Best Small Boat Fish Finder

[RyanCreek]

I use the Humminbird Piranha Max 220. Not as good as the 565, but what I'm saying is you can't go wrong with Humminbird. It does everything I need, whether I'm ice fishing or out on the boat. Got it for $100 or maybe less at Cabela's a year ago. For being so cheap I was worried about the quality, but after doing some research and coming across a great deal I bought it. Turns out they were right, it is a solid, dependable fish finder with enough power (1600 watts peak to peak) to accurately mark those fish. I learned at Pineview that it is sensitive enough to see my jigs and little 4lb. downrigger ball at 60-70 feet. It also uses a dual beam for a wider coverage. All with a unit that was around $100. I could not have got a better small boat/ice fishing fishfinder for the price. Other similarly priced units only had half the power.

I use it along with my handheld Garmin E-Trex GPS that was also $100 to track my trolling speed, direction, etc.

I've had bad experiences with two Eagle units in the past. Some of the newer, more expensive ones ($150 and up) might be alright, but I will never ever touch one of those again.
