Sounder 1kw transducer help
Submitted by jackmulloway on Thu, 2017-07-20 10:09
Hey Crew,
I am looking at getting a new sounder and trasducer. I would like to bottom fish in the 100-400m mark and be able to spot pelagics swimming mid water as well. Not too sure
whats out there. I havent upgraded for quite a while. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

Deep drop, Trolling and bottom fishing tranny
What boat? What budget? Can you go thru hull?
You gonna need a Low frequency/band for 400m and want a High narrow cone for your shallower bottom fishing. As Gav said a TM260LH or B260LH if going with Furuno fixed fequency. If your going with a Garmin or Simrad and a Chirp system a TM265LH or B265LH.
For your mid water pelagics idealy you want a wide angle cone tranny like a TM 185HW or a B175HW. Depends how far you want to go anf how much of those 3 types of fishing your doing i guess as thats a bit of coin on transducers...
