Humminbird 360 bow

I am also thinking about trying to add a 360 to the trolling motor. Bump for this post.

Also I dont think I fish enough different lakes for it to be of optimal value. Fighting thru heavy grass mats may be a pain as well. For me the balance of $1000 plus cost of upgrading to a 12, versus the actual use it would get in my case,weighs to passing on it

Why do you need a 12

[maxdm12]

Need probably wasnt the best choice of words. The feedback I gathered was it was difficult to see much on a bow unit without it being a 12. So, one could use a smaller size but I think struggle with a good view. Someone that actually has one here may provide more accurate feedback but thats what I got from BBC

That is the same analogy of saying you need a 12 at the console for side imaging. Yes, you can see detail better on a big screen, but just like you can use a 9 or a 10 on the console, you can use a 9 or 10 for the 360.John

I had zero interest in the 360 until I watched a video on it. Pretty cool, wouldnt mind having one. I have heard they are coming out with a newer version, anyone else heard this? Lot of money when I cant seem to catch fish lately in the first place, my wife would really give me a hard time.

So, I am still struggling with this process, and big surprise cost is a factor. I am interested in the 360. I fish more shallow water than not. My choice is this: Helix 12 mega on console and Helix 9 mega on the bow without 360….or….. a Helix mega 10 on console and Helix 10 on bow with 360. The two 10s with 360 is signicantly more in cost so Im somewhat tied to something close to this. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
