Question on fish finders

[wiperhunter2]

I know there has been a lot of Humminbird haters on the post, don't be afraid of the bird, they are great units.. To me I know the live scope is the top of that field, but I really don't like the Garmin finders for other fishing displays and it's probably just what you learned to use by reading the manuals and all, but I'm sticking up for the bird.... They have their specific strengths, to me the 360 tech is amazing and nobody else has something like that, but that tech doesn't work everywhere either, it's the only way to go on shallow water though..  Anyway not wanting to start the battle, but just wanting to let ya know that Humminbird units are great finders as well.  It sounded like you were going that direction so I wanted to let you know there are others that really like those units even if most of the posters seemed to be Garmin guys...  I think whatever you get, read the manuals so you know how to operate it and you'll love it... Good luck... J

I agree with you on the bird being great finders Jeff. I just wish I could afford one of their 12" displays, instead of the 8 and 9" models I have now. Maybe I'll get lucky one day and find one for a good price or someone will upgrade their old one and offer their old one to me at a discounted price . IMO finders are just like cars and trucks, they all make good models but there are strong preferences for one or the other.
