In search of a new Fish Finder?

Posted on by

I just purchased a new Bass boat and want to upgrade the Fishfinder. I’m at a complete stalemate as to which one to purchase.Hummingbird – Lowrance.I like color,I like black and white. Confusing.I would like one with fish symbols and fish depth verification.Gps would be a plus,but not needed.On the gps models, do you always ave to have em split screen? Better to have a single beam or a tri-beam? Something easy to read without a sun glare would be brilliant.Just thought I would see what everyones take on em was.
Ole fisherman- I ave a budget of bout 4- 500 tops ave any suggestions in that range and Oi “CYGNUS” if you can’t answer a question properly,piss off to something you know bout and stop wasting my time…

Can I use 45 lb test backing for fly fishing for lighter fish?

I’ve got a 5 weight rod/reel and 5 floating WF line. I need backing. There’s some 45 lb test cheep. Can I use it?

According to the box: “45 lb. line fits in the space of 125 yds. of conventional 20 lb.” Will this work on my setup or should I throw in the extra money and go for a smaller backing?

Thanks!

Confusing fish finder problem?

Recently I bought a 12 ft. V-hull aluminum boat and the guy threw in an eagle fish I.d. Plus fishfinder. There is the fishfinder, transducer, speed detector, and a wire that has 3 wires sticking out of it and I’m pretty sure that they connect to some kind of battery but it didn’t come with a battery or battery pack of any kind I really want to hook it up by the time I’m done restoring the boat. If you could tell me what I’m missing, the price of it, and how much it costs you would be helping me Alot. Thanks

Right now I have a fishfinder/depth finder on my boat (garmin fishfinder 240). and i’m interested in getting a gps for my boat to follow the weedlines and stuff. I’ve been looking at some lowrances and they seem like what i want i think. most of the pics show the gps of like the ocean. so i’m wondering if the will show all the lakes like in MN… also should i get a GPS unit solo or should i get one that has the split screen gps/depthfinder/fishfinder?

please help me on what gps i should get and why!!!!
