Whether you are looking for a simple switch on and go fishfinder, premium features without the premium price tag or to fish like the pros, Lowrance has the solution.
But how do you decide which fishfinder is right for you? You need to consider where you are fishing, what you are fishing for, how you are going to fish and what you want to spend for starters!
Once you have thought about your answers to these, you will need to move on to more specific questions such as…
Which transducer? – the transducer is what enables you to see below the water. Decisions include: how are you going to fit it – thru-hull or transom-mounted; what do you want to see on your screen – do you want to look ahead, below, to the sides; do you want CHIRP – if so what frequency – how deep are you fishing… so many things to consider! You can learn more about sonars and transducers here. You can also learn how to effectively use and read a fishfinder here.
Chartplotter, Fishfinder or combo – do you want to have chartplotting capability as well as fishfinding? This will affect which units you should consider
If you want to be able to map or track where you are fishing, see the depth, plan a route then you’ll need a chartplotter, if you simply want to cast and fish from your kayak you may just need a fishfinder model or even a castable…
Once you’ve considered all of the above then you can start thinking about which chartplotter you want to have…
Some of the options to choose from include:
