    Default researching


    I have a Lowrance Elite7 Chirp on the front of my stick steer boat. I have been doing a lot of research on the Garmin Striker 7 sv. I hate the idea that I can't get the GT 52 transducer. Now, Lowrance has come out with the new Hook 2 7x tripple shot with the same 2d, down scan, and side imaging, and GPS plotter as the Garmin at the price of the Garmin on sale for last years model.The hook 2 7x is supposed to require less tuning. I am not into mapping, way points and already have GPS on my other unit. Am I doing too much research? Am I overlooking something? It is too late after you have pulled the trigger, whatever was overlooked will have to be lived with.Thanks to everyone for your input. I appreciate all comments...........crappie1133

    At the rate that sonar has improved in just the past couple of years now. I am thinking if a person bought the biggest best thing out there by next year it would be obsolete as the newer better models that will come out. Just 4 or 5 years ago a 10" SI model cost over $2,000.00 and just lately some 10" SI models were selling for less than $850.00 with a way better screen view. A lot of times people see fish on there sonar and they don't trust what they see enough to fish it.
    So I would say learn to use and "trust" what you have to the best of your ability and just fish more.
    Be safe and good luck fishing

    I think this is excellent advice!

    Has any one used the Humming Bird locators with CHIRP? Are they better than the last models without the CHIRP feature?
