I am preparing a fishing gear review.Yes, products come and go. I loaned my ocean fishing unit from Exploration Products to a friend crossing the Pacific. I went to buy a new unit today.They are discontinued ! I had purchased one of the last units less than a few months ago. Listing weights is a valid point, but subjective. The term penny wise but pound foolish comes to mind. Weight can be taken to the extreme. I own the M-6 survival rifle ( heavily modified), having trained with one in Arctic Survival School. I can tell you if I was in the Arctic I would choose a different hunting piece of considerably more heft and caliber. But then Im niether a C-130 loadmaster or J-3 supercub bushpilot. Ill pull out my reloading and horsepacking scales and make a start.<br><br>
