I had Lowrance for years, including HDS. A year ago I switched to Humminbird, and couldn’t be happier with the switch. I find the Humminbird 1198c to be much more accurate and easier to use. I have the Minnkota Terrova with IPilot, and I’ll be upgrading to the IPilot Link and Lakemaster V4 very soon. I can hardly wait until the water turns soft!
