have ordered (still waiting for them to be built and waiting and waiting) 2 Thorne Brothers icefishing rods and a big rod case for them, I need one 1000 size reel to go with them and I am good to go with the ice&snow walker I built
I picked up a HDS8 today the same day I just put my boat away so I will not be able to use it till spring.. $1,449.99 after mail in rebate, because of the price had to buy it, might make a great icefishing fishfinder........
