I have a Humminbird Matrix 37 that has the Smartcast system integrated as part of the package. I have used it for several applications - but never on my fish cat 4.
A couple of questions: Have you ever had a fish fishfinder ? Would this be your only fish finder ? Have you looked into other fish finders ?
Reasons for above questions: If it were to be your first finder, I would suggest looking into the Cuda or another one. If you were going to use it in conjunction with another finder, then you are going to be just fine. By itself, as your only one, I think you would not like it.
I have used mine to cast into a place that was not accessible from my position in my boat or pontoon and I have used it to look at the lures I was trolling behind my boat - I cast it out behind the boat and drag it just above my lures so I can see fish approach them. But I use it in conjunction with my other fishfinder.
The newer transducers are better than the one I have - they have a 90 degree cone and even water temp sensors.
I think for the price, you could get something more functional for the intended application and it would probably give you a better picture of what's below - especially if you've never had one before.
