Wow, thanks everyone...lots of choices...I looked at the SA's and kinda wanting something fancier looking though I'm sure the SA's function just fine...thanks dudley, Micropteris...I looked at Trion and Tioga also...they looked great too, thanks mdram.

Jonezee, no kidding? The Pflueger isn't effected by the salt much? I have a few 1495's and only use them in fresh water...never occured to me they'd be ok in the salt, but what do I know? Thank you ! I haven't had a shot at a Hardy Zenith lately but I'll keep a watch for those too.

Thanks folks, I think I'm all set now !

Cheers,
