    Default Garmin LiveScope or Lowrance Active Target?


    Hello,

    I'm looking for opinions on Lowrance vs Garmin. I realize that might be like asking "Which is better Ford or Chevy." I would appreciate any help that you might offer me. I'm far from an expert on either.

    Thank you,
    jps

    If your starting from scratch with a complete new system... I'd wait and see how the new bird looks, From what Ive read and seen Garmin still has some ghost tree issues.

    I don’t know anyone that has switched from Garmin Livescope to Lowrance. Haven’t seen any videos or images from the other brands that look really comparable to Livescope. The Livescope has some flaws but nothing Lowrance or Hummingbird has rolled out yet looks to be as good as the Garmin.

    Garmin! I have fished the lowrance version, not in the same league. It was a buddys boat.

    good luck with your decision... I have fished with both and own AT currently! I'm loving it and the clarity and clean picture is awesome!

    What unit are you running with it. Bass pro shop just put the carbon 9 on sale with the three in one transducer. 799. Went with the AT and carbon for the higher screen resolution . Got the Carbon waiting on the transducer and black box kit now.

    Got it all installed. Loaded up today even with the rain predicted to go play around some bridges rain got me before I got there. Had to come home. I"ll take some photos will be the first of the week now before I can go again and post them for you guys. Lowrance Carbon 9 with the Active target. I watched the very same videos you guys watched. Did 30 or so hours on youtube before deciding to go Lowrance.
