    Lakemaster Plus & Smartstrike Chips

    New to Humminbird and these fancy new graphs first of all. If you could choose one chip would it be the Lakemaster Plus or the Smartstrike ? Do some of you purchase both so you can see the satellite imagery in addition to the prime spots for your target species of fish. This could get very costly very fast if going to multiple states to fish over a 4 week trip. Any tips ? Buy the chips for the lakes/areas I’m going to fish and then sell them soon afterward ? How would you proceed ? I welcome any advice ….

    If you are just going to a few lakes, just purchase them individually and you can get a combo of Lakemaster/Lakemaster Plus/Lakemaster SmartStrike for each lake. That is done via Chart Select and downloaded to a regular memory card.
    You purchase the contour mapping and then add the layers you want with it. Only the HD waters are available for those features no matter if on a region card or individual purchase.
    Look through the list of waters included with the Chart Select software download.
