    Ice Rod Case

    I'm sure this subject has been touched on millions of times but I want some first hand opinions once again. Been looking for a hard sided ice rod case.

    Bit the bullet and picked up a TUCR precision noodle and match it with the Shimano Sienna. Decided to get the suffix flourocarbon to put on it for panfishing.

    Marcum Underwater Camera

    I seen Scheels had a deal on a Marcum vs485c, was wondering if anyone had any experience with these units or the 625c model. Is it worth $300 to get the 485? Never used a camera much so not sure how advantageous it would be. Think it would be interesting to see what's down there from time to time.

    Tailrace

    Was just curious if it's possible to get a boat in and head toward the power plant? Is there any concerns as far water depth as it fluctuates at night time.

    Hydrofoils

    I got a 16ft Lund Mr. Pike with a 45hp Mariner. The boat is equipped with tabs as well as a hydrofoil. What are the benefits of the hydrofoil and is it worth keeping on? The boat max's at about 20-22mph which seems a little slow but I could be overthinking it.
