Digging a little deep on this, I sent Humminbird the following questions:
Pre Sales Question
I want to use the Helix 9 mega to side find fish while trolling. All the video's I have seen only shows bottoms. I am more interested in finding suspended fish at what depth and distance from the boat. Do you have any videos that show that? Can the mega do that? I mostly troll for trout and want to use the Helix to know how far out from the boat are the fish and how deep.
Also is the 360 a mega chirp?
This was their response:
Thank you for contacting Humminbird Customer Service.
No it does not show that and we do not have any videos nor do we produce videos for that. As far as the Mega it can only show Mega imaging for up to 45 feet deep after that it changes to HD. The 360 imaging is not Mega based only chirp as the 360 is a transducer on its own it can not produce mega imaging .
So, since I am not a bass fisherman, can someone explain what good is the SI other than to look at a more detailed bottom? I understand structure and how they hold fish, but if I pay that much for a fish finder, I would hope it would show fish also. Do any of the other manufactures support side finding of suspended fish?
