I've been leaning more towards the Proline 2.5'' or 3'' because of what I've read about the big difference in quality. I have a strategy for clean-up already so I'm good there. I do know that there's gold and I want to recover it though.

I will be working by myself most of the time. I haven't had an opportunity to see one of them in action so I don't have a good comparison in my mind. I'm not sure if the 3'' will be too big for what I want to do or not. I've been looking at Proline and Keene, at both the 2.5'' combos and the 3'' combos. There's a lot of highbanking potential as well, and I'm not sure yet whether I'll be doing more highbanking or dredging.

I will be using it in a local stream that varies in depth from 1' to 3', with the odd hole here and there that can go down to 4' or 5' or more in the spring.

I just can't decide on what size or brand I should get. I've been thinking of getting a dredge/highbanker combo for the last few years and I'm finally able to get one.
