I read a review somewhere on the Vexilar one and the guy said be sure to use 30 LBS braid when casting it out as he had a Pike make a grab at his.

Very cool concept, although casting something worth over a hundred bucks would have me holding my breath when the line goes off the reel.

I may or may not be interested. It's too new of a product to judge it yet. I'll keep an eye on the Amazon reviews and see how this goes.

http://www.amazon.com/Vexilar-T-Pod-...rds=sonarphone

If you scroll through the reviews, you'll get some idea of how worthwhilea product is. I keep in mind that some of the ecstatic reviews are posted by the manufacturer/dealer and an unsatisfied custiomer is more likely to write a review than a satisfied one. The truth lies somewhere in between.

Various castable sonar units have been on the market for a while, but I've never actually seen anybody using one.

I remember that from the commercials on the Jerry McKinnis show.
You could also get the wrist watch receiver.
I'm with MOZ, too much too lose to a tree, floating log etc.
But for the fisherman who has everything...or nothing why not.
