Went out last sat 28th to narrowneck for my first softbait slider session this year, got there at dawn, was the only fisher in the whole area it seemed, drifted around the 2 green markers sort of.... 1 little bump on the slider for the 3hrs I was out there, no fish, back on the beach, packed up, dro...

the echomap, ti2 & humminbird are similar priced, last 2 include navionics

seems to be tons of options to customize the unit to your liking when having a quick looksie today I couldn't find in the settings where the reverse transducer option was... any suggestions on display at the shop was the 7, 8, 10 & 12.... the 7inch version is quite a big unit compared to my lowrance...

SitDown

Thanks man for all the helpful info, especially liked the reverse mount transducer option, would never had thought of being caught out on that.... the helix 7 mega si g3 is beyond my budget but worth saving for What model do you have, so I can find out if the reverse transducer option is available o...

nice report there mate, congrats on your PB snap

SitDown

this is all you need i think - yell if you need more what is the up side down flying saucer thingy below the wind nut ?

Not keen on being near powerboats travelling at over 100 kph.

I would swap you those any day for the bloody paddle boarders & the waka paddlers that cruise straight over my strike zone when catching fish, kills it after they show up

SitDown

HLD, in the end, what was it that swayed you towards the Helix 7
In that price range, Garmin & Lowrance are there too

i had a bit of stainless sheet welded to some 5mm threaded rod

if you want me to remove the transducer and take images of that i can fairly easily

yeah mate

SitDown

can you post a shot of the hummingbird transducer setup in your reload

SitDown

I'm in the market for a new unit, something with side scanning & maybe optional - writing maps Not too sure about the big bloody transducer (lowrance ti2) & how its mounted on my reload I do like this as protection from beach launches https://www.berleypro.com/product/berleypro-lowrance-3-1-transduc...
