In general, the TI units are faster in response to inputs. This is seen when quickly switching between sonar, downscan, chart, and split screens ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxeAxH15LxhjGlg5-CRYqjTGTEH0tbY4vk recommend The Hook units will show some lag on button pushes and screen switching. The big ticket item though is maps. If you install a mapping card such as Navionics or the free C-Map Genesis which has a lot of map detail, then moving around the map with the cursor or when running down the lake can lag significantly on the Hook units, but is seamless with the TI units.
Thursday I will most likely be going fishing. So I’ll be sure to get some video footage of this unit out on the water. BOLO for that video! Maybe uploaded Thursday night of Friday morning.
Not sure if I'm getting images of trees and brush definitely get images of drop offs any more suggestions I really loved the way you explained this fish locator now I have my fish alarm on
Thanks for watching my video. I have another video using on the water. I still use it to this day. Very pleased with it. If you would like you could watch my other video in this link. ua-cam.com/video/lr8g04bsJtg/v-deo.html The basics settings that I explained in my first video are good enough right out of the box. I hope this information helps you.
Great review even if it's 2 years old to me. I soon will need to replace my old eagle fish finder. I see that this hummingbird is still 139.00 at Wal-Mart, but it is 99.00 at my local Bass Pro Shop. 👍
Just FYI I bought the same one from cabelas and for an extra thirty bucks I got a 2 year extended warranty in store replacement and if they no longer have that one they give you next upgrade.
U should support the wire From the transducer down ,ease it towards the 2 supporting screws cause this way the water current will pressure it towards the opposite way
i HAVE THE MAX not the DI model . Mine has down imaging too but the trasducer is much smaller. Which way do you point the transducer and how far below the water should it be?
I bought that same one last summer I went to go use it today and it doesn’t power on anymore 🤦🏽♂️ I freakin only used it for 2 months last year. I never ever left it on the boat i always removed off the boat when I was done fishing and stored it inside the house . This sucks !!
Chasingwaves 😡 I would be upset man! That’s ridiculous. Mine still works fine. I’m like you when I’m done fishing I bring the unit in the house. Have you contacted Humminbird?
@@rjguess Right !! always being super careful with the fishing stuff lol .. today I was able to take another look at it when I came home from work . I took my multi meter and disconnected the power wire and found out there was a break in the that tiny wire!!! where it came through the floor of my John boat so now it WORKS !! 😁😁😁 happy as a pig in shit lol .. I defiantly got lucky I was not up to contacting hummingbird and trying to get this fix. When I took it to the lake to fish that day it was already close to dark and didn't have my tools with me It was Hot as Hell during the day and it finally cooled down a bit all I wanted to do was Fish on Sunday night. but yes super STOKED its not broken any more ..
I did consider the Garmin striker plus 4. I passed it up for this because I had no need for the gps navigation system. Plus the price difference. But that would have been my second choice because it does have a lot of features for the price. I also understand from some research that Humminbird is better at their Down imaging and sonar tech than Garmin.
That hummingbird beeps once fish pass near you within 40 feet that's what you want it's only cheap one that beeps so when you hear that beep you know you got fish 🐟 next to you that's what you want in tight spots ok the water this is great for them sea eagle fishing boats
@@rjguess I have the PiranhaMAX 4. Not saying you're wrong, but Ive seen them numbered from 1 to 300 in 8ft of water. Still learning but the manual is junk.
I will consider making a video of that as I become more familiar with it. Also if there is something g your having trouble with just ask. I will do my best to answer.
I got mine from work I got point for working 35 years at nestles food in Gaffney sc I can’t get I to show the fish first one I’ve ever had it show the bottom real well I’ll check back later if you know what I’m doing wrong please let me know thanks I’m Roy big fish
If you would have listened to my video I clearly stated that I was not very familiar with the unit. So I just did a few things on it. Also I stated that I was going to make another video out on the water. I did that. The video shows my experience with it out on the water. There is not much to this fish finder. You plug it in and it’s on. You may have seen it as a waste of time but you gave me watch time minutes. Thank you.
Sorry you feel that way. 4,500 views in two months with plenty of likes and positive comments is not useless. I also specified that I did not know the unit so I wasn’t going to act like I did. I also said I would make another video of it in use out on the water. I also did that. That video was done maybe a week after this video and it has far less views. Thanks for your comment and watch time, what little of my video you watched, you have supported me regardless if you thought this video to be useless or not. 👍🏻
I didn't mean to offend.no shot at you. I just bought a used boat with this unit on it. I guess the cheapest you can get. after pulling up Hummingbird user manual, I overcomplicated things. God Bless you and your family. Catch some Bigguns
David Carroll I’m not offended. I just don’t agree with what you said about this video being useless. I think the number of views, thumbs up, and other comments speak against it being useless that’s all. You have the right to say it is, so I’m not offended. I just do not agree. I do thank you for saying God bless me and my family. That is kind of you and I would say the same in return sir. May God bless you and your family as well.

Nice! Thanks for the comment and watch time!!!
Just got it ,now need installing,.
You are going to like it. Still use mine to this day.
U should support the wire
From the transducer down ,ease it towards the 2 supporting screws cause this way the water current will pressure it towards the opposite way
Thanks for the info!
Pretty awesome. Does the down imaging actually show the fish too?
Yes, you can tell they are fish. Especially if you run into clusters of bait fish and crappie.
@@rjguess ty for the reply. May your day be blessed!
@@Steve-dy8xq thank you!! Same to you!

Chasingwaves very good news to read! I’m glad it works now!
Hey you take that thing out yet man?? Let's us know. We're all interested 😃
Yes, I have another video of me taking on the water.
ua-cam.com/video/lr8g04bsJtg/v-deo.html
Nice work man. Your promptness and info earned a sub from me for sure 😃
@@BlackvinDiesel 👍🏻. Thank you. I appreciate that!
Did you consider the Garmin Striker Plus 4? If so, what made you choose the Hummingbird over the Garmin?
I did consider the Garmin striker plus 4. I passed it up for this because I had no need for the gps navigation system. Plus the price difference.

Mayrun po ba sa iloilo city na tinda ng fish finder na piranhamax
Nice video thank you I think I'm going to pull the trigger on this one.
Check out my other video with me using this on the water. Thanks for the comment and watch time!
what the crap are the numbers on the fish. Mine gives them random numbers and im wondering if it has to do with size?
ProfessionalDad the numbers are suppose to represent the depth of the fish.
@@rjguess I have the PiranhaMAX 4. Not saying you're wrong, but Ive seen them numbered from 1 to 300 in 8ft of water. Still learning but the manual is junk.
ProfessionalDad 🤯 yeah that’s doesn’t make sense.
Show us how to use it
I will consider making a video of that as I become more familiar with it. Also if there is something g your having trouble with just ask. I will do my best to answer.
I got mine from work I got point for working 35 years at nestles food in Gaffney sc I can’t get I to show the fish first one I’ve ever had it show the bottom real well I’ll check back later if you know what I’m doing wrong please let me know thanks I’m Roy big fish
I am not sure why it is not showing the fish. Do you have the fish alarm turned on or off?
Is it waterproof?
It’s weather proof. I bring it in the house when I’m not using it. It can handle rain and water being poured on it.
Wow I got the same one for $99 plus tax at Walmart last year
Charles Love dang! Good deal man!!
You sure it was the di model
You rock RJ.
Richard Johnson thank you! I appreciate your comment! Thank you for choosing my video to watch!
does this finder come with a trolling motor mount
I don’t think it did.
This package cost me $503.00 here in New Zealand. Thieves.
Wow! Yeah, that’s insane!
This was a waste of time did not show how to set up and use the finder.
If you would have listened to my video I clearly stated that I was not very familiar with the unit. So I just did a few things on it. Also I stated that I was going to make another video out on the water. I did that. The video shows my experience with it out on the water. There is not much to this fish finder. You plug it in and it’s on. You may have seen it as a waste of time but you gave me watch time minutes. Thank you.
Thanks for your effort, but an out of the box video with no working application, on the water, is useless. Thanks try again. great fishing.
