Fish Finder

[onyourway]

Hey guys,

I was wondering if someone could help me choose a new fish finder/sounder. At the moment i'm running a battling old school 300 series hummingbird which is giving me the Sugar Honey Iced Tea'S and has no doubt hindered my efforts to reel in that big kingie. I have a mate that runs a lowrance finder which was apparently quite cheap and does a very good job. looking to spend a little more this time around approx $350 - $400. Would of course love to spend less but i'd like to get a quality finder that will have a good life span and of course find me some top fishing spots.

Any and all suggestions would be much appreciated.

cheers

Ben

G'day Ben,

Definately worth throwing a few more bucks and getting something with GPS and or Plotter. Will then be able to save your secret spots and much easier to navigate in inclement weather.

a good cheap sounder is a furuno LS 4100 from bias at about 450 bucks. top sounder for the cash and picks up the fish very well.

i had one on my older boat.

i have a Garmin FF140 i need to get rid off cause i upgraded. used for 1yr but good as new.

make me an offer if you like

thanks for the feedback guys i really appreciate it. Caine thanks for the offer but i'm going to go for a brand newie, so i know what its been through, plus half the excitement is unwrapping, just like an early xmas prezzie.

I have a separate hand help gps but i think it might be an idea to go with a sounder that has gps built in.

Thanks again guys.

The Lowrance x125 was touted as being an excellent sounder, I picked one up for the new boat and so far it's exceeded my expectations.
