If you are into fishing and looking at purchasing a new fish finder or perhaps buying your first fish finder then look no further at our top three recommendations below.

Lowrance HDS-12 LIVE Fish Finder

Lowrance, The company known for its High Definition Systems was purchased in 2006 by Simrad Yachting for USD 215 million. This merger went on to create Navico, now the largest marine electronics manufacturer in the world so it is hardly surprising to see this in our top 3 fish finders.

The Lowrance HDS-12 Live delivers on our expectations and the incredible high definition screen we’ve come to expect from the series is here. There is an incredible interface that is fully customizable with great transducer compatibilities. Let's dive straight into the technical specifications and details of the Lowrance HDS-12 Live.

There are a lot of Pros to the Lowrance HDS 12 Live including the Active imaging, Fantastic resolution, High precision Internal GPS and its rugged ability to work in Salt / Fresh / Brackish Water, Deep or shallow! No matter where you plan on taking your Lowrance HDS 12 Live you may want to get a Nano glass screen protector to add that extra layer of protection, this will go a long way in preventing a costly display break and this highlights one of the cons for the Lowrance HDS 12 Live as it is an expensive unit for enthusiasts.

Garmin echoMAP 94sv

The Garmin echoMAP 94sv was released by Garmin on October 27^th 2020 and is owned and manufactured by Garmin (formally ProNav). A common question asked with the Garmin echoMAP series is what is the difference between the Garmin echoMAP 93sv and Garmin echoMAP 94sv? The only difference is the 93sv comes preloaded with LakeVu HD while the 94sv comes preloaded with the BlueChart® g2 Coastal maps.

The Garmin echoMAP 94sv boasts Sonar support, Vivid colour palettes, preloaded charts and quickdraw contours so let’s take a look at some of the specifications and technical's that put the Garmin echoMAP 94sv in the top three!

The Garmin echoMAP 94sv can be purchased for around US 800 and comes with a two-year warranty. If you are worried about reflection out on the water then I would recommend adding an Anti-Glare screen protector for your Garmin echoMAP 94sv and if you want to avoid costly display breaks I would be getting a Nano glass screen protector.  

Fish finders really will change your way of fishing whether you are an enthusiast or a professional and

It will come down to personal preference on what fish finder is right for you but it doesn't matter if you have a Lowrance, Garmin, RayMarine or Humminbird you can find an Anti-glare or Nano-Glass screen protector for them all.
