Review on Lowrance HOOK2 12: Advanced 12-inch Fish Finder with TripleShot Transducer and US Inland Lake Maps Included! by Daniel Russell

I excitedly bought this to use on my kayak to help with bass fishing. The installation went exactly as I planned without any problems. Something went wrong while using the device. I chose a device with preloaded maps hoping to use contour lines to narrow down fishing areas. However, I've been to 6 or 7 lakes in central North Carolina and not once did maps help. Although they contain some contour lines, they only show one line for every 10 feet of depth change (one line at 10 feet, one line at 20 feet, etc.). This negates any advantage the cards might offer. The bottom scan chart also gets stuck when I'm at 3.5ft. Because I'm in a kayak, I get blown ashore quite a bit (and I enjoy fishing in the shallows, too). Whenever the chart reaches 3.5 feet, the depth freezes and doesn't change no matter how deep I move my kayak. Отображаемое дно изменится, глубина, указанная вверху, не изменится, и шкала не изменится (это означает, что если я перейду на 20 футов, дно просто исчезнет с экрана. Я могу увидеть что-либо, отмеченное в верхних 5 футах водяного столба. , I'm not sure). This is only fixed by turning the device off and on again. On my last day on the water I probably did this about a dozen times before my 7Ah battery died after 3 hours and I was able to fish without a sonar for the rest of the day.
