[QUOTE="buffresources, post: 301503, member: 10388"] So if I decided to go HB 596c HD DI what I'm hearing is less detail on the horizontal but more on the verticle vs Lowrance? What is the effect on detail if I fish primarily in water 20 feet or less using a tm? Still HB? Most of my fishing is crappie in 20 ft or less out of a 12 ft jon with 30 lbs TM (in other words slow compared to an outboard). I mount the transducer in the front on an old tm mount. Some of the Lowrance vs HB comparison pictures I'm looking at on the net seem to show better clearity with the Lowrance DSI vs Hb DI for the same depth (around 20 ft) but maybe they are old ...2004? They said something about HB upgrading its' transducer since then? Sorry for all the questions and while I'm sure they are both good units in their own right I want to avoid making a $400-600 mistake for what I am wanting to use it for. By the way found a 596c HD DI for $360 free ship/no sale tx...just waiting for a little more info. [/QUOTE]
