Fishing from a boat, and not a very fast boat. 20mph max.
I got looking at the Mustang hydrostatic ones. But at about 250 a pop, and 70 bucks to re-arm it. Ugggg. But I guess the hydrostatic design have to be submerged before they go pop.
Any ideas how often you have to change co2 cartridges on the cheap ones? The Mustang ones are 5 years.
Maybe i'll go with the manual activated ones. Mostly worried about someone getting bumped over the edge while trolling, and a few people rushing for a fishing pole, or bad weather.
The girlfriend that I fish with a lot isn't the best swimmer. And is the one pressuring me in this. I would much rather dump my money on a new rod, bigger fish finder, cool new gear.
Any ideas how long they stay inflated for? How long in cold water?
