    Default Best Fishfinder for around $250??????


    I'm looking for a fishfinder for around 250$. What do ya'll think is the best for the money? I will be spider rigging for crappie only and will be looking for depth, structure, and baitfish. What do you guys think?

    The Garmin 250 is a great unit and it sells for right around the price you are looking for. I used the garmin 240 for years and loved it. But I think I like the 250 a little better.

    I like my Hummingbird. I am sure they have a good one in that range.

    I agree with 1weezer, i have two Garmin 250 and a 398C. These units are second to none.

    I like my Eagle 480. Gives good detail compared to some I've seen.

    I have only LOWRANCE equipment. They are right about the
    eagle 480. For the money it is great. My boat is equipt with 3 GPS units, 2 are GPS, SONAR combos. If you want to upgrade, go to the LOWRANCE 332C.

    i have an eagle and love it. i've heard good things about the garmin stuff too. i doubt you'd go wrong with an eagle/lowrance or garmin product priced around that range and either should do everything you want them to do.

    Look at the UHmmbird 727. They retail for 279.99.640x320 pixel count has great resolution.
