I know this is like asking what’s better...Ford or chevy, but I need some input. I’ll be rigging a new boat in February and I’m torn between depth finders. First of all, I’m stuck on Minn Kota trolling motors. So that isn’t an option. My dilema is trying to determine whether or not I should go with a Humminbird in order to get the linking capability.
The current unit on my boat is a Humminbird 597. So, any change will be a huge upgrade. Everyone in my club uses and swears by Lowrance. So I was dead set on going that direction. I had somewhat decided on a Carbon 12. But I keep coming back and thinking about the Humminbird in order to get the linking. But, I can’t decide it
if its really that useful for the the fishing I do, trolling and down lining for stripers. However, some of the side imaging pictures I see from Humminbird have unreal detail...
So, is the linking worth it to go with the Humminbird? Or do I stick with the original direction which is Lowrance?
