Randy Blauket might approve of the old graph, maybe.

If you hook it and new module to your current graph, supposed to be a cleaner image. From the pics I’ve seen, it’s a tiny bit better, not sure it’s worth the cost though. I’ll need to see some real world proof, before I’d purchase.


If you buy the new graph and dual transducers, about $6k give or take, you can run dual FFS ducers on the same screen for a wider image. For example, scout would give something like 270 degrees of coverage.

I watched a few videos on it yesterday. It has the ability to use two transducers and sew the pictures together. You can now use forward and down together on one screen. Also run two in scout mode giving you almost 360* live. The regular views looked slightly better and they say it is seamed and little better. I’m not going to rush out and buy it. The fish reveal on side scan actually look pretty cool.

Do you remember the cost of the that combo? The fish reveal transducer and module required.



Edit: I guess we could post the pics. If nobody does it today, I’ll do it tonight.

I believe the transducer was almost $500 and the box was 9 something.

Way too much gobbledee-gook, I can hear the question’s already being asked for the new 3 years.

I don't even understand why Randy runs graphs at all on his rigs. The man only casts at cover he can see. Nothing wrong with it, but it's not surprising that he can't keep up with current top anglers who find offshore fish.

He really went off with the Lowrance release, the guys just about lost it.

Randy’s probably the most miserable depressing sob on all of social media.

Grout…from the reading I’ve been doing, fish reveal on side scan will also require the new HDS-Pro unit.
