I need some advice on some stuff i saw at ***** can you help long question...?

I am looking for some cool things to get my fiance for fathers day(he's the father of my child) I was thinking of a few things and was wondering if anyone has had any opinions on them...whether it's a waste of money or not. First of all there's a wireless fishfinder that goes on your wrist like a watch it's like $60 and then they have scales and i was wondering which one would be better a digital or regular...and i was thinking about a pair of waders but i'm wondering if they'll get in the way of his commando fishing styles(last time we were knee deep in mud fishing from the waterline...there's not a doubt in my mind he'd dive in for a fish..lol)will they make you stick in the mud more like shoes do?and last but not least is a


seahawk400kit*over11ft, three air chamber design, includes oars, pump, oar holders and fish pole holder good (like worth $70)?

The fishfinder is OK. I had one for a while but the battery in the transducer goes dead after a couple years and you have to buy another one. It doesn't have a high pixil count which basically means you cant see detail well. The higher the pixels, the better the unit is, but the more you will pay. If he primarily shore fishes, it is a good investment if your using it to find structure(which holds some fish species).





Scales:





Go with the digital scale. The more expensive, the better it will be. In other words, it will measure down to ounces and 1/10 of a gram (I think). The spring scales are often inaccurate, and hard to read, and...they pretty much just mark the lbs.





Waders, not sure...sorry. :-(








I am not a fan of smaller boats, so I'd say no on that also. But you never know, he might love it. It sounds like a good deal, but chances are your better off getting the most expensive equipment you can afford.





Remember as with anything else, you get what you pay for. If you buy junk, it won't last very long. The more you pay, the longer the equipment will last, provided he takes the time to properly maintain his equipment.








The previous poster sounds like a jerk. Obviously he doesn't know what the word "fiance" means. Sorry some people have nothing better to do than put down, on the internet none the less!
Reply:I would stick with one thing, not the fish finder to gimmicky and overpriced,


not the inflatable boat........


maybe the waders, but why don't you try a float tube setup.......


whatever you buy save the reciept so you can go back and say.........he rather have the ..........
Reply:The one guiding principle that I have when buying things for someone's hobby is that what seems cool to me is dorky for the recipient.





I would much rather get a Dick's gift card than a gift that I would not use. Your heart is in the right place. Get the gift card and cook him a nice meal.
Reply:Lots of things to consider, mostly is his style of fishing. The wireless fish finder is a good choice especially if fishing from shore or a pier. Digital is the way o go when it comes to scales. They are much more accurate and much easier to read, but when it comes to these as with most things, the more you spend the better it will be and more features it will have. Waders area pretty good choice, but there are just too many styles and types available. As for the boat, I would have to say probably not. I use a float tube and a pontoon boat, but both were over $200. At that price point, it just doesn't seem like it would be durable enough to survive very long.
Reply:Why don't you get him a Mariage License and make your child legitimate?
