idiot

I’ve been using my eagle claw telescopic 5’6 rod for a while now and I’ve caught some really nice bass up to 2 -4 pounds

I like to use a barrel swivel with spoons, but I put about 24" of line between the spoon and the swivel.

What size battery do you need to run one

They make a smaller one now

Should do a fall and turnover video for spoons

the 7 have sv, you just need the correct trasnducer !

I purchased this battery from Amazon. I checked their description to see if it could be paired with another brand battery - they had nothing in the description. When the battery arrived right on top in the owner manual it says that it IS NOT RECOMMENDED to be paired with another brand. Now I am getting hassled with the return - am told that it is my personal preference to return and I would have to pay for the return shipping. They also said that they would deduct their original shipping cost from my refund - Amazon did not charge me shipping so why deduct shipping cost! I would not recommend buying these Litime/Amperetime batteries.

My Garmin shows the ball weights as a steady stream of fish. How do I get it to ignore the weight and just show the fish?

What kind of hook is that

I absolutely love the rubberized netting. It took me awhile to get over how incredibly toxic they are for the fish but at the end of the day, I just can't stand getting those hooks out of the nylon

im not a mathematician but i think thats only 1 way

Hello from Denmark 🇩🇰 Sry my English.. I have garmin striker 4 And I think to buy this vivid 5cv for my tiny little boat.. Should I go for the vivid or keep the striker 4 ? Striker 4 is a great fishfinder.. but ARE VIVID SO MUCH BETTER???? Plz convince me that vivid cv5 are SOOOO much better plz ? Is it possible to get (fish symbols) on vivid and not just light spot ?? And map plotter ?? It it really a great feat?? Will vivid record the seabed and store it on vivid so it works as sea mapping ? So I can see how deep there is next time I sail over the same place?? I hope you can understand my question?😄 And is it possible to install it inside my boat or do I need to have the transducer in the water all the time?

اشكرك يا صديقي هذا الفيديو الرائع فعلا قارب جميل فعلا في صيد الاسماك اتمنى لك التوفيق والنجاح أنا صديقه جديده في انتظارك احلى لايك

Did you comment on screen resolution?

Was going to get the striker 4 but checking this one out i think im going to get this one for my kayak next year 👌

I bought a aluminum jon boat last week with a 9.9 motor. I already have 3, but I've only ever paddled around in them. Im getting old now and it isn't any fun anymore lol. The new law here is you have to register your boat to use even a trolling motor, none of my boats have titles so I cant register them. I ended up buying one of these fish finders today, its the first time putting/using one on a boat. I just got it as a starter and because im learning how to wire boats...so if I burn it up its better then an expensive one. Later I want one with side imagining for the front, I'll just keep this in the back (I also have a front mount trolling motor I want to mount later). I like that you can just mount this to the trolling motor, saves me from having to put holes in the boat for the time being. Also means I can just take it out and mount on my smaller boat for private ponds if I want. Edit: long as you have a signal you can look at Google maps to see where you are in the lake (rough estimate anyway). I'm looking into if I can pull up contor maps on my phone, that would be pretty useful as well.

Simrad has had a better unit than this for a few years now. I'd expect a MUCH BETTER screen resolution for new units hitting the market. Anything new coming out should be 4K as a base level at least. Especially considering the cost. At this rate Garmin won't release a 4K display for another 15 to 20 years or so. That's unacceptable.

Hi , I just came across your review, I was thinking of getting this unit( onsale) can you tell me what micro card make works with this unit, I'm in Ontario and would like to have a copy of the eastern Ontario lake system, what would you recommend.

If i were to buy my first one again id go for a second hand one.. and try to get a 9'' screen atleast.. i hated my first helix 7... then got a second hand 9'' echomap (older one before live) fo 350 bucks with the gt52 ducer.. that thing was decent for viewing maps/doing sonar.. Now i got a newer echomap with livescope.. but thats a bit much for a beginner.. 5 inch is too small to split screens.. so is 7.. if ur using quickdraw to make maps.. its too small.

How much is cost ?

Is the eagle 7 worth the extra money over the reveal 7? Is there much difference with the side scan details?

Why is you hook like that

hi. what is the difference between echomap UHD 73sv and 72 sv. thanks

They finally made a bluegill color for the pond magic and buzz.

I bought it two years ago to add to my JetSki, but never could figure out how to install it without drilling holes in the ski. This sounds like it's exactly what I need and I can't wait to get it going.

That would be my dream setup for my new kayak. But heck it took me 5 years to get the kayak how things go as a family man. So maybe I’ll get one in the near future! The cv looks great to me.

i just bought a 7 fs elite is there a upgrade i can do on the transducer. i got the one it come with and it doesnt give me pictures like i see on other fishfinders and i cant get the side scan to work

Thanks for you information..❤❤❤

After watching your video I fished a senko Texas rig style I live on a lake with alot of cover and weeds 🫡I tore em up this morning got the most bass in one day and the biggest I've ever caught ,thank you for your advice 👍

Such a great video, great production quality. This deserves a ton of views

I got a 11 foot kayak will that battery run me up and down the river all day?

Buddy I feel your pain. I ran out of juice once I have the 100ah to run the trolling motor a 30ah for fish finder and lights and a 50ah just in case.They were cheaper the the big brands at half the price and still weight less the a acid cell. And all you see is 1 in a smart box and no wires any where. 2 are low profile and stached away. Don't know if I'm ever gonna need the 50ah. You can fish evrryday for a week and still have juice. Thanks

Good stuff, Wes!

Did you rig a fluke upside down on a chatterbait on purpose? Does it do something to the lure if it's upside down?

Great video. Lets the rest of us know that its not just us that aren't catching fish! Instead of the drop shot wacky, do you ever fish with a weighted (jig head) wacky hook?I have about equal luck with both of them. Although lately, a shaky head with a zoom trick worm is about all that's working for me.

how well does it do in water when fishing for lake trout?

People that have been using lithium from thre beginning tell you that in order to maintain the 5 years you should top off the battery after each use and that if plan on storage of three months or more to top it off monthly just saying

I have the best solution, stop being lazy and do human power. My pedal drive does everything a trolling motor does, almost as fast, never have to worry about batteries and charging, and "spot lock" is easy peasy. Seriously, unless you are fishing huge reservoirs and need to cover miles of distance there is no need for a wasting money on a trolling motor

The screen is tactile? Thx buddy.

false. muddy water warms up wayyyy faster than clear water. so if youre looking for warm water, go find a bed and chuck a chatterbait or something that displaces water. plus bigger bass love muddy water.

I'm just looking for a rod I can put in my backpack lol

With the high end battery you might get actual customer service if you have a problem.

Growing up, if I crossed my grandfather's line and got him tangled, he would immediately cut my line. It was a pain in the ass but it definitely made me a better angler😅

The fact that this video was even made. Smh

Seems like common sense, or lack of it.

I just got back from a fishing trip on the White river in Arkansas. Drive up river, fish/float down, drive up, repeat until the sun goes down or you get tired. Not one issue on a crowded river full of locals and tourists. Everyone slowed down to pass us when we were floating, we did the same.

Make sure you understand the difference between the Garmins that plot your position on a chart and the Garmins that ONLY show depth and fish and “waypoints “ on a blank yellow screen. I got fooled and bought the the wrong one first and finally bought another . (So, I have this one available for $20 ……it’s not even worth that.)

I appreciate the information. I'm piecing together my first boat (14ft jon boat) and I plan on dragging it to the white river in Arkansas. A simple depth finder with some bells and whistles to learn is perfect. Main concern on the river is depth. I grew up without all the fancy screens to fish so I'm a bit bias against them. Maybe this is a happy medium.
