GS:
My existing is a hummingbird, I bought it about 8 years ago.
It is a basic model, which was around 200$ then.
It does mark fish, and I can tell how deep it is, but I
feel I am definately losing something when there is bait around
or schools of bottom fish around (cod etc.).
WhenI get marks on myy hummigbird, I dont know if its bait or
bigger fish, the little fish symbols crowd together.
I was thinking that a sounder (with actual sonar signal) gives more detail and if learned well will provide better knowledge of what is down there.
I have seen a couple of lowrance units on boats I've been on, but I think like John said the pros use furuno.
A guy I work with says look into the transducer (construction/sensitivity), thats where
the real "heart" of the unit is.
More input is welcome
thanks,
V.
