My only complaint is that the battery won't last all day so I have to bring two. Otherwise I love mine. I'm thinking about getting a lithium battery for it this season.
I get it, with a flasher you can do the same, but sonar to me makes it more real and more like a video game I guess. The screen size of the 7 is perfect.After running this all of last season, I don't think I'd ever go back to a flasher. If I left Humminbird for something else, it will probably be a Panoptics with LiveScope.(Image removed from quote.)
I have a Helix 7 Si gen 1, is this worth using as an ice flasher? I've read online that the helix 7 g2 is better with chirp?
Just not very good at target separation or even marking fish, I have used it side by side with the old 597 and the 597 is marking fish while the helix shows nothing. I'm not really impressed with down imaging either. Thought it would be useful but has not been. I have been messing with the settings as well and cannot seem to get it to work good. I fish Lake Erie a lot and will be catching fish and know there are fish down there and suspended as I am catching them mid range depth, but it does not mark them. I have talked to Humminbird reps and looked up the settings for it but most are saying I need a transducer with 83 and it only has 200 and 455 I believe.
How do you tell the differance between gen1 and gen2.
All of the ones i've seen have a sticker at the bottom right corner that says CHIRP/G2
