The shops here in Dublin seemed to stock plenty of the smartcast ones quite some time ago. Now they are all doing deals and such trying to get rid of them. I think they might be handy for getting the depth and maybe pointing out some features...... Maybe

Think it may be underpowered for salt water, just wanted something for Kayak fishing.
