Humminbird Fish Finders

Fishfinder Sonar Power vs. Pixels?

Looking to purchase a fishfinder sonar for my boat. I am considering 2 units both have 480 x 480 pixel display and one has 2500 watts the other 4000 watts. This is for fresh water no more than 60 feet. Should I pay for the extra watts or will both units work similiar? Does the power enhance the ability to locate fish or is it more for depth?

The power of a sonar unit is described in Watts. The term "peak to peak" is used to describe the overall output power of the transmitter. When dealing with fish finders, the higher the wattage, the more efficient and powerful the overall unit will be. Low wattage will ultimately bring you slow readouts, meaning a delayed reaction for a reading of a spot you have already traveled over.
The bare minimum peak to peak power would be 600 Watts, although 2000 to 3000 Watts is certainly recommended for most anglers. One key point to remember - the shallower the water you fish, the less power you will need. For those that fish deep water (such as the Great Lakes or saltwater fishing) it is best to choose the most powerful unit that your wallet, or significant other, will allow.
160 x 160 pixels is the bare minimum when it comes to choosing a fish finder. Again, the more money you are willing to spend, the better the product you can purchase. 240 x 240 pixels would be a great starting point (and a minimum in my book), but certainly move higher if you are able to (and again if the wallet and you know who allow for it). You won't regret it in the long run

When looking for the right fish, the best method of determining what could be right for you would be to check out the fish finder reviews. Electronic finders have become the biggest and perhaps more prolific tool in the anglers arsenal, enabling you to find the right one for you through reviews that can make the difference between a great day on the lake and a long drawn out hitless affair.

In a fish finder review you can find many brands that will offer the latest in options from depth of range to GPS technology. Knowing what you want prior to looking at the reviews can make your search for the right piece of equipment far less time consuming and less effortful. It was actually the US Navy that first developed and used the technology known today as the fish finder. This method of search was adopted by the Navy some 75 years ago, and is known as sonar. Whether trying to look for submarines or searching the great lakes for schools of fish, a sonar can be a great asset to its user. Finder reviews go into great depth, the options and features that can be had in these wonderful devices.

With many companies on the market that offer this great fishing tool to the general public, it is only natural that a solid lineup in a fish finder review would be present. There is like most reviews for products a top category in the round up of sonar, on the fish finder reviews and the top 7 contenders in this field go as follows:

1. Hummingbird

2. Eagle

3. Lowrance

4. Garmin

5. Bottom

6. Furuno

7. Raymarine

The review has become a largely used utensil for anglers over the last 10 years, and with the reviews many anglers are getting the best that the money they spend will offer when it comes to this handy little device that merely hooks up to the side of your boat. It does not matter what size of your boat is, when it comes to using one of these great fishing tools. It is the depth and perception of the water below that allows you to dictate where a school of fish is present and thriving. Take a peak at a fish finder review today, and find out exactly why anglers of today swear by them, you too will be in the know as to where the fish are hiding.
