A Few Things To Know Before Buying Your Fish Finder

Even though in the sections above we’ve covered some of the best fish finders for the money, you may still want to see what other models are available. Therefore, if none of the above fit your budget and needs, here are a few things to look for when choosing your fish finder.

Brand Name

Currently, there aren’t too many top fish finder brands out there. The most popular are Humminbird, Lowrance, Garmin, Simrad, Raymarine, and Furuno. There’s also Vexilar and MarCum, but their offers consist mostly of ice fish finders. There’s also Deeper, which offers some of the best castable fish finders available at the moment. We’ve already covered at least one model from each one of these brands. But nonetheless, they offer many other models, and some of them have also gathered an almost clean 5-start rating from users. Thus, if you want to check out other models, these are the names to look for

Sonar Technologies

There have been quite some innovations over the past few years in terms of sonar technology for fishing. For example, even though CHIRP sonar technology has been developed in the 1950’s, most CHIRP sonar fish finders have become available for the average consumer only after 2010. Also, in 2018, Garmin has introduced the first Panoptix Live sonar, while Lowrance has developed a similar live sonar technology, which is called Active Target.

Of course, fish finders with the newest, most advanced sonar technologies are the most expensive. The ones with structure scanning sonar also cost an extra buck. The most affordable models are the ones with standard or CHIRP standard sonar.

Type of Transducer

A transducer is not always included with a fish finder, so it’s pretty important to make sure that the unit you want comes with one. It’s definitely a plus to have a full fish finding system out of the box and not have to look for a compatible transducer once you’ve got your unit. Also, you can be sure that the transducer included with your fish finder is compatible with it. All the fish finders on this page include a transducer.

GPS, Charts, and Other Navigation Features

GPS, charts, bathymetric map creation, engine data, or trip planning are features that will always increase the cost of a fish finder. Now, depending on where you’re going to be fishing, you may or may not need these. But especially if you’ll be fishing out at sea, or even on a large lake, extra navigational awareness and the ability to mark waypoints for the best fishing spots are always a plus. The list above covers some of the best fish finders for the money with and without navigation features.

Connectivity

Similar to navigation features, networking features like NMEA or Ethernet ports will also increase the price of a fish finder. But then again, these are features great to have if you want to easily connect your new unit to an already existing boat grid. Also, WiFi and Bluetooth are great features to have as they usually offer the possibility to easily download software updates for your unit, chart downloads, or data upload on the web, or on your mobile device. Fish finders with features of this sort usually start at approx. $500.

Bottom Line

All the fish finders that we’ve coverd here have a user rating of at least 4.5 on most retailer and manufacturer websites. They’re most definitely the best fish finders for the money that you can get at the moment. We’ve covered here, models for all budgets, starting as low as $150. Also, each one comes with a transducer, so you’ll have a complete fishing sonar system right out of the box, without having to purchase additional accessories.
