    Maybe because most of the time Lowrance units work and work like they're supposed to. And I know its a smart-a$$ remark but these people just can't give credit where its due... How long did Cane Pole keep the "sticky" post about the slow gps response rate. Over a year before they did anything about it. Lowrance didn't seem to have that issue. How about some of the other issues they fixed. Dang, lowrance didn't have those either. Just for the record I'm going to predict that Lowrance beats hb 3 to 1 in performance in this little test!!!!!!:D:D

    I trust my abilities and knowledge and my friends abilities and knowledge enough to do a fair and balanced comparison and not depend on some report from a paid promoter.

    We have the units and we are just gonna share the information. We have nothing to gain except a little knowledge about the units. No one is forced to read or believe the results. Any complaints, well, just run your own tests or believe the pan handlers.

    If anyone has a specific test that you want performed, PM me. I am now in the process of writing out some basic test parameters. Gives me something to do.

    It is a shakedown cruise if you know the meaning.
    Food for thought...

    Pretty hard to make a scientific test out of this with there being so many variables. First thing that comes to mind insofar as scoring, is to use some type of rubric. A person could compare the results from the testing from each unit but there is no standard or baseline that has been set. Have seen some tests where they used balloons but the size of the balloon would of made the fish look like moby dick . Have you thought about putting in some objects.....various sizes (tennis ball, soft ball, etc? Suspended? Just a thought...I know its going to be very time consuming to say the least.
    Sacred Heart of Mary, pray for us now, and at the hour of our death. AMEN
    For those who believe, no explanation is necessary....for those who don't, no explanation is possible
    For the sake of his sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and the whole world

    Yep, I agree, too complex to be scientific. I am just trying to be objective. I will put out what data we collect and not bias the data with hype.

    I have some plastic bottles of different size I was gonna tape to some of the plastic.

    Good idea. I will try to rig some stuff on a string. I will take pictures of the objects before I sink them. We are hoping for fair weather.

    This is a link to a side by side comparison where both units are mounted to the same vessel and the screen shots were taken of the same structure at the same time.
    You can only assume that the settings were optimal for both units.

    This is great. Since Joe average fisherman isn't going to understand everything that his unit is capable of, nor is he going to take the time to learn everything these unints will be capable of, going with an objective approach is probably going to be the best for the most people.

    I think if it were too scientic it would be lost to the masses.
