Review on Humminbird 600009-8 LakeMaster Midsouth States Plus V3: Enhance Navigation with Digital GPS Maps Micro Card in Black by Hunter Siemon

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A necessary addition to the Humminbird device.

If you have a Humminbird fish finder, you should definitely buy this chip. The preloaded maps are decent, don't get me wrong, but the LakeMaster chip is something else entirely. Depths are in 1 foot increments instead of the 5 foot increments of the preloaded map, and the LakeMaster team meticulously displays the lakes on the map chip. You get a MUCH better view of depth changes, creek channels and riverbeds. Getting a Smartstrike chip also gives you a large percentage of ranges on your fish finder for any fish you fish, be it bass, crappie, catfish, etc. At first I thought that was a bit of an exaggeration, but it's worth it Buy to maintain chart accuracy, especially if you're on a new lake and unsure of depth changes. Run at 30 mph over a rocky hump in the middle of a lake and you'll appreciate the difference in mapping technology.

Pros
  • Price
Cons
