Fish Finder plus Speed

[UtahBassKicker]

I'm looking for a good, cheap fish finder that includes speed. Anyone know of one?

 

[UtahBassKicker]

Nobody? That surprises me. :?

The don't make a cheap fishfinder with speed. You can add a paddle wheel to most cheap fish finder or by a small cheap gps which will give you ground speed not water speed. Basically buy a gps and sounder unit or add a paddle wheel to a fish finder.

i'm not sure they even make any with the paddle wheel any more since a gps is so cheap

 

[MDFisherman57]

They don't come with them. You must buy them separately.

Buy an inexpensive fishfinder and an inexpensive handhelp GPS. That's what I did, ha-ha.

Thanks guys. So who makes the cheapest GPS/Sonar unit?

 

[redbug]

there are many entry level gps/sonar combos on the market
do a search and see what turns your head asking questions like that will just turn into a this versus that thing
if you like lowrance then go with that if you like hummingbird then order that one
garmin also makes combo units

i have never used a hummingbird so i cant say anything about them
i have a lowrance 27c and hds7 both are big screens so not cheap
but they have served me well over the years
as a side note if you limit yourself to bass pro shops or cabelas then you are gonna over pay for the unit whichever one you choose
