On the fence about which to get? I currently have regular 360 and like it. But the more I watch and see about livescope and the way I fish think it's the nuts!! So question is should I go ahead and just get livescope and don't worry about new mega 360 coming out? Or is there any rumor with a new version of livescope coming out I should wait on?
It depends on how you mainly fish. If you are a single poller, definitely Live Scope.
Spider rigging I think the 360 is more beneficial

Thanks. Are you currently useing both?
This is just a old mans opinion. I had the pleasure of fishing with Slab Slayer and Dirt Track for a day couple of weeks ago. They are running both at same time. They have the 360 hooked to a helix 10 and Livescope finder above it. They have that 360 so dialed in it was unbelievable to me the quality of the pictures. And if mega is better than that was it’s going to be super impressive. Now to my opinion, I think to be real sucessfull I’d want both running in conjunction. Even spider rigging. Hunt down fish with SI and follow with 360 then target with Livescope. I have my opinions on all this new technology but it is the wave of the future.
I run both, old 360, not mega.
They are just 2 different tools.
Both has its time and place.
I’m not going Mega, but I may pick up an extra 360 used for s backup.

It was a good time. I’m still running both but now have upgraded to 12” screens on both. [emoji2]. The eye sight isn’t what it use to be Cray.Quote:

I can't afford either so I think they should outlaw them.
I’m with you [emoji23]Quote:

I would definitely hold out to see what 2020 brings in the next few months, on both mega 360 and possibly gen 2 live scope. If I was a guide or a big time tourney fisherman then both wold be considered an asset tool used to conduct business. As far as a weekend warrior or whenever I get the time I can't justify the expense. And on another thought, I still enjoy the chase and actually fishing for them critters. I would hate to ever tarnish or kill my child like spirit of just figuring them out as opposed to watching them and forcing them to bite. I dunno, but would definitely hold off a few months or otherwise end up with ancient technology :Rofl
Live Scope is a novelty to me. If I had it to do over, I would go with the 360. My 2cts.
i thought i would do livescope decided on mega 360 myself
Please explain. Its a heck of an investment for me and I really want to know the diff please.Quote:

I’m going to wait about 10 years and buy a used live scope. I got hb598 di unit last year and this year I got gen1 helix 5 with si/di and I still haven’t figured either out.

I like my 360. However I don't get awesome pictures on it like they advertise but its running to a 999 also which could be the reason but it is Great for seeing structure. I'm just wanting to add Livescope. Guess I need to hire a quide with livescope to show me what I'm missing out on not having livescope. I would love to see it first hand before pulling the trigger on one.
If you was a little closer to me, I would be glad to show youQuote:

Thanks!! Well if your ever in north ms and want to get on a few fish let me know. I'm no guide by no means but always know where a few fish are.
LiveScope hands down!!! I have LiveScope and 360 on my boat right now and there is NO comparison. I even have the Lowrance LiveSight. LiveScope clobbers it also.

One draw back that I see is just like anything else the bigger the screen the better. From what I can tell with a 12” screen it’ll be close to $4000. IMO the pics and videos I’ve seen , the image isn’t great or at least it isn’t as good as HB image. I know it’s live but it’s still lacking. I think in a year or two it’ll be great. Think about the difference between gn1 and gn3 HB Si and di. I can add the mega 360 for $1200 or so. Big difference.

Man that side scan is something?? I finally got one of them things this past year and wow!! If the 360 or livescope is any better, I might forget who I was and buy a guide license!!Quote:

Live scope and Garmin 12” would cost 3,500 - $4,000. Is it worth the difference to switch to garmin? Btw. I am 70 and retired so money don’t come easy.

I’ll sell you a brand new LiveSight for 650, but I don’t think it’ll work with gen3 units. Must be a carbon, or Live unit I think.Quote:

Just saw an awesome YouTube of both units in same boat. The cone on the Garmin is 20 degrees with 130 angle view. The site unit was 40 degree cone with a 9 0 degree angle view. Like BEN stated microscope for crappie !! The live site will show more structure. Bass anglers probably just buy both!!!

I was hummingbird. Then went Lowrance!!! Life partner CEO says NO more boat stuff!!mmmmm
Hope everyone gets both for Christmas!!!!!
I jumped ship at the bow. I sold my Helix 10DI Mega+ g3n and went with a Livescope setup with 93SV. I will not be selling my Helix 12SI Mega g2n that I use at the console.
