Gman Posted January 17, 2010 Report Posted January 17, 2010 Since it's the off season and spring is fast approaching coupled with the time of year most are doing research and trying to plan which unit to upgrade too I thought I'd share this thread I've been following with direct comparisons between Lowrance Downscan and Humminbird Down Imaging. Some great images here of the same structure take from both Lowrance & Humminbird - http://bbcboards.zeroforum.com/zerothread?...3630&page=1 I myself I"m looking forward to seeing how the downscan and side imaging performs this season out on the big water. Cheers, G.
aplumma Posted January 17, 2010 Report Posted January 17, 2010 Great post thanks for the link I can't wait till april to see what the update brings out on the Lowrance. Art
Tybo Posted January 17, 2010 Report Posted January 17, 2010 Always think, that brand new technology is great. The one thing is the price. So I tend to buy the technology that the new stuff replaced. I just payed 1400 less on 2 year old technology. I don't get the bragging rights that go along with new. But, At this day an age some newer technology is not better the the old.
aniceguy Posted January 17, 2010 Report Posted January 17, 2010 Gavin I just updated my humminbird today with the down scan its pretty sweet looking
Roy Posted January 17, 2010 Report Posted January 17, 2010 Gavin I just updated my humminbird today with the down scan its pretty sweet looking Which did you buy and where? Good price? edit: OOPS!
aniceguy Posted January 18, 2010 Report Posted January 18, 2010 Roy Radio world had the 997 for sale for 1395...an incridible deal considering most pro staff were at 1600 or something last year...
Fang Posted January 18, 2010 Report Posted January 18, 2010 Hey Ma looks like I need more $ this year, we gotta sell one of the kids!!! Thanks guys, I've narrowed my search down to the Humminbird 997 (and I'm a long time loya lowrance guy - never owned anything but) and just waiting for the spring fishing show
Dara Posted January 19, 2010 Report Posted January 19, 2010 I'm getting real close to pulling the pin on the HDS 7 with structure scan. any other opinions or experiences out there?
F7Firecat Posted January 19, 2010 Report Posted January 19, 2010 love my 997 cant wait to use the down imaging this year!
ecmilley Posted January 19, 2010 Report Posted January 19, 2010 i have the hds-8 on the ranger as the main graph and a hummingbird colour unit on the trolling motor while i like both units the hds is the best sonar i have ever seen for target detail can't wait to pick up the structure scan for it
