    Default New Helix 9 SI Mega


    We upgraded our console Helix 7 DI to the Helix 9 SI Mega Scan and had to get on the water to check it out. Wow!! It has great images and the side scan will be a really nice feature to have. Still need to learn how to maximize its potential, but that will hopefully come with time and practice. Planning to add a Helix 9 DI Mega Scan to the bow to upgrade our other Helix 7 DI as soon as I can afford it. Maybe its just me, but I can't see the advantage of 2 SI units when they network and we can see the console SI on the bow unit. I think I would rather save and invest in a 360 for the bow than have 2 SI units. Any Thoughts to consider before investing another wad of $,$$$.$$.

    Put in at Wildcat and fished from the mouth of blood river almost back to Irvin Cobb. Extremely slow and very soft bite in 16-22 FOW. Surprisingly more bites in 16-20 ft. Missed several soft bites and caught some short fish (good news for the future). Probably caught enough keepers to make a couple fish o fish sandwiches, but that was it. 6-8 boats seen on the water max.

    I am adding one to the console to have 2. One for map and one for side and down scan. Getting tired of switching screens! Here the Megas are great.!

    I have a Helix 5si now want to upgrade to Helix 9si console and Helix 9di at bow this year. The 5 works good but want/need bigger picture & better definition.

    i have all gen 1 lowrance with di and si. Seems like a lot more folks are going to humminbird. Is it worth changing out all my lowrance? this could be a 2k investment.
