Thread: Livescope

Well, In my opioion technolgy has came along way in everything. When I was a kid we used a skull paddle, 10' telescoping pole, never heard of rod holder, fished out of a 14 or 16 v bottom jon boat with a 15 horse or less motor. We would drag our hooks on the bottom to find brush piles if we couldn't find a stick up or lay down. All we had in the tackle box was hooks, sinkers, floaters, knife, pliers, fishing line and the rolled up piece of wire we used to run the fishing line inside the pole...Now a days any of us would just go home if we had to fish like that...….lol...…..livescope is just another step in fishing.. I don't have one YET but I will have one in the very near future....

We are making new brackets for Livescope at Cornfield Crappie Gear. Lot of interest in Livescope. Most top teams using our trial brackets and the stories about seeing the fish swim up is crazy. May have to get one !!

lol i love it when you guys see something new thats when i get good deals

Don't tell me about when you do Rodney lol

Seriously looking at investing in Livescope, but to do that means I'll have to also purchase a Garmin fishfinder, which means a considerable amount of money. I've always been a Hummingbird man, but I've been researching Livescope, and all I can say is WOW! It is amazing and no doubt makes finding fish much, much easier. Yesterday I saw one running beside a Side Imaging unit and the Livescope was showing fish in places where the SI wasn't showing any. Of course, each application has it's place...the SI was doing great showing the bottom and structure along it....but Livescope was beating it hands down when it came to giving an accurate presentation of what was really there, particularly the fish and baitfish. Wonder how soon Humminbird will come out with something comparable? That may be my only salvation as to not having to spend mega bucks....that Humminbird will come out with a comparable product that will work on their new depth finders.
