I'm totally new to sonar. I bought this basic unit to learn. I'm having trouble wrapping my head around a screen image of structure I'm on top of. Thanks for the help. AIRBORNE !!!
Thanks for review!. My bass tracker came with one and although I bought a Garmin echomap 93sv for my main unit I still plan on using the Hook. I will probably mount it on the bow so the bow guy is not fishing blind.
Ever thought about turning on the A scope instead if possible. I did that on my garmin 4 and it worked wonders, but I’m not sure if lowrance offers it as a setting.
The GPS also lets you know your speed over ground if you want to have something that tells your boat speed or if you have a indicator in the water it can tell you the difference between speed over ground and speed in the water so you can tell what the current is.
This came OEM on my '21 Bass Tracker Classic. After having expensive GPS units and downscan, I learned to love this simple unit. And no lie, this graph has been the most accurate graph Id ever had marking actual fish. Do not use the fish icon option, and adjust the sensitivitey a little less. Only gripe is it reads surface clutter all the time under 5ft of water.
Good video, thanks for sharing. Bought the same device for my dad, who has bad luck of cathing fish. He tried that, but apparently didnt understand much of it. I try tomorrow explain how it works. I sure hope we catch something :D
I have the gps version. I tried to mount it on my trolling motor and every time I turned the trolling motor on it went crazy! There was suddenly a screen full of marked fish and clutter. Guess I'll hafta move it...
Can you please answer me about this question... Can I use it in saltwater because I live by the Mediterranean Sea and how much is the depth by meters!! And does it really show fish because I never used one before... Thanks
Horizontal orientation doesn't show you more of the current bottom of the water. It shows you more historic (in the last few minutes or moments) data. In 2023 you think Lowrance would make it an option to have it vertical or horizontal. There are tight place applications for the vertical orientation
how does the unit attatch to the base & is the wiring just plugged in to where i can just remove it easily after each trip? im sure its pretty simple but i dont want to leave it on the boat when not using it, just cant trust ppl anymore these days its pretty sad! i went steelhead fishing in Oregon came out the next day & my bearing buddys were gone off both wheels, im like wtf they didnt fall off cuz i checked them with my hand for heat & what not when i stopped for the night! luckily i carry a spare loaded BT8 hub, dust caps, & lug nuts with me just in case i have wheel bearing issues i wont be stuck on the highway some where between Oregon & Nevada!
I just bought one from Wal - Mart and used a coupon to get it for $93 shipped to my door, I plan to mount it to my minn - kota Endura C2 / 55lbs /42in shaft, you need to take the difference of being deeper than being mounted to the bottom of boat.
I have the same one was pretty good I used it for fishing off the piers.. made a battery box for it mostly fish off of pears I don't have a boat so I'm stuck fishing on Piers
My screen stays cluttered up. You can’t see any definition between the surface to the bottom. I tried lowering sensitivity to a really low setting but same crap. How can I clear up the screen?
Dude is doing a fish finder review while the civil war is going on in the background
I almost spit my drink out, when I read this comment
Lol I kept saying to myself....is that gunfire in the background....yep it is....
That's pretty normal in the country on a weekend. I hear autos all the time over the ridge behind our house.
And no there aint a base or range anywhere near me lol
Thats not the Civil War going on thats just a bunch of rednecks fishing with dynamite proving you dont need a fishfinder!

Do i hear the sounds of freedom in the background??? Ahhhh music to my ears

Where is the video where you actually installed it as mentioned around 7:30 in this video?
That flasher mode is one of the best ways to fish like livescope without having it if your on top of bait

I just got one and am putting it on my new BKC PL13
Thanks for the info…
Spearhead!!!!!
Stay safe

Mine shows clutter from surface to bottom at all times. I have tried lowering sensitivity and other settings. Still cluttered up
@@bobbyrobbins9816 might not be mounted deep enough. It picks up turbulence

thing came on my tracker pro 170. Will be upgrading very soon.
I have a 170 also, I need a upgrade also😅

Have you added coordinates to create a waypoint?
Great review!!

The lower the frequency of the transducer the better for deep water
What Army post was that? I live on top of Ft Hood (Cavasos) on the range side, my house rattles all the time. I like it tho.
Thank you for this video brother
Are you fishing around South Georgia?

Is it portable ... usable on shore or only boat mounted? Thanks.
😂

This reply is 3 months late, but yes- you can unplug and removing from the cradle is as simple as pinching two tabs together.
Recommend best settings for this ?
How can you adjust the sensitivity?
Does it tell you your speed
Good to see you doing well my friend. Great product review. ❤️🌲🪓🙏🏻👊🏻
John it’s good to hear from you, I see you channel is getting bigger. I’ve been watching some of the shorts you’re uploading.
I prefer the horizontal, as I can easily see if I'm heading into dangerous shallows, of which there be many lurking hereabouts *looks around nervously
Anyone know how accurate it actually is as in marking depth of water and marking fish?

Why you triggering my PTSD in the background, GOT damn
I’m looking for a fishfinder… for fishing

Thank you! Very helpful tutorial. Stay safe-you need a helmet and bullet proof vest out there!
I have the same one was pretty good I used it for fishing off the piers..
made a battery box for it mostly fish off of pears I don't have a boat so I'm stuck fishing on Piers

Mines the same way.... 🙄
