Location: Waukee, IA | Had mine out a couple times this weekend and played with them a little. First thoughts; the screen is too small for the SI to be seen easily. This, however, I knew coming in to buying it, as should anyone else buying one. Other than the small screen it worked really well for me. I saw a couple really big fish on the side imaging when I was using it. The DI I didn't use much, as I suspected I wouldn't. The color sonar was clear and easy to adjust to your liking. I'm having trouble getting the SI out past 70 feet, but I haven't researched it yet so that could be common? The controls are relatively intuitive after a bit of practice, had no problem changing things on the fly. I will still end up buying a larger unit sometime, but the Helix will still be in the boat along side it. I'll be out this weekend again with it actually muskie fishing, we'll see how it works in a lake with lots of structure and trees. |
