Location: 31 | Haha, good stuff with the sunglasses... but I'm the old guy who's supposed to be set in his ways dude ? :).
Full disclosure; I used to think along those same lines until I began updating my antiquated equipment, and cannot imagine fishing without Structure Scan now. I think we are basically comparing an Impala and a Corvette here… yes, the Corvette looks a lot cooler but it will also outperform the Impala by a wide margin. However, one must be able step on the gas and be able to handle the Corvette to really appreciate the performance differences.
I hear what you're saying though, and I can't really comment on casting with SS. However, I can comment with a lot of insight on the advantages it has for muskie trolling, in a word… enormous.
You mentioned trolling weeds; I can map out a new area much more efficiently now, and the map will have greater detail than before too. I don't know about you, but I not only want to know where the weeds begin and end, points ect., but also where they are thicker and wider. On one particular body of water that I already had hundreds of hours on before SS, I basically ended up redoing my map… honestly, it was a little painful to find out how much I was missing before SS.
I don't do a lot of open water trolling, but locating and keeping track of baitfish with SS “almost” gives you an unfair advantage, but to each their own and I can certainly appreciate the fact that this stuff ain't cheap too.
