Hummingbird upgrade

I use mega 360 in trolling jigs and crankbaits at all speeds. Slydoggie if I remember his name right, trolls using it for stripers at fast speeds with excellent results. Mega 360 gives excellent pictures of schools of fish as well as singles that I can chase crappie or find them easily if the move on me after running thru them. If Humminbird’s Mega Live is as good as the pics on some of the pre ads,,,it’s definitely going to be a game changer. Just have to wait on Mega Live. For mega 360 you need a plus unit of the Helix models G3N or G4N to plug it into. The later Solix models also. Gen 1 360 is a Ethernet plug in. Mega 360 is a transducer plug in but can be networked to the G2N models.

So for spider rigging and pulling cranks what would be the top choice in electronics ?

Spider rigging and longlining or trolling is 2 different types of fishing. Before Live View,,,everybody was using 2d, DI, SI and Gen 1 360 for both types of fishing. I mostly longline and troll jigs and cranks so mega 360 for me. If I were spider rigging, vertical jigging and casting mostly, I would have to think of going to Live View,,,but after having Gen 1 360 and Mega 360,,will never quit using it as I use it for all versions of crappie fishing. If Mega Live, by HB, coming out in next couple of months is anything like it’s pics,,it’s definitely a game changer for me to use it as well as Mega 360. Most of the pros right now,,are using both mega 360 and Live View or the Lowrance version. It’s a choice I think you will have to decide for your style of fishing and what you want to invest in.

Thanks Crevans . Live is to new I think for me to purchase anytime soon . I’d rather they work the bugs out first . Maybe I’ll start looking at some mega 360s .
