The 7 must be sold out, still have the 4 & 5 though. Or call customer service and see if they will extend the discount on a similar model. Never know unless you ask, and the worst they can do is say no

I actually got this same deal on the Hook 7 last December. I am a bit disappointed in it. I am running it on my tin boat. I have the Elite 5 without CHIRP on my yak and it performs much better than my Hook 7. Looses contact with the bottom easily especially if there is a change in depth. Does not desplay bait or fish nearly as clearly as my Elite 5. Anyone else have any input on the Hook line of sounders?

I've heard the same complaints from my freshwater colleagues...

Yeah...I've read bad things about the Hook series not living up to expectations. I've got an older Elite-5 with chirp that I'm also a little disappointed in. Screens can be slow to load and the cartography for LJ sucks.

Dave is retiring, everything on sale. It's a good time to pick up a lefty reel as they are always the last to go. I just picked up a Phenix Recon PHX-C804 carbon rod at $70 off. I can't believe how light this thing is, perfect for sandies and spotties. There's quite a few rods left, and avets and accurate reels, but clearing out fast.
