Any know-it-all's on this subject..?

 

I am wondering what's at the bottom, the top and on between? Seems there is lots to choose from and hate to waste money on some crap.

 

Any info you care to share would be greatly appreciated.

We use the Motorola's during hunting season. They have a reasonable range depending on the terrain and hills. (Costco used to carry them)

[SnoWolf]

I was looking around and found a set of Motorolas that are water proof and float. Thinking I might give them a try.

Jim water proof is good ask Keith he's lost one of mine add I'm sure he's lost several of his own to water.

 

Cobra's are not to bad either. I've used both. Motarola & cobra.

I've seen the waterproof Moto's and they are cool indeed. Good range and best of all when you go for a dunk all should still be good. I've lost a few to flowing water after taking a good dunk (they sure do make an odd vibrate sound when in the water) and wished someone would come out with a waterproof set and a reasonable cost.

Hahaha. Ya I guess there is at least one draw back to their floating, ie: them moving down stream faster than you can...;-). However other than that I think I have sold myself on those ones.

 

They are a little expensive but they are one sale right now for a good price so I guess I better go get some. There was only one set there.

 

Thx all

Put a zinger or lanyard on them.

[SnoWolf]

That's what I was thinking as they do have a spot to do so.

Is funny though as it seems the more I cut back on the things I'm willing to carry all day the more things I find I'm willing to carry all day....;-)

[Junior]

And the trade off isn't equal. With the idea of simplifying and going light, I cut back from 5 spools of tippet, and now only fish with 3. Then I picked up a SPOT.

[SnoWolf]

Yep I hear you....lol

WHY CARRY A PHONE WHEN YOUR OUT FISHING ?

 

HE HE I LOVE THIS SITE ALL READY

[SnoWolf]

Hahaha. I'm with you Rod. My cell phone is turned off when I an fishing...;-). However it's not unusual for me to fish alone and there is always some risk associated with that. So having a radio I believe is helpful and if you are fishin with some friends you don't have to stay in eyesight cause if anything goes sideways you can call them.

I did pick up the water proof motorolas but have not had a chance to try them out yet.
