If all you like to do is fish fallen trees along the shoreline I guess you don't need any of it.
I beg to differ. I fish laydown banks all the time. Not all trees are visible, and I don't have to spook the fish to find a new tree. I spend about 1/3 of my time on the water finding new spots. Side imaging is great. This was my first season with it, and I still have a ton to learn.
