I agree and if you shop it and take a little time you can find one at t decent price.

Here's one under 700.
Humminbird 409930-1 HELIX 9 DI GPS Fishfinder | eBay

And here's a used 10 for 700

Use di/sonar on split while I troll. Find lots brush this way.

I love DI more so for single pole fishermen, I agree, but it don't mean I won't mark it on my finder and come back over it pushing minners or pulling cranks right over the top of it every now and again, or even drop a jig on top of it when I see fit.. Which way did you go OP?

Looking my self and very confused but things I think are important are SI and GPS, looks like the 9 inch humminbird or 10 is what I will look at most seriously.

You gotta have si/di at the console! The single easiest way to find bait/fish in my opinion. I have a 360 but I leave it at home most of the time.

I only use 2d at the bow. It'll tell me the little info I need there. When I'm at the bow, I've already seen fish from the console on si.

You GOTTA have gps and a lake master map! I use it 100% of my trips to the lake.

Map chip will not help, at all at Washington. Game changer on the big 4 in my humble opinion. I'm not sure I'd go to the lake without it now.

No disrespect to the lowrance guys, but the mapping is terrible on the lowrance. I bought a hds 12 this spring, and sold it after I saw it wasn't at all accurate on these lakes.

The helix 9 has a lower resolution screen than the 10. If you can afford it, bigger is DEFINITELY better
