    Couple side image fish

    Helix 10 G2N with the G3N+ transducer on the trolling motor

    Just realized that the frequency spectrum is for a + transducer. I need to change them to regular Mega.

    Snagged this 16" 2# Gizzard Shad on a Jerkbait LOL

    How about ELEMENT’s Mega SI range? when water depth is the same. I doubt it can win HB Mega (let alone Mega+).

    Both are from shallow water. Any deep water ones? 30 ft or more, using either frequency band.

    You're joking... right? Lol.

    Ok, I'll play compare screenshots with you.

    Let's begin with shallow water under 4 ft. This image is 250ft with over submerged grass in 2.5ft of water.



    This next imaging is coming out of the submerged water.


    Here is Mega 360 being used as a side imaging transducer (dual purpose) showing crappie and a school of bass 150 ft wide. Notice how it's not dark on one side as your Element.



    Right side 120 ft out clearly showing fish next to this rock wall using true CHIRP 455 khz.



    Let's post some deep water images next. 115+ ft deep with the new Low Q HW 2D stock transducer.



    Let's not forget about mapping, which it a critical feature. Here we see a historical topo map layer prior to the dam with a HD 2D 1ft contour map layer, shallow water highlighting, target depth highlighting, with the option of displaying smart strike filtering.



    Let's get wide for structure scanning, 500ft seems fair. Let's see what you got.


    How about sitting in the current with spot lock while target casting...


    Again, notice how you can see the soft bottom in the mega load of bait fish and larger fish.



    Another wide scan shallow water soft bottom scan.


    Cool colorful map


    How about making a sharp turn with a trolling motor mounted transducer?


    Or some detailed images.



    Ok, let the games begin, your turn.
