  • What is the best budget fishing sonar? How do you use your sonar? Hopefully this video helps answers those questions! I love using my Humminbird Helix out on the water, in this video I go over settings and what to look for when you're out Walleye fishing. Thanks for watching!

    Learned more about my Helix in this video than in a year and a half of messing around with it on my own. Thank you Jay!

    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.

    I ran a Helix 7 for the last 5 years. It only had Autocharts and 2d sonar. It was nice to be able to map out all the small lakes here in my area. I upgraded to a Garmin 95SV and man oh man what an upgrade to get sidevu and clearvu! I have never caught so many fish as i have this summer. It has been awesome taking my son out.
    And keep an eye out for a good deal. I picked my Helix 7 up and it was 64% off at Canadian Tire.
    Thanks for the video!

    If you have small kids on the boat, you crank the gain and watch their eyes light up. 😄 Easy way to get them excited. Excellent vid Jay!

    Followed the same method this weekend and got my kids onto a bunch of walleyes. Map recording -> drive around -> drop waypoints on decent marks -> Anchor over a cluster of waypoints -> jig & minnow till the minnows are all gone! Barely had time to watch my slip bobber I was so busy re-baiting hooks.
