Need depth finder around or under $300
I know this has been on here a bunch before but I didn't need a depth finder then. I need to replace my front depth finder (trolling motor mount). I usually catfish the MS River but occasionally like to Crappie fish. I certainly don't need some of the fine electronics I've seen on here before but I would like something nice that a novice can learn to use correctly. I have looked at these:
Garmin Striker 5 DV?
Humminbird Helix 5 DI?
Lowrance Hook 4?
.
How important is "downscan"? Do I need it?
I got some Reward points to use so anything from BassPro would be a bonus.
Thanks for any input/suggestions.
