I have a portable fishfinder aka Canadian Tire special for when I am in a canoe or 12 foot boat. I also have another Canadian Tire special in my 16 foot boat. One is humminbird and the other lawrance but at the bottom of the sophisticated scale. Compare that to my brothers 900 series side scanning humminbird and and GPS incorporated lawrance and I am using an abacus he is using scientific calculator....lol.

I run a lowerance 47 and it is not the best on the market, i would like to put it on my bow with the transducer on my bow mount motor and get a sonar/chart plotter at the console, but that is when I get enough money and that far down the priority list.

Larvae Posts: 7 Group: Regular Member Member #166 Joined: Jan 13, 2009	My lowrance just caved in at the end of the soft water and I will be replacing it come spring with a colour unit and for the hardwater we run an LX-3 and LX-5 Marcum . I've tested so many flashers and sonar and will continue to for the hardwater that my eyes even spin but such is the life of a prostaffer for some of this stuff . There is alot of gear out there and it just continues to grow . We use a H2o for a gps and also a 76 for garmin . I just can't get the hang of them because I'm just too used to following a compass or my nose to direct me and just have little interest in gps . TD Edited by trapperdirk, Jan 15 2009, 09:38 AM.
