The color makes a huge difference especially if you are trying to differentiate hard bottom and structure. Any finder is better than nothing but once you can properly read a good color finder, it is a game changer.

Wait until Sharon gets familiar with her finder.

^ ^^^^ This. And one more thing: Learning to use your FF on manual instead of automatic will open your eyes to a bunch of stuff that normally gets missed.

Why I ask is because I never used one and I've herd so many debated on color and BW

Excellent point Eric. Color makes a HUGE difference identifying bottom types. Also differentiating between different types of bait. Squid being one color and finbait being a different color. A good color finder is most definitely a MAJOR game changer.
Young grasshopper, you have learned well from sensei Nakada.

Another excellent point. And be sure to take it off of the "little fishy" mode and go with arches.

I am also color blind and find the color sonar very helpful whatever the colors are. I understand the differences in what I am seeing on screen far better.




So when Ed and I fish together it really is the color blind leading the color blind!!!
