Thanks Chuck. I ordered a few flushables for shits and giggles. We have
a bunch of 4" ducts we need to trace ASAP. I'll look at ordering a 12"
Leica one or the 17" D23 if it isn't too expensive.

The leica duct sonde 33 (12") is $440. It obviously isn't the same as a
HDD sonde but I wonder if the longer antenna coil would help. There are
also sondes like the Metrotech D23 which is a flexible sonde: 0.9" x 17.3"
(23mm x 456mm).
Am I flushing money down the toilet? Should I just buy a few
Those systems start at $12K on up for new. And the sondes are pretty large.

Thanks Chuck, Do you think a 12" duct sonde might work better? I am going
to need to try to find an adapter to connect it to my rodder.

Steve,
I've seen the flushable sondes and wondered why they cost $35 when the
regular ones cost
Not the SPX25. You're thinking of an HDD. This is what I'm working with:
