We just got back from our annual Glen weekend and Down Vu/Down Imaging paid for it's self. It was key in determining if a brush pile or break had fish on it or not.
The more you use them the more you learn to use them and it will pay off. I am a Humminbird guy so completely biased but I would never go back to just DI. There is just too much information available just out to the sides of your boat that you would probably miss without SI. I personally use the SI then switch over to the 2d color split screen a lot more than the DI. I have a 858c DI on the TM and a 998 HD on the console. As soon as I am able to afford it I am getting a 1199 and selling the 858c Di units....I have two but only use one.
No matter which brand you get they are both good. In the end hook in water catches fish.....but the electronics gives you a better chance of making it happen.
Well I bought a Lowrance HDS 7 Touch with the LSS transducer. Shipped today, so hope to have it in service next week.

Do you have a Ram mount on it, or just the factory bracket?Quote:

i still use just a flasher and still catch plenty of fish????
If all I want to do is catch fish I'll head to a couple farm ponds and pull out more crappie than you can shake a stick at. When I want to have fun I get out the boat and see what I can find.Quote:
