Fish Finder questions...

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

I suggest you look at the Cuda series from Eagle. They range from 109.99 to just above 200 I think. If I were you I would buy the Cuda 168. It has an excellent screen, lots of options and it comes with a temp sensor, and there after sale service is second to none(my experience anyways). :wink:

Hey Steve,
The Fishmark is an excellent unit but it would be nearly impossible to get one for $200. If you can spare the extra cash Fish you would really enjoy that unit.

really?

i paid 249 at fishing world almost a year ago...

i figured they would have come down in price.

not to mention Wal Mart carries them...so you could probably get it on sale through them.

check out this link:

i think they'll be around 200 Canadian at Walmart.

Thanks for the info....I forgot to mention that I want a portable on which are a bit more expensive....

So far, I narrowed down my search to the Eagle Portable Fish Easy 240.

Any thought on this unit?
