fish finder?

[taxidermyguy]

Hi everyone. I am looking to buy a fish finder, I dont want anything fancy. been looking at Garmin, hummingbird and eagle locators all around $100-$150. which brand do u guys like?]

I have two Eagles, both seemed to get the job done. The first is still working but it is only 128 vertical pixels. I gave in to upgraditis and got a new one a year or two ago with more resolution (320 pixels).

Have never used the other brands, so mine is kind of a lop-sided opinion...

I stay away from humminbird.. have had issues with them in the past, and I have not been pleased with their products that I owned in the past.

Eagle/Lowrance has some decent units out there in the price range you are looking at. If you fit another $50 into your budget there is a new Eagle (cuda??) 240 that came out not long ago that is a graph/GPS in one with speed and temp. The gps reciever(antenna) is internal so there is no extra antenna needed.. That is really hard to beat for around $200. They are blue in color if you are shopping around and see one... check it out.

Depends on your needs actually. If you plan to fish big water and the big lakes, I would definitely recommend the LMS 332 c. If not, a LMS 68c would be enough. Of course these cost more, but I think these are money very well spent.

I used to have a humminbird.. this summer I bought an Eagle 480... couldn't be happier.

Well in that price range I think you could find a Garmin 240. I have one in the bow of my boat and suprisingly it is pretty good at picking up fish. I know Eagle is also made and owned by Lowrance so you can't go wrong there either. Just try and find the one with most virtical pixels for the money.
