Humminbird 997 SI Fish Finder Product Review - Fishing Has Never Been Easier
Every angler is interested in finding that "edge" that will produce more fish on a more frequent basis. Anglers rely on the ability to locate fish according to depth, water temperature, and structure. The Humminbird 997 unit can help with all three.
The Humminbird 997 SI comes equipped with 2d sonar, GPS, and the ever-emerging side-image scan. The side image scan feature is the "secret weapon" for any angle. Using ultrasound technology, the 997si shows picture images of bottom structure and contours. With the added GPS feature, it becomes simple to pinpoint and save waypoints of exact locations of brush piles, rock piles, and underwater contours. These features allow anglers the ability to pinpoint specific structure that might be holding fish. Again, the GPS capability allows anglers to return to these spots over and over.
The side image scan will also show schools of baitfish (a must for bass fishing) and will even locate game fish around cover or on bottom (great for crappie and catfish fishing).
The unit comes in three different sizes. The 997si model boasts a 8" display screen while the 1197 and 798 are 10.4" and 5" respectively. Each unit comes with the option of buying pre-loaded Navionics maps that show lake contours from hundreds of bodies of water across the United States.
This unit has revolutionized tournament and recreational angling. Half the battle in fishing is finding the fish, and this unit helps tremendously. Any angler that is looking for an "edge" or "secret weapon" cannot go wrong with purchasing a Humminbird 997si. The unit is available for purchase online from Cabelas.com.
