Fish Finder Suggestions

[Smitty1]

Hey Guys

 

My buddies wife gave me a call tonight - she wants to get him a fish finder for his b-day - and asked me for a recommendation - she said it does not have to be colour - since he is colour blind - price range is about $150-$200. I really like the customer service with Lowrance...but I would like some suggestions - we usually fish small lakes and rivers - some trolling - I know he mentioned he wanted something that shows baitfish with maybe temp and speed.

 

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

 

thanks

Dunno what to say actually...in that price range but,

EAGLE..(byLowarance), has a decent selection and are fairly reputable as well in that price category.

If he's colour blind theres not much wrong with the GreyScale finders.........I actually like them quite a bit.

Not Eagle ..but Ive a greyScale mounted on the bow of my boat and its a decent read.

Have your buddies wife check out ...

www.lowrance.com

...you'll find them there as well the features that accompany them.

.if she can.....suggest opting for a dual frequency cone for more coverage.

colour blind as in only sees in black and white or colour blind as in there is a few colours he cannot distinguish apart? For less than $200 though colour is not on the shopping list

 

Popular models with good reviews, all have 320x320 resolution:

 

lowrance x97 at $200

Eagle Fishmark 320 ($170 at radio world)

Humminbird 717 $200

 

At less resolution and very inexpensive the Eagle Cuda 168 can be had for less than $100 new.

 

me? I was too cheap and bought a used one for my first FF a humminbird 525....
