Some of the Lowrance guys have clamied that the Hbird down imaging loses some of the structure that is directly beneath the boat. This is what esoxfly is referring too. This is not true as some of the Lowrance guys would have you believe. I have seen several encompassing tests in which people will take an object only a few inches in diameter and pass the Hbird transducer directly over the top of it. (a balloon filled with a small amount of air in this case) The balloon shows up everytime.

There is a lot of misinformation out there on side and down scanning/imaging systems. Some of it is unintentional, and some is very intentional from people trying to push you to, (or from) one brand or another. Just because someone seems like they know what they are talking about either on the internet or in person doesn't mean they really do, or that they are aren't purposefully spreading half truths or flat out lies about this or that companies product. Be very wary of anybody pushing you extremely hard to one specific company.

This is in no way directed at esoxfly.
