I'm in the market for a new fishfinder for my bass boat. I don't know a whole lot about them, so if you guys have any tips or recomendations I would really appreciate it! I'm looking for something in the $200 or lessrange. Thanks!

I am awaiting the arrival of a cuda fishfinder from Basspro. It was REAL cheap. Like 79 dollars. Don't know how well it will last. The last one I had was a cheap hummingbird, and it got condensation inside the unit, and you could see it on the screen. It lasted about 6 months before it completely died. It was only a couple of years old. Others have had the same problem.

I had a condensation problem with the one I am replacing now. I just found this one from bass pro...

It seems really nice having the color screen and the dual beam transducer (don't know much aboutthis)seems like the best fit for me since I am mostly fishing rivers and small lakes. Plus, it is on sale for under $200.

What are your opinions on this one?

Eagle Cuda is a good one. Have used on small boats for years.

Have Humminbird C788 CIs on Bay and Offshore boats, love em.
