I have a BH 505 that I had bought for my girlfriend, and she really did not get into dirt fishing like I hoped. It has only been used twice, and comes with a small sniper coil. This has the VDI and is one of the higher end of the Bounty Hunters. I have a DFX, and have no need for this as a second machine as I am looking at getting one of the White's Vision machines and will use my DFX as a backup/loaner. These run $300 new, and would make a greate starter machine for a youngster or anyone looking at starting into the hobby. $150 money order gets it shipped to the lower 48.
