I have been using the Ciscos for the last couple years. When you look at the build quality of them, it is hard to imagine that they would ever fail. They will probably outlast you :-).

I already had track and several tubes, so I elected to go with the Riser/Tubes rather than the trees when I decided to go all in for walleye trolling.

The setup works great, but if I was starting from scratch, I would probably go with the trees simply because they take up so much less space on the boat.

When it comes to trees, I'd go with these from Blue Water. They have a ball joint that allows for unlimited tube angle positioning -->Welcome to Blue Water. I looked at them all. These impress me the most.

Here is how my setup looks. All cisco products. You'll notice that the heights of the Risers are staggered. Which is recommended to keep the lines from crossing.

Feel free to IM me if you need more info.
