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.
i just bought a hook 2 and am a novice with it's operation . my old lowrance elite had volt meter display this i found useful as about half my time was spent fishing from a canoe and could gauge battery life with portable battery under 6 pounds weight . portaging a canoe ,fishing rods , fish finder and whatever like lunch rain gear lures etc means hourly operation of unit is critical and even with a new lithium ion battery 10 amp hr as it does not last 10 hrs . if i knew the volt scale i would likely shut it down and save battery for more important use later in the day. the hook 2 is a great unit and i do like it . just put volt meter back on future models there are lots of back lake users for the hook2 i don't portage a boat that has a 12 volt system.
Great tutorial mate really helps blokes that have no idea how to use one ..!
Can’t say thanks enough for you taking the time out to make this video...this has helped a rookie like me tremendously to understand my new Hook 2-5... 👍
Hook 2 5 is a good unit. Good luck.
Thanks for the video!
Thanks for making this video. I’ve been looking for a video that broke down those settings for a while. Appreciate it
you're welcome. thanks for watching./
Dude, this video is great especially for a newbie like me, thank you for taking the time to make this!
1) l.p.
Thank you very much I appreciate your help the instructions manual is very vague 🤗👍👍
Excellent job explaining
Very well presented , I just started using my Hook2 5 and 7 this territorial helped me a lot ! Thanks
Glad it helped!
this was very helpful. Is there gps on this model? How would you know how to get to a waypoint?
This helped a lot!
Thank you for making this.
Hi mr vashon my math teacher
Good video I have a 2020 to hook 2 4x w gps
Are you able to see Just an overview map of where you are with the GPS?
Can you use a trolling motor with I pilot and spot lock with this graph? Or does the graph not matter for that? Sorry, new to all of this and I’m getting a new tracker soon with this graph. Thanks
Depth is not stable with my device and moving so fast up and down. I'm pretty sure that it is installed the right way, could it be a faulty or do I have to press something after starting the device?
Thanks so much.
You're welcome!
Also does the owners manual tell us what’s rocks fish and plants?
Thanks for reviewing the hook2 years ago...lol. I do have a question about that unit I hope u can help me with. My lowrance hook2 7 hdi, the box says us lakes, fishfinder/chartplotter. I'm unable to see contour lines on my unit just water and shore line. Do I need a chip for that info or does something need changed in my settings.
My unit has a all white screen on my gps. Any knowledge of this and why?
how well will this work on shallow water lakes under 10 ft
not that great for finding fish. but it can tell you if there is grass or rocks or other structure very well.
Question: When you make these custom setting changes in demo mode, do they stick when you put it back in normal mode? Awesome tutorial by the way.
Sorry, Man, I don't know. And I sold the unit, so I can't check.
My sonar screen picks up all kinds of noise after I go past 20'..Auto settings. Do you have any suggestions ? Thanks
i can't seem to get satelite images to work with mine, is that available on the 7" model?
I just installed the hook 2 and can not get it to turn on I checked the power cord and I do have power there.
Great video...i just received a Hook2 5 asa replacement for my Hook 5, i used it today for the 1st time. I fish saltwater but it shouldn't matter for my question. Immediately i noticed the sonar/Down scan imaging doesn't display drop-offs as a steep falloff as my Hook5 did , for example ,coming off a sandbar into a channel , the image is very gradual. Are my settings wrong?
Hi, I just purchased a Lowrance Hook 2 4X 4" screen GPS/Bullet Fish Finder/GPS Plotter. It is in Simulator Mode. How do I get it out of this MODE?
Thank you Bob
Robert Sanders go into settings and turn it off.
Can someone tell what the little weird looking plug on the back of the unit is for??? Not in manual and nowhere online. I think this is the first thing I’ve ever Googled that I couldn’t find
I know what you’re talking about. I think I knew the answer at one point, but I don’t know now.
can i use the gateway with this one on my motorguide xi5?
My depth finder hook 2 has a illuminating screen but will not turn off and is blank screen
I like the way every video I watch on these things the unit is already turned on and working. When I first took mine out to the lake I pushed the button with a circle and a line (WTF?) in it and it didn't do anything....so I pushed something else and the screen did something and then turned dark....and the sun was out that day....and I couldn't tell what the buttons did so I tried to cup my hands to see what the F was going on and I ran over a float tuber. Can someone please start from the beginning and actually turn it on and show that there's a delay in most every function change? Why doesn't the on/off button say "on/off"......the F?
I’ll keep that in mind if I do another fish finder video. Thanks.
I have a hook 2 7ts.....When i go to chirp....i have lines going across the screen...top to bottom. still shows the bottom. how do i get it back to normal? thank you...
How do you use the way point to set your boat launch location? once you set it, can you go to sonar full screen? how you use way point to get back to boat launch area? Thanks in advance.
What's that blank black box on the display at the 18:00 minute mark? I see them a lot....
On 5-8-23 i called for tech support I was no.18 in line after 30 minutes I hung up and tried to fix my self I called back now no.27 in line after 1.52 minutes i got to talk to some lady that new nothing about hook2 4x after 30 minutes I asked for tech supervisor she hung up on me but called me back 10 minutes later.then made the transfer and now no. 7 in line after 1.45 minutes Im next in line, oh no it's 5pm and they hung up lowrance closed up for the day. If you buy any of their products and have problems I warned you.
will pass on comments ...
Can you make a video for inland mapping?
How do you delete all trails on a Hook 5 ?
Would you use this unit on a pontoon raft, I have a Colorado XT and I’m shopping for a gps/sonar unit for it and I think it’ll either be the lowrance hook or the garmin striker, which would you choose? The hook seems to have many more features but the garmin looks to be about half the size. Though the hook really doesn’t look very big.
this video is featuring a lowrance hook2 5. i prefer it because you can upload custom contour maps to it. Every brand has different size screens. the most common sizes are 4,5,7,9,12 inch screens. I don't know what the garmin striker plus cv 5 has to offer in terms of features.

Your info is great and helpfull, Ihave just set up a hook2x5 split shot but sona screen is blanc, gps ok, any idears
I had the same problem. The Lowrance site had a video page that says to make sure the plug is pushed all the way into the unit. I pushed it more and no help. I'm wondering if I have the plug in the correct orientation? I shined a flashlight into the socket and saw 2 bumps inside the socket. Looking carefully at the plug I saw 2 notches, The correct orientation is that the 2 notches are at the top. This makes it so the plug, when inserted, clears the 2 bumps and goes all the way in. I wish i could draw this for you. When the plug goes all the way in, the rings on the outside of the plug dissapear into the socket. When i had it in the wrong way, I could see that 2 of the rings were still visible. Once I lined up the notches correctly, then I had sonar. I hope you get the sonar going.
My tracker on my triple shot is not working... please help
@main man bassing where does it show how much battery the unit has?
How are you running your fish finder with the transducer out of the water 💧
demo mode
I just bought a hook2 7 inch for my bass raider it came with inland lake maps is that useful
somewhat useful. guess it depends how detailed they are. some are crap, but some are good. Best maps are custom maps or, if they have your lake, navionics.
How do you get the maps on the fisfinder. How do you you update?
How do you change the tide station . Mine is on one that's 125 miles away .
I don't know.
How can I use the demo mode and practice on the lowrance in the house?
David Tatro you really can’t. Demo mode isn’t a good simulation of real fishing.
Is there a Lowrance program or something I can use to put tracks and waypoints on a SD card and then transfer them to my Hook2?

Wheres the link I want to buy one??
Great job! What version software for your Hook are you using?
not sure
haven't checked lately
Is there a way to find how much battery life there is left on the battery?
i believe there is. it tells you how many amps there are. not sure though.
Does it have a flasher mode ?
Ah
Ia there a list of lakes that is included in the US Inland lakes map on the Hook2 5 ?
John Karl I would check the lowrance website.
I did but I can't find anything
not bad
thanks man
How to get it to scan
Full blown fisherman is fine , depth finder , fish finder !! Not so much in lake charts for example for travelers !!??
Thanks but ............
How about you show us HOW to do this stuff, just watching the back of your hand isn't much help. Too bad there wasn't an instruction manual. For my Hook triple shot
A lot of rambling. I kept wanting you to get to the point. Still need to know how to operate H2 4x gps.
Is this 5x?
It’s the hook2 5, not the 5x. 5x doesn’t have gps.
@@MaineManBassing
thanks for the reply!
Hi..How did u get the images on pages while in Simulator mode ? Mine is almost blank .. thanks
in settings you can scroll down to simulator and turn it on.
Maine Man Bassing thanks .. I do that, simulator mode but no contours except blank pages. Anyway will try again
Lowrance is total junk so sad I wasted money on this catch fish all day nothing on the screen not at all accurate telling the depth or the depth goes totally away TOTAL JUNK
same here. Unsure if it is us or the product. We tried 2 different mounting spots for the Bullet Skimmer transducer. Mounted opposite trolling motor now. We basically see nothing, ever. Just depth and supposedly lake floor. Not once do we see what should be a fish or a structure. Everything above the floor is black. Even when we know there are trees/weeds and much more under the water.
A very poor product ,an American company with instructions in a heep of languages except English. What is that all about
Can i ask, Are you related to Colin Robinson?. Because this video has just sucked the life out of me.
Lowrance has the worst costumer service of any unit on the market fabricate costumer service please consider this before you buy
Its a pretty complicated system for an old fisherman... not like my old garmin... they should be ashamed for slack tech support... im fishing, not living the latest tech gizmo.... bottom line, ill beat any of u tech savvy millenials at the ramp.. its fishin not computer programming 102..
lol.
