    In general, the TI units are faster in response to inputs. This is seen when quickly switching between sonar, downscan, chart, and split screens ruclips.net/user/postUgkxeAxH15LxhjGlg5-CRYqjTGTEH0tbY4vk recommend The Hook units will show some lag on button pushes and screen switching. The big ticket item though is maps. If you install a mapping card such as Navionics or the free C-Map Genesis which has a lot of map detail, then moving around the map with the cursor or when running down the lake can lag significantly on the Hook units, but is seamless with the TI units.

      Greg is my favorite angler. Watching this kid in college fish out of a $400 little kayak. His passion and how he's become, a top ten angler in Cali. And that is not easy. And all the good times, great friends. When Greg is all business, and gets on a bite, watch out!! Amazing what he's brought to our sport and a Amazing mentor..🎣 🙏

    I laughed when you said you liked black in trucks. My first Suburban was black; my Tahoe was a dark blue with metallic flake; and my current Rav4 is black. It was interesting to see how you transported your kayak and equipment. I've always wondered how pros did it with tournaments that weren't local! Nice to see Terrence feeling better - nothing more of a drag than being sick during a fishing adventure. Carry on! 😊
