good fish finder

[kevfish1]

what is a good fish finder for under 100 bucks. looking at an eagle 300 or hummingbird pirana>/?? which one is better. Is there another one you would recomend??

I have the Cuda 242 which has been replaced by the 300. it serves its purpose. nothing fancy, but it shows me depth, the bottom and gives me water temp.

Cabelas has the lowrance X96 in the bargain cave online for $120. It's normally $200. I'd jump all over that deal if I didn't have more pressing concerns at the moment.

I'm parcial to Lawrance I'd say nad up that X96 it's a pretty good deal. That said, go somewhere at you can mess around with them and see whats more user friendly for you.

I have been lookin at a cuda 300 from reeds for 69.00$ are they a peice of junk??? the price sure is right. Just want something that shows me the structure and the depth. What does the x96 have that makes it a better finder?????

never had one issue with my 242, so I would assume the 300 would be just as reliable.

If you go to the Lowrance web site, you can download a product emulator and see how you like the controls. It is a virtual depthfinder that operates just like trhe real thing, except it exits only in your pc.
