Yeah I am reading good things about the Furunos. What kind of transducer are you guys using? Looks like the fcv 620 with a basic transducer is going to run me $850ish
Tony Busscher:
Its out of your budget I use a Furno 585 with 1 kw transducer great unit see things never seen before good for 500 plus mts

I'm just using a 600 watt transom mount and it's fine (much better than anything else I've ever used). I've heard the 1kw transducers are the ultimate but they cost almost as much as the unit and really I think you'd need the FCV 585 to get the most out of them.
Mario Benedict:
Same tranducer for me. Not sure if you'll gain anything by using the 1kw transducer since I think it's the 620's limitation that only allows you to fully utilize the 600w.
The 1kw transducer will also blow your budget even more as they are significantly more than the 600w.
How deep are the waters you're jigging ?
Ben Earl:
There are some areas here that Im sure have never been jigged before - its pretty wild and I am hoping to do some pioneering. At the moment we are only going to 120m but we could go deeper. There is good sized Onaga in the deeper waters that I wouldnt mind extracting!
