Is this a good deal for me? Im looking at trying to do some spider rigging for crappie. Would this be a good finder? And is the price good? Is there anything I should watch out for so I dont get conned or tricked into buying something that isnt what it was advertised as? Thanks for any help here. Was priced at $200 and a half hour after I asked what model of the helix 5 it was, Price dropped to $150. Kinda seemed an odd thing to happen after I expressed interest in it? I thought so anyways?
What model did he say it was? I would be weary for that price considering you can get a Helix 5 Sonar for around $200, or the DI for just a little more. These are the ones without GPS and do not support any map cards. The GPS models are more expensive. I would want the model, hours and pictures if it were me. And since we do not know the source it's hard to say if they are reputable, be careful a lot of cons out there! Side note I would prefer a 7" at least for rigging, be hard to see that 5" screen sitting on the bow and running split screen is almost not an option.
thank you for the info because that sold me right there about not being able to see on a 5. Thank you sir! i see some 7s that are running like 400 to 600 too
forgot pic sorry
I believe that is the Gen 1 model meaning it has a few years on it, you can buy new for about $320. Yep the 7" screen makes a big difference especially if you plan to use a map card and run contour lines, channels, ledges etc. You can use a split screen DI and map combo.
Snubby, if you blow the pick up and look in the bottom right corner of that screen it says DI/GPS so wouldn't that show the maps and contour lines. I don't know, so I'm asking...Sent from my SM-G892A using Crappie.com Fishing mobile appQuote:

For that price I would expect to get just the head unit only. Does it come with a transducer, power cord, and gimbal bracket?
