I have used the H-Bird. It works fine, giving useful if unspectacular readings. Units in this price range are really only good for showing the depth, identifying large structure and sometimes finding bait. My H-birds, (including the Matrix 12 I now use), often confuse kelp with fish so using this class fish finder to actually find fish can be problematic.

I have the Cuda 300 and a Lowrance M68-C. Both are fine units. I would like try Hummingbirds HD color FF/GPS. With that said, even with a HD unit, I still don't think I will find the fahqing fish in LJ!

its not the cost of the unit but rather knowing how to read it.. Lower end product just as effective as an higher end unit ..for kayak fishing.
