Location: Bemidji, Lake Vermilion | wdykstra - do you have any experience with either brand or a preference? I vote Lowrance every time. Is this for a console or to be put on the bow? Are you going to be primarily muskie fishing or using it for multipurpose angling? An HDS5 is all a person needs for a bow situation for sure, slightly larger screen is nice for console but not necessary again if you're almost always muskie fishing. HDS's are awesome units, you'd not be disappointed with one. Important note - learn how to pick the proper settings/learn how to effectively use it. Either brand is a tool and neither will be great if you don't know how to use its full array of features etc properly. |
