Recommendation on new fishfinder combo

I am sick and tired of my black and white HB combo.(more like greyscale combo)


What is that black pc of turd at the bottom. I don't know


Let me see.. sabiki rig its not fin bait

squid rig... setup after 5 mins.


its not squid




What the heck is this clear jello looking thing with a orange red dot.

Why am i pulling up ton of jellyfish eggs.( i asked roby that what he told me)


Anyways... I needs some color in my life..

Spending limit $600.00


any recommendations?

I'm in the exact same boat, no pun intended seeing how you have barely enough room for yourself, ZING!

I'm looking at
The Humming Bird 597ci. It's got gps =)

With a budget of $600 I don't expect Taco to settle at a 300c but it is a nice FF for the coin

Combo is the way to go.



a standalone unit = more batteries and cable around your kayak plus more holes + less room


I already have a combo unit, and GPS and FF is the way to go. Im just tired of the greyscale.

Look its a fish near the bottom, i can tell is 1 shade less grey then the rest.

I just upgraded to a lowrance elite 4x DSI, I havnt tried it out yet but love what I see on YouTube and the results look good the only down fall would be that the transducer must be in the water (scupper mount) but besides that it looks great and well under your budget

I have herd word now you can do a wet mount in the hull of your kayak and the DSI will work just as good as having it directly in the water?
Now I haven't herd to much about it but still herd from several people that you do not have to have it in water.

Holy cow Frank where you been brotha....
IMHO HB is a great product but I would think about Lowrance or Garmin...
due to the cabling and connections are more water tight less corrosion,
Anyway welcome back....
