With the help of the ole fisherman i've come to the conclusion of purchasing a GPS - DI unit,I've been given different advice on brands. lowrance or hummingbird? Any solid advice or its all just a preference,spending 650 i would like to get the most for my $.

I just purchased a new Bass boat and want to upgrade the Fishfinder. I'm at a complete stalemate as to which one to purchase.Hummingbird - Lowrance.I like color,I like black and white. Confusing.I would like one with fish symbols and fish depth verification.Gps would be a plus,but not needed.On the gps models, do you always ave to have em split screen? Better to have a single beam or a tri-beam? Something easy to read without a sun glare would be brilliant.Just thought I would see what everyones take on em was.

Looking for a spinning reel to put on a 6'6 MHF St.Croix for the wife,Was told the abu garcia stx 40 was a good fit considering we fish alot of bass "large and small mouth" and get into a alot of Freshwater Hybred stripers.I haven't thrown anything but a baitcaster in years so any advice on a spinning reel would be nice. I was going to get her castin outfit but that'll just turn my day into fixing line nests,,,so all help would be appreciated,,,just want something to handle all theses species and can take a beating off these stripers...

Is Fenwick still a trusted name in rods,i'm looking at the Fenwick HMG Cast Rod 6'6 Medium Heavy-MF...think its a good rod for freshwater stripers? ( compared to St.croix premiere Cast 6'6 MH-F ) Fenwick is rated 5 pounds higher in line weight,,,just looking for rod with backbone and feeling.all suggestions welcome...

trying to find a good freshwater hybred striper rod,,,had an old st croix 6'6 mh,,,they changed the model to a new mhf.it has a whole new feel,maybe just cause the old one is 10 yrs old .i've heartd get a 7ft,i've always like 6'6 so i ask why is the general consensus 7ft,i'm fishin off a 16 ft boat and found the 6'6 to have more torque and hook setting ability the need to cast far is not needed,,,you think the st.croix prem caster 6'6 model would be a good rod for Freshwater hybred stripers?
