Lowrance Fishreveal - how useful/good is it?

[txchaser]

Still figuring out which 7" SI to buy, and the lowrance fishreveal (downscan+sonar combo view) looks really interesting... but I can't tell if it is actually useful in finding fish you otherwise wouldn't notice, or just a feature that sells finders but isn't that useful on the water.

I found your thread doing a search. I don't have it, but like you, have been looking at it very closely. 

 

I think it just allows you to visualize in another manner. I personally love the idea. Everyone always says use regular sonar for finding fish and downscan for finding structure. So why not marry the two? 

 

Going with a Lowrance unit is a well known unit, so even if you don't end up liking or using fish reveal, you still got a solid unit!

I was wondering the same thing. I just finished installing an HDS 7 Gen3 with fish reveal and will test it on the water tomorrow, hopefully in the afternoon i can report back.

i tested it on friday, and had a tournament saturday and sunday... i ended up finishing in second... 1/2 the boats didnt even bring a fish to the scales... it was a 2 day tournament. On sunday i caught 8 fish out of this spot... so FishReveal ON for me...

I'm a garmin guy with livescope, but fish reveal is something wanted... Garmin just had a better package when I was upgrading it all.  That fish reveal is still very nice.  Maybe I will get one for Christmas.
