spinnerbaitking Posted January 9, 2011 Report Posted January 9, 2011 I've thought of getting a Hummingbird Side scan a few times but heard about the Lowrance coming out with theirs so I waited, then I thought it wouldn't be worth the Money for my Small boat & the lakes I fish, but then I fish a lot of different lakes & I'm starting to fish bigger Lakes, are you happy with yours SBK
Terry Posted January 9, 2011 Report Posted January 9, 2011 the down look is great I believe the HDS5 screen is too small for all the features I really believe you need an 8 or 10
aplumma Posted January 9, 2011 Report Posted January 9, 2011 I run the hds7 with the LSS=1 module and it is like an Xray below the water. I wish I could put it on all my boats but for now it is on the one I use in big water. Art

mbac31 Posted January 11, 2011 Report Posted January 11, 2011 I have the HDS-10, HDS-8 with LSS-1 as well as the Sonic Hub right now. I have the software from Doc sampson as well for making and charting lakes. I love mine. If you want to know anything about them feel free to give me a shout. I have them figured out very nicely right now. I just ordered my Elite 5 " dsi for a portable. I also use a HDS-8 as my ice fishing unit. Once you go to these you will never go back. I'm finding structure on lakes I never knew were there. I have even found stuff like a Car on Scugog, Huts on Simcoe and other lakes. I would never find this stuff without LSS-1. Amazing the difference you see with 2d to Structure View.
