The Dragonfly is running CHIRP technology (Compressed High Impact Radar Pulse). It's basically sweeping through multiple frequencies at the same time. From what I've heard, all of the brands are moving to this starting this spring. Lowrance has already started lowering pricing on their current models in anticipation...so I've heard

I've heard from a friend of a friend of a friend that is not real effective over 150 ft no matter how the xducer is mounted. Anyone have firsthand knowledge?

I'm currently running it and I think it works pretty damn well. Getting used to it still but I think it is worth the money and the structure reads very well on it.

I went to west marine and inquired about the dragonfly. They laughed and said that chirp technology starts at a couple grand if it is indeed chirp technology. I walked out with an HDS-5. Haven't looked back.

Only inexperienced rookies run a FF on a kayak.
Seriously? You need a fish finder on a kayak? If you know your way around the water you should not need such a "cheat" The whole point of fishing from a kayak is to go simple. Fish finders on a yak! What is next electric pumps for a bait tank or underwater video cameras? |
