    If you didn't get your battery figured out. The easiest is a deer feeder battery.

    Hey Damion!
    Did you ever purchase the Striker for your kayak? If so, how has it worked out for you. I have an old Lowrance on my Jackson that works ok, but got a new kayak and thinking about some newer technology. Besides, don’t want to mess with moving the finder back and forth.
    Thanks!

    I did. Still trying to learn it but I’m really liking it. Seems to be really accurate and with the cv I can pretty much tell what I’m seeing even with this being the first one I’ve ever used. Well worth it in my opinion.

    Thanks Damion! I went to Bass Pro to look at it in person and was really impressed. I was ready to pull the trigger…..then I looked at the 5 ��. I liked the slightly larger screen and it appeared the resolution was better. Not so sure I really want the larger size as it’s cramped on the kayak already. Drove home without a purchase to think it over. Again, thanks for the input and I’ll let you know which one I pick up.

    I kinda wish I had gotten the 5. But like you said I’m cramped already. And at the time I’d already spent a lot on other fishing stuff and the wife had me on a budget. Lol. Good luck and hope you like whichever you decide on.

    I have a 93sv on my kayak as well as livescope now. I was so worried it was going to be big and certain times it seems so but you hardly ever hear someone say “wish I had bought smaller screen size”.....lol

    Thanks for the input, Dave. I have a Lowrance Elite5 HDI, I got from from Brian @ BBG Marine years ago. It still works, but it’s a little long in the tooth and obviously not as performance oriented as the new units. It’s manageable size-wise , especially since I have it mounted on the Cuba’s center hatch. In any event, I purchased a Hobie in the early spring to make my salt trips a little easier, (wind and current, coupled with a 67 year old power drive, gets a little old at the end of the day!) That finder gets mounted on the side rail and it’s a little awkward yet. Moving them back and forth is also a pain, so a second unit makes sense. While the majority of my fishing is salt water, I keep being drawn back to these scrappy little fish called crappie! Seems like a pretty good deal to have a rig for fresh and salt!! Fortunately, my bride is quite supportive.
    Oh well, I’ll sleep on it and make up my mind.
    Now to decide on a jig pole, LOL!

    That’s my problem. There’s always something. Lol. My wife doesn’t mind,but I’d went through a stretch of bad luck,or as she says not paying attention and had broke 2 10 ft jigging rods and 2 casting rods within a 2 week period. Lol. A 4 is better than nothing and I can’t fish period without rods,so I got the 4 and new rods so everyone was happy. Lol
