Thread: canepoles test

Are we talkin about comparing hb units to lowrance , that would require a rep from each company with cane pole as the judge . HMMMM

that is it

Sounds intresting..

Here is the way I rate them. On a scale of 1-10
Performance:
Lowrance 10 Humminbird 8

Customer Service :
Lowrance 2 Humminbird 10

Unit Pricing :
Lowrance 4 Humminbird 7

Even though I worked as a electronics/computer repair tech I do not want to gamble. As long as the unit finds structure and give me a pic that I can reason out.Thats enough to keep me happy. While these test may be interesting they won't improve what I care most about . Customer service.

Others may care about performance or familiarity with brand or whatever. So the matter will always remain a personal choice.

You can bet that Lowrance and HB keeps tabs on what the other one is doing. That's what has made both of them what they are today. I'd LOVE to be a fly on their walls during their meetings after they've compared the two.:p

This is a performance comparison only. I don't give a rats butt about who buys what or from whom or what anyone's opinion may be about this test.

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.

That means you can add one more unit and it will still be on the up and up, but I've heard, that if you shakedown more than three units, you're playing with it.

Just what I've heard.

To Cane pole tests
When u post the test results picts are u going to
1) post a pict of target item on shore such as your coffee cans gizzmos(so we know what we looking at) plus post at least i pict from each unit with the setting & speed used
2) maybe take at least 2 shots of each gizzmo such as a side shot on west & then a end shot north/south etc.
3) if possible take a pict in hard bottom or rock wall and then something in mucky soft area see how units compare or how they show weed bed on bottom
4) any chance to get a piece of new pvc & old pvc(algae/moss) to show how they compare.
Are U picts going to be side and down images
just some thoughts Thanks Jax
