What customers say about "Key Specs"
Lowrance Hook-3X (000-12635-001) Sonar
- Great little sonar for my yak.
- Perfect for reading depth and temp from small boat.
- Decent depth finder for the money, I'm able to find brush piles with this unit.
- Accurate depth readings while trolling around and with motor running.
- This is not designed for 100's of feet of water. Other more powerful units are made for that.
Humminbird 398ci (409380-1) Side Imaging Combo Chartplotter/Fishfinder
- The down imaging is great and I could see so much on the bottom even with the small screen size.
- Easy to install and easy to use. Use on a jon boat in small lake. Down-scan and sides-scan hard to see with small screen.
- The fish finders and side view work surprisingly well for the price.
- Good unit. Gets lost with small amount of debris in water, but all in all happy
- Side imaging at this price is amazing, while you can't see as clear as the marketing pics show, once you figure out dialing in the settings, it's a great structure finding tool.

What customers say about "Interface"
Lowrance Hook-3X (000-12635-001) Sonar
- Crystal clear viewing even in the sun.
- Picture is decent and clear, i fish a lot of smaller lakes and using for for find variation in structure.
- The Lowrawnce unit is a breeze to install, has a clear, bright, screen and works at plenty high speeds.
- Very detailed imaging and it fits well on my console.
- This is perfect for us, great graphics, easy to understand.
Humminbird 398ci (409380-1) Side Imaging Combo Chartplotter/Fishfinder
- Very clear and readable screen for the size and exceeded my expectations.
- Obviously screen is tiny. However, has all the bells and whistles and perfect size for ice flasher. Can't beat the price.
- Small screen but fine for the few times we use the boat.
- The screen is easy to read wish it was a little bigger. Great price for a fish finder and GPS combo, would recommend to a friend.
- The main limitation is that the screen is small but that's part of the package so it's not really a complaint.

Humminbird 398ci (409380-1) Side Imaging Combo Chartplotter/Fishfinder
- The installation took about 2 hours and I am no expert I had to read a lot. Purchase this product with the rig rite tranducer mount if it is a trolling motor mount.
- Do like the transponder being small so I don't to raise the motor up to see side scan.
- Very nice unit works great not hard to mount
- GPS is great for speed, tracking and marking spots.
- The GPS, side imagining, size, and price all contributed to me purchasing the combo.
