No comments? Was this article a dud?

I think it was a good market overview, but needs a lead in for how to get started with picking size and then prioritizing features like networking, SI/DI/FFS, mapping. Maybe a set of questions that would help them narrow it down?

Appreciate the feedback!  Thank you!!

I thought it was good article.

Yesterdays fresh water sonar units for bass anglers required time in the water to get your money’s worth. Tutorial video’s have shortened the learning curve to interpret what the sonar returns are and how to take advantage of the units.

Fast forward to today’s units that are very detailed and capable of returning signal inches off the bottom and in cover  something you couldn’t do before.

Scanning sonar was something we used decades ago for off shore game fish, expensive but so are boats. When  Scanning sonar became available for bass anglers was a game changer along with GPS mapping. Garmin has entered the sport sonar along with others and FFS Forward Facing Sonar plus full screen Live Scope has obsoleted traditional 2D sonar of my time period for tournament anglers. 

What does the weekend recreational angler need? Learn to use your Sonar to take full advantage of what you purchased.

Basic HD side scanning and 2D GPS is all you need to catch bass consistently unless time constrained like tournament anglers are.
