Thread: Humminbird or lowrance

Iv'e had both and liked both. The only thing I would say with either one is to get something that will be repairable unless you plan to just throw it away after a few years. Especially with Lowrance. Many of their units are not repairable. First time you have a problem they want to sell you a new one. Tough decision. Good luck.

My buddy is the same way with his Onix and Solix he can't stand the fingerprints so he avoids touching the screen.

If you come over to the Eddy Creek area I would take you out to see the Helix 10 Mega on the water.

I'll take you up on that offer!! I'm just few miles away, I live in grand rivers, just name a day and time, I'd love to see it in action..

I would rather pay the upgrade fee for a new unit than the humminbird repair fee and have an out of date unit makes.

I like both,but prefer the touch units.Their both good units ,just do you research and don't let someone just push you to buy what they have because it's the best,been there done that.Im fixing to be running both brands on my boat,I have a touch 9 at the bow and hds 10 at the console.Fixing to add a helix 10 and 360 to my bow setup with a lakemaster lake card.Another thing,if your not gonna use your unit you may as well buy a basic finder and save your money.Just about everyone I talk to locally don't have a clue,I have probally scanned 60 hours this year and it will make a difference in your catch ratio
