HD Side Imaging Sonar

[stan_133]

just wondering what people have to say HD Side Imaging. I'm not looking to buy it yet because of the price but i am wondering if it hold up to what the manufactures say it to be. Hummingbird seems to be one of the main pushers out there, but if someone has a better product I'm all ears.

nobody else has a product out there yet for side imagining other than hummingbird (that is affordable) but!!!

 

lowrance announced at the 2009 bassmaster classic that in late 2009 they will have a add on pack for the new hd units for side imaging

 

 

 

but the hummingbird units are sweet drive by the docks to see if a bass is under them saves alot of time pre-fishing for tournies for sure

my guess is that once theres a few companies in the mix prices will slowly come down.

My guess with Lowrance, like the rest of their products, is that it'll cost a lot more...

 

now figure a basic lowrance HDS Unit is $1000+ and i'd say atleast $300+ for the Side imaging... and you're at $1500 give or take for a 5" screen... the same humminbird is $1000 give or take...
