Raymarine Dragonfly 5 Pro
 

I'm new to the community and I'm looking at FF's, I am looking at the Lowrance elite 5 chirp with chart plotter and the Raymarine Dragonfly 5 pro. The Raymarine is significantly cheaper and seems to be a good unit, yet it does not seem too popular in the kayak fishing scene. Planning on fishing LJ mostly and some local lakes up north a bit. Can someone she'd some light on this before I make a decision I regret Haha.

I'd also like to say you guys are awesome and I have already learned all kinds of information from lurking the archives of these forums.

This is why...
 

confused by your statement that Dragonfly is significantly cheaper, don't think you can find a 5 under $500 and the 5 Chirp are selling for as little as $400 with the newer models coming out. Dragonfly seems to have just recently got a foot hold on the kayak fishing market and seems to have momentum............10 years ago all the cool cats had Garmin.

Correction Dragonfly 4 pro. $286.00 on amazon if I'm not mistaken.

Ya I have seen that lowrance has dominated the kayak fishing community, I just bought a stealth 12 that also is lowrance transducer ready. So I would have to get creative with the boat of a transducer the Raymarine uses.

I have a DragonFly and love it. I would not get the DragonFly 4, the screen is pretty small.
