What customers say about "Key Specs"

Lowrance Hook-3X (000-12635-001) Sonar

Great little sonar for my yak.
Perfect for reading depth and temp from small boat.
Decent depth finder for the money, I'm able to find brush piles with this unit.
Accurate depth readings while trolling around and with motor running.
This is not designed for 100's of feet of water. Other more powerful units are made for that.

Humminbird 398ci (409380-1) Side Imaging Combo Chartplotter/Fishfinder

The down imaging is great and I could see so much on the bottom even with the small screen size.
Easy to install and easy to use. Use on a jon boat in small lake. Down-scan and sides-scan hard to see with small screen.
The fish finders and side view work surprisingly well for the price.
Good unit. Gets lost with small amount of debris in water, but all in all happy
Side imaging at this price is amazing, while you can't see as clear as the marketing pics show, once you figure out dialing in the settings, it's a great structure finding tool.

What customers say about "Interface"

Lowrance Hook-3X (000-12635-001) Sonar

Crystal clear viewing even in the sun.
Picture is decent and clear, i fish a lot of smaller lakes and using for for find variation in structure.
The Lowrawnce unit is a breeze to install, has a clear, bright, screen and works at plenty high speeds.
Very detailed imaging and it fits well on my console.
This is perfect for us, great graphics, easy to understand.

Humminbird 398ci (409380-1) Side Imaging Combo Chartplotter/Fishfinder

Very clear and readable screen for the size and exceeded my expectations.
Obviously screen is tiny. However, has all the bells and whistles and perfect size for ice flasher. Can't beat the price.
Small screen but fine for the few times we use the boat.
The screen is easy to read wish it was a little bigger. Great price for a fish finder and GPS combo, would recommend to a friend.
The main limitation is that the screen is small but that's part of the package so it's not really a complaint.

What customers say about "Features"

Lowrance Hook-3X (000-12635-001) Sonar

Great unit, easy to mount extremely accurate.
Easy to wire and mount, comes with all the required hardware.
Simple to use, and easy to mount!
It reads depth and temperature well.
It does much more but I mainly use it for depths, water temps and bottom graphics.

Humminbird 398ci (409380-1) Side Imaging Combo Chartplotter/Fishfinder

The installation took about 2 hours and I am no expert I had to read a lot. Purchase this product with the rig rite tranducer mount if it is a trolling motor mount.
Do like the transponder being small so I don't to raise the motor up to see side scan.
Very nice unit works great not hard to mount
GPS is great for speed, tracking and marking spots.
The GPS, side imagining, size, and price all contributed to me purchasing the combo.
