I can't speak for other models, but I have used an Eagle Fisheasy 320C for three years and it has never lied to me.
I run it on default setting where it shows fish profile and depth, bottom type ,and surface temp. I rarely fish depths over 40 ft.
I'm really supprised that Eagle is still in business if mine is the only one that isn't lying. They did discontinue my model this year and replaced it with a 350 that looks the same except the case is now black so it will soak up more heat. Same $200 high price range.
I wouldn't even turn a finder on at 5 ft.
If I wanted a finder for that shallow I would set up with a Vexilar FL8 and supressor cable.
I did try an Eagle 242? once and it lied from the bottom to top. Screen was filled with trash constantly.
