I have the Elite 5 DSI and I love it for both vertical jigging and trolling crank baits. The main thing I like is being able to tell when fish are on the move, I assume they're feeding when I see the tail tale marks on the screen and when vertical jigging I stay on top of that and will pick up fish till they move off or quit chasing bait. I want to say a 10 but I'll give it an 8 since I don't have a lot of experience with any others to compare with.
