Since this is the lake where I will 99% of the time longline, I have a question about FF.

I am ready to pull the trigger and want to see opinions at Talquin about whether the SI is really a significant help over a DI unit for marking fish in that lake.

Right now I can get a HB Helix 7 DI GPS for around $400, I can wait till Jan and get a Helix 9 SIDI GPS for just under $1000.

Most of my other fishing on the flats and smaller lily pond lakes and rivers I dont see a real distinct advantage with SI.

Thanks for any opinions and experiences!
