Fish finder recommendations

[ATL827]

I've got a small 14' jon boat with a deck, 9.9, and a trolling motor that I take to a couple local lakes to fish. My 20+ year old fish finder bit the dust recently and I'm looking to replace it in the next month or so. Reading reviews on amazon is giving me a headache. Does anyone have any recommendations for sub $150 fish finders?

I know @acc05R1 does a lot of fishing now, he might be able to help.

Technology has improved so much thru the years I would think most are comparable at that price range. I've used Lowrance/ Eagle products for thirty plus years and to me they're the best for the money. There are multiple fishing forums you should look up.
good luck!

In that range, I'd look for a Lowrance Hook

Maybe even one of the Garmin units will fit the bill

Those are the 2 I think I've limited down to, the Lowrance Hook 4 and the Garmin Striker Plus 4vc. They both seem to have similar features, positive reviews, and are both around $180. I think I'll head to academy or bass pro and see what I think about them in person.

I have been really happy with my Lowrance. I am using the HDS 8 Gen 2. I do most of my fishing in Lake Superior so fishing pretty deep most of the time but was amazed at what it marks vs my old LCX 7.
