      It cost me about 1/4 the cost of a SIPS :) Not sure about the difference,but during those brief moments of great seeing I'll know the scope is right on!

      sander lucioperca vs sander vitreus, a simple wikipedia search took 5 seconds......maybe give that a try :)

      Search Wiki using Latin ? I have enough trouble with English, and if I knew the Latin name I would have known of their existance. Do recognise the name Walleye but cannot recall them refered to as Zander. I see it is the offical fish of Saskatchewan. I'll stick to coho.
