only draw back is having to
tote around the 2nd rod
set up just for that.

That's fine for freshwater shore applications. Not practical for KAYAKS

well at my res (the chu) theres no boats allowed
but i wondered if it could be used at the canal
instead of relying solely on sight fishing
but probably wouldn't bcuz the current is too fast

maybe at slack tide
just thought it would be cool to
drift the unit and stay riding matching your speed
to see whats what was all... on your wrist

i know -> wishful thinkin

But this is the Kayak Forum and I think we're talking kayaks here.

Who says that you HAVE to cast it?
I had the one with the wrist display, and all I did was tie it to 30 lb. mono and tie it to the kayak and paddle/drift slong.

As for swaltwater applications, it would be better suited for a kayak/boat because using it from shore will only tell you where the fish WERE, not where they are going. Remember that most saltwater fish move constantly, and when they aren't, they're feeding, which you don't normally need a fishfinder to tell you.
Using one in the canal would be like using a bobber. It may tell you if there are fish, but since they are on the move as well as the current, it would be hit-or-miss if you get lucky.
