    Default Looking for fishfinder Any reconmendations


    I was wandering if the Helix 5 would be a good choice. I more than likely will not buy this season but would like to know more.

    I recently bought one and I love it. Got the Helix 5 Di Sonar/GPS combo. Screen's not as big as the high dollar models but it suits me just fine without getting the ole uni-brow look from my wife.
    Everything is possible. The impossible just takes longer!

    isn't there always?? I bought a 998 6 months ago and it' was out-dated before I got it and I'm still trying to learn it. now it's 999 and tomorrow it'll be 9999 or something. always something new coming down the pike

    I'm very happy with my Helix -5. I have a freind who has a 899 and he likes mine more than his.

    I have had my helix 5 fur about two months and am just starting to learn the settings to adjust it better. I am more impressed all the time,the detail is amazing it's hard to fish sometime for riding around looking at things.

    I know they are a little expensive but I really like the hds Lowrance, but I've never used hummingbird to give you a comparison. I just started with Lowrance and stuck with them.

    If you are close to Draffinville Ky go see Matt at Bass and Gas. He has very good deals on everything they can install if you want they will help you with upgrades and they have a great service department.
