    Hi all, I need some advice on the fish finder front. I’m about to purchase my first ever unit and I have it down to the Lowrance Elite 7 fs OR Humminbird Helix 7 si. I’ve never used a sounder before so I’m not really sure what to look for in order of choosing one over the other. No brand affiliation at all because I’ve never used either before.
    I have a 3.9 Quintrex Explorer. I’ll mainly be using it in lakes for trout, and in saltwater estuaries/rivers.
    Like I said, I’ve never used a sounder before so something user friendly would be great.
    Any suggestions in helping choose between these two units would be much appreciated.

    Thanks for the response. Any particular reasons to go for the Humminbird over the Lowrance?

    Only because you mentioned ease of use. I have to at least say the Garmin is easier to use than either you mentioned in my opinion. I have been having issues with my transducer on mine so not saying there better just easier to use.

    I would go garmin over both of those. And it’ll be the most user friendly.
