      I have it for my kayak because I did not what extra batteries and a huge monitor. It works great for what I use it for, finding the depth, and it works great for that. It also works well with telling the type of bottom. My only complaint screen is really small and hard to see in the sun. Other then that worth the 40 dollars.

    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.

    A friend of mine got one called a Deeper. It reads from the deeper to his phone and is in color. Very accurate depth reading chirp sonar, temp as well and has mapping. To be honest it reminds me of a garmin or lowrance display on your phone. Definitely worth looking into.

    Thanks for the demonstration. Ya its just indicating that it detected fish within the beam. Its just a single beam, there is no beam-forming etc. just a 45° beam looking down. I suppose you could manually point that beam any direction you wanted.

      @@capitolbassfishing Hi Joe, I got my fish finder two days ago and tested it today. The finder shows fishes in several depths but I don't know where they are :D Fish finder shows 2D representation of 3D world. Weather was bad for fishing and biting was poor too so no catches today. I tried to get perches. Depth appears to be credible enough. Radar showed 3 meters and my fishing line was around that too. Other place was nearly 4 meters deep and I had to give more fishing line to reach the bottom of the lake.
      The finder was not able to measure through the ice but I think it is because the ice is crusty, not clear.

    @gizmocarr3093 3 роки тому +2

    Well; the old saying is you get what you pay for sometimes turns out to be true. Something to understand first about sonar units is the size of your cone angle. Depending on the depth of the water you might only be seeing a tiny area on screen. This adds up to the deeper the water the more you see. It is like looking thru a funnel or road cone. Even when the depth is say 15-feet your view is super small. That is an issue for even sonar units costing thousands more than yours. That is what makes side viewing sonar so popular. Likely your view moves right to left as you move along. Forward or backwards. What worries me is the demo mode; the depth was in hundreds of feet of water depth. And you sure are not going fishing in the Marianas Trench. If by chance a fish swims thru your tiny sonar cone; a bluegill is going to look like Moby Dick on screen. As you might know by now; I am waiting on baited breath to see what happens next. I hope for the best but, fear for the worst in your great endeavor exploring the lake floor with your $40 dollar sonar; Jacques Cousteau Simpson.
