Humminbird Apex & Solix Comparison With A Little Helix Too!

The 2023 show season was my first opportunity to get my hands on a Humminbird Apex unit. I was anxious to see the screen display as the ultra high resolution of the Apex, 1920 x 1080, is significantly better than top of the line Helix and Solix. The Apex certainly didn’t disappoint! Check out the 19” Apex in the video and learn about the new features and how it differs in comparison to the Solix. Similarities between the Solix and Apex will also be shared. Humminbird Helix users will also find some similarities and differences thrown in but the primary focus of the video is on Apex and Solix.

Thank you much appreciated, always great to connect with you.

Steve your video s are superb. However I can’t read my new Solix G3 at speed above 6.5 mph, very frustrating using the XM 14 HW MSI T transducer. If you have any tips - suggestions I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE ASSISTANCE ! I am a subscriber.

Hi James, that’s common, you might get better readings shifting your transducer but the best way to go is get a high speed transducer and y cable. For the Solix 3, XNT 14 HW T is the transducer, Y cable 14 M ID SIDB Y. If you’re running a bass boat, I highly recommend the optional metal bracket MHX XNT.

Thanks James, I appreciate your kind words about the channel.

Why do you prefer the helix? Im trying to decide between the helix and solix.

[@stevechiassonfishing5876]

More economical especially with multiple units! Touch screen isn’t critical to me.

[@straightwhitemale5753]

@@stevechiassonfishing5876 I'll only be using one unit. When I use the buttons, my eyes are focused on them and I run into stumps. That's why I think touchscreen will be better for me. Lol

Excellent video Steve.

[@stevechiassonfishing5876]

Thanks Danny, I was waiting for the opportunity to check out the Apex. The resolution on the Apex is incredible! It will be interesting to se the HDMI possibilities moving forward!

The pixels is a big change the more the better !

[@stevechiassonfishing5876]

Definitely impressive clarity!

[@straightwhitemale5753]

With a smaller screen it would look the same. They use more pixels because it's a bigger screen.
