The Elite-4 and Mark-4 Compact Series is a new lineup of compact, dual-frequency fishfinders with DownScan Imaging (DSI) and fishfinder/chartplotter options. Think of the Elite line as the little brothers to the larger HDS units; theyâve got much of the same pedigree, theyâre just smaller.
Humminbird 360 Imaging
Humminbird is looking to set the electronics world on its ear with 360 Imaging. Rather than scan straight down, the 360 units scan in a circle, allowing you to see everywhere around the boat, including whatâs ahead of you. Shown here is a submerged bridge.
Here you can actually see fish in a scattering of beds. Because this is in front of the boat, the bass hasnât been spooked. With traditional sonar equipment, you would have had to have ârun overâ the fish to graph it, but it likely would not have been there.
