Inexpensive Fishfinders

[ronbo613]

I've had enough of Lowrance and I'm looking for opinions on other brands of fishfinders. I use inexpensive fishfinders because I don't need GPS, plotting, mapping, color, etc., just need to see the bottom and hopefully, a few fish. It has to have a transducer that can shoot through the kayak hull and the transducer can't be sticking out the bottom.

I have a couple Garmin GPS units and they are great, but I don't seem to hear that much about their fishfinders. I'm hoping there are a few fishermen who use the lower end fishfinders who might have some observations or opinions.
