[cool][#0000ff]I have been using a Cuda 168 since they came out over two years ago. Love it. I wish I had gotten the 168 EX with the wider screen though. [/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]You can adjust the menu options to not have the fishy icons. Also, it does have temp readout built in. That has been one of the things I have appreciated most. It can sometimes make a difference to find water only a degree or two warmer...or to let you know that the sun is warming the water so the fish are more likely to play, etc.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I just bought an Eagle Fishmark 320, for $169 at Sportsmans. It has the arches but most sonars will not show arches if you are stationary or not moving fast. The fish will show up as lines across the screen. On the Fishmark 320, there is a portion of the screen on the right side called Fast Track that actually acts like a "flasher" sonar, showing "real time" marks as fish go through. If you fine tune it right, it also shows your jig or lure when you are jigging right under the tube, or through the ice.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I still haven't had a chance to try it on the water yet, but have had a lot of good reports from others who have used it.[/#0000ff]
