I have tried the sickle bar (a new one). I would be willing to sell it. Probably has only 10 hours on it. I find the best thing for keeping the edge clean is a bush hog that gets within about 1 to 2.5 feet of the edge of the lakes, then I use a sprayer mounted on the back of my Polaris Ranger with round up. Probably cost about $10 worth of round up each time a spray my 2.5 and 3.5 acre lakes. Money well spent and very safe.
