Sounds like a great deal.

 

This might be a stupid question, but why does it have a transducer? Does it use that to measure the depth of line out? Thought it would do that based on revolutions of the spool?

Or is that so you can set it to troll at a certain distance from the bottom regardless of changes to the bottom surface?

When asked by a non-fisherman 'how many fishing rods do you really need?' the correct answer is either:

n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or

n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause your significant other to dump you.

Yeah dan , the transducer adjusts the depth so say if u want it at 5 m from the bottom it will come up or down to suit the actual depth even if there's a 20m depth difference
