Price point – At $289 MSRP, it competes with Shimano Tranx and Daiwa Lexa. Fix: Wait for seasonal sales or look for "second-run" UPD models (minor cosmetic blemishes) at 20% off.

The Bully UPD makes a good pocket tug better. The hardtop and water tank alone are worth the upgrade. If you’ve been on the fence, this is the time to look.
