Well guys once you have cleared out all the sales, make sure you stop by our booth.

I would check out the Humminbird line of sonars when you are there as well. Over the past few years Humminbird has become the leader in leading edge sonar IMO, and continues this fall with the realease of the 360 transducer for all the SI units.

The 360 willl work on the following SI models but is not going to be released until the end of August. MSRP (US) at this time is in the 2K range.They are still field testing and are looking at adding a few features, one being marked footage scales from the boat to the outer "circle" to make distance identification easier. The first sonar to show information up to 150 feet in all directions with a real time readout similar to radar, going to be pretty amazing I think. You will be able to view a complete 360 or each direction individually and be able to zoom in on 360 veiw or each direction for improved detail. A lot of the info and technology is still pretty protected (from Humminbird) but I will be in the booth for the rest of the week and try to answer any questions you may have.
As of the official release only the current Ethernet Systems on the 798ci HD, 898c, 998c, and 1198c can operate the 360 Imaging. Units already in the field will only need software update that Humminbird will provide at no charge to allow the 360 Imaging to connect to models that are already in the field. The only ethernet unit not compatible at this time is the 1197c which the internal working of the Ethernet system are different...my understanding they are reviewing to see if future compatibility will be adaptable.

Walleye101 · #18 03-22-2012, 11:50 AM

I won't be going. Wish I was though. Spent all my money on a New Lund Impact 1775 last weekend at the sportsman show.

Darren N · #19 03-22-2012, 12:24 PM

Does Humminbird have units with broadband sonar?

Sea Hawk · #22 03-22-2012, 01:42 PM

they told me at the fishing hole that Campers village would not be there this year due to a scheduling problem with the mayfield and there was to be a boat display instead.

YeeHaw · #23 03-22-2012, 02:29 PM

Just finished up in the show, Picked up a new Abu Garcia Rod and a set of Muck boots to complete the wader setup.
Awesome show! Lots of awesome deals!

mosbos · #26 03-22-2012, 08:09 PM

Got a good deal on a 6 weight G Loomis rod, fly line and titanium steel leaders. Entered a few raffles and made it home on the slick roads. Life is good. Bring on April 1st and the start of river fishing for trout!

Willowtrail · #27 03-22-2012, 10:19 PM

Just got home a few dollars lighter. Couple new bait casters and some cheap rods to throw them on. Lots of rods at 40% off. About 8 less there now after me and my buddies got into them.

Also got a smokin deal on a new Amundson Fly rod 9wt.
Bring on spring pike at Wab...

Picked up some free swag from the reps as well. Had a good chat with Vic from STS Guiding Service.

Nickote316 · #28 03-22-2012, 10:29 PM

Had a wicked time tonight. New owner of a 5wt Redington CT classic rod and a 5/6wt Amundson TXS fly reel. Now I have to learn how to fly fish

. Had a good chat with Paul at the AO booth and bought a bunch of magazines. Spent a good of time BSing with a bunch of reps. Liked this show alot more than the boat and sportsman show.
