I have a Dual beam 20/60 on my trolling motor. Thanking about adding a Quadra beam 20/60/90 degree transducer to the tramsom. With the 90 deg. beam would have coverage of 2X THE DEPTH. Have any of you used the quadra beam and what did you think of it. Would cost about $170.00 for transducer and switch. Or spend $300 to $490 for Down Imaging unit? The side image is out of my price range.
I used quadrabeam for two years and liked it very much. The wide angle beam shows you what's along side of the boat & that's all you need in many cases. My GPS marked BPs and other "blind" structure. Using the quadrabeam unit I could arrive at a GPS waypoint and quickly fine tune my location.
If you fish ~6' or less normally I would go with the quadrabeam. If you usually fish deeper than that, I would personally go with the di. I had a qb for a while, and I didn't really see much out of it in deeper water. Maybe I didn't have it set right, I don't know, not really impressed that much with it in deeper water.
HB Quadrabeam...
Looks pretty useful to me and I plan to follow this thread to learn something
That looks pretty good, looks like it would be useful.
I have a quadbeam sonar for TM and a switch that I'm not using anymore if anyone interested.......
