Sounder Recommendations please

(1/6) > >>

Ben Earl:
We are getting into jigging more and more here in the islands and I wanted to update my sounder. I will probably have to order it from the US and I was thinking $500 would be my budget if I shop around.
What is everyone using and what should I look out for?
Cheers,
Ben

Stephen Polzin:
I'm using a Furuno FCV 620.  Very good sounders, though a bit more than your budget.  Really worth putting a little extra aside if you can. 

Ben Earl:
Hi Stephen, thanks for the answer. I can go higher for sure, was just trying to be frugal  :o

Peter Childs:
Ditto with the Lowrance HDS-5 go the 50/200 transducer for deepwater jigging, not the 83/200!

Mario Benedict:
+1 for the Furuno FCV-620. I now trust what my sounder shows me :-)
