    What comes after MEGA? Can it get better?

    I almost bought a gen 1 Helix 12 right before we knew about mega imaging. Now I want a Helix 12 Mega but what is next can they improve the image quality anymore than mega? I don't want to buy a mega unit to have a super mega unit come out 2 months after I purchased a new sonar. I'm not buying till after this fishing season anyway.

    Giga!

    Range will only be 3 inches, but it will be a SHARP, CLEAR 3 inches. Heck, you might even be able to see microbes!

    Jump in NOW Jason, it's awesome shallow water close range stuff - the Chirp helps all ranges and the Solix is going to be top dog for at LEAST the next year or two.

    I have temporarily given up trying to find a H10 MSI G2N, not for lack of trying...LOL !

    I have never seen the amount of "defectors" from other brands in the 10 years I have been running HB products ~ that's a statement & true testament.

    The next thing should be live sonar. They should be able to add that in the 360 pod and with some software updates.

    That's what I was thinking ..... but not sure if they would do it with the current 360 transducer.

    I just got mine in from sportsman guide. I got it for within a few dollars of what it would've cost me from a couple sponsors on here. Check them out.
