What do CHIRP, SideScan and Live Sonar mean?
CHIRP: a technology that sends sonar pulses over multiple frequencies to achieve a clearer reading of the bottom.
SideScan: enables lateral “views” relative to the boat, useful for identifying structure and fish.
Live Sonar: displays real-time movement beneath the boat.
Which Lowrance fishfinder should you choose?
Your choice depends mainly on three factors: intended use, boat size and your level of experience.
