Thanks Kevin,

The bow mount 44lb sounds great for the price but do you think that it will be ok in my 4.25 edgy ?? it has a 2m beam.. what abouts in towoomba are they selling it for $499 ??

Thanks, Mau

Mate, they are at mullet gut marine in ruthven st toowoomba, 44lb should be ok but they do have a 54lb likewise for $799, the 44 is a real bargain

cheers kevin

I have frequented BCF a lot of late and one of the staff who seems to have befreinded me a little has told me there are quite a few bad reports coming through on the watersnake. As I was on my way out of the store I got to chat to a perfect stranger (fellow fisherman) who asked me about SP's because I was holding a few packs and then he told me about his mate who purchased one of the new watersnakes. It fried first use apparently. I don't know but I think I would prefer to go for the name I could trust if I was in the market for one. Minn Kota have a good name and it seems it is worth saving up a bit longer for one. $400 is a lot to pay for something that is going to bugger up sooner rather than later IMHO.
