Looking to upgrade. Is side image worth the extra cost (crappie and bream only)? I've also read some are not reliable in less than 6', want to stay away from those. Appreciate any advise.

You won’t go wrong with a Humminbird Mega Chirp G2N.
Thanks, do you recommend side image?
I use Lowrance, but do recommend side imaging. I can drive by a dock and look and see if there are any fish under it. Helps when looking at brush piles too, if I don’t hit the waypoint exact.
Yes, and if I’m not mistaken, all the Humminbird Mega Chirp units are 360 compatable, but don’t quote me on that.Quote:

Does the optional transducer make a big difference?
The 360 transducer is a additional $850 -$1000 according to where you get it from. I recommend BBG Marine on the inter net. Brian is a super nice guy. Last week on my 360, I watched a fish turn and hit my jig. That was super cool. It all boils down to what you want and are willing to spend.Quote:

Thank, Ray
I think he was referring to the HDSI transducer. I'm not very fond of the 360. It's nice for spider rigging but I dont rig much.Quote:
