hello,

I am in the market for 2. What do you guys suggest??

We just got our buts kicked by snow storm and guess durability ought to be top on the list. and perhaps solar powered or at least battery powered.

What do you guys have experience with??

Can't go wrong with a Texas Hunter if you're looking for a spin-cast type. I've got 4 of them, 2 of them 6 yrs old and all I've done to one was replace a battery.
