Features that are a must are a temperature feature, adequate readability on fish, back lit screen (I fish at night some), ease use, easy to hookup and unhook (to take in/out of my boat), and reasonable cost. As of now, another Bottom Line rig is high on my list but I thought I might ask for some advise.
