed fish. The 8' model is what I want really bad. I just spent way too much money starting the WTTT trail to even think about getting one this year. Dadburn it!

I wanted one when they 1st came out and probably would have had one when I got my new Cat but I forgot to add it to the add-on list....and now I am too cheap to go out and buy it.
They look like a great tool for shallow (bed) fishing and other uses.

All said and done after installation you will easily be over 1,500. Would I buy one if money was no object? Of course. But until then the ol' push pole will have to do...
