I'll tell you what I am going to do when I buy the Angler pro. I am going to buy a second Mirage unit and store it in the hull.

With the Angler. I'll be offshore, and it the Mirage breaks, I don't want to paddle it. The entire Mirage unit price is $460.95. That's a good bit of money, but its a small investment when compared to being stuck in the Gulf of Mexico. I suspect the chances of a problem are minimal, but I would rather spend a few hundred more and greatly increase my safety factor.
That's my plan, and I'm stickin' to it!!

Also remember that fishing with braided line you will a greater chance of the line cutting the fin under your yak then loosing the whole MD.
