Location: Stevens Point, WI | Al, I didn't say Lowrance is better. You are right though, it comes down to user preference.
However, from what my buddy told me today, the HDS was much crisper and some of the features of the Lowrance are much more user friendly on the HDS, especially the DownScan feature of the Lowrance. He said, in order to get the optimum performance out of the Down Imaging of the Bird, he had to tweak a lot compared to the DownScan of the HDS.
My buddy actually had two people from a popular retail store near the cites out with him today for some training, and that's why he had the Hummingbird in the boat also. They were doing side by side comparisons. The guys that were in the boat with him know their stuff, and know it very well. These guys aren't ones to lie when it comes to electronics. The two guys are about the most unbiased towards one or the other as anyone I know when it comes to electronics. Why? They both run a Bird and an HDS in there boats. As sales associates, they have to know both units, inside and out!
We'll have some video of the differences this spring and early summer. |
