There are dozens of features on here that make it stand out, including the WeedID feature, that lets you see the exact fishes that are below you. In addition to that, you will be able to read down to 99 feet without any trouble, and always see everything because of the VirtuView LCD display.

A two-stage portable fish finder alarm lets you know when something is approaching, while the superior side scanning adapter makes it possible to scan from side to side, making sure you never miss anything. That works through attaching the adapter to the end of a stick, or even your paddle if you want to have the easiest way of saving space. This will also let you get a good look at the shallow waters that you can get to with your smaller boats that let you get into places you otherwise wouldn’t ever find with a larger boat.

For a handheld option that is incredibly versatile and useful, you will be hard pressed to do any better than this, especially when you consider that it is powered by just 4 AAA batteries for up to 20 hours.

To start with, there is an incredible 5.7” display that offers a photo-like look at the world below. With the CHIRP dual channel sonar, you’ll be able to target both fish and the debris on the bottom without having anything to worry about. By including Navionics charts, they have also made it possible to constantly see your precise location and where you are going, without getting lost, but also with the opportunity to save your favorite fishing spots and make sure you can come back time and time again.

What is important here is the tilt/swivel quick release holder that attaches easily and lets you remove the unit as needed. Without being forced to install it in an in-depth way, you will have the best opportunity to attach it to any kayak or smaller boat.

If you are looking for the absolute top of the line, highly detailed, highly portable fishfinding option possible, you need to check this one out.

To start, there is a 4.3” display that is super bright and easy to read even in the brightest light, thanks to the powerful LED backlighting. There are 70% more pixels than you will find on any of the previous models in this line, too. With their exclusive method of Hybrid Dual Imaging, you’ll have two of the best technologies in the industry combined in a way that gives a highly detailed view of the current location of your craft along with a one of a kind look at the underside of the water.

In doing that, you won’t need to adjust any of the settings either, since the Advanced Signal Processing feature makes it easy to see everything and calibrate itself, without your input. With the TrackBack, you’ll also be able to review recorded locations and see anything that you think you might have missed.

Finally, it stays portable and doesn’t take up much space at all. By being this light, you’ll benefit from it greatly and you'll be surprised how many more fish you start catching your first day of using it.

There is no denying their power in these regards, but there is an area where these color displays act as a bit of a hindrance. That area comes in the form of a shorter battery life. While you get more details and such with these color displays, they are also considerably more intense on your portable fish finder's battery pack. If you're someone who's more concerned about great battery performance, rather than having a color display, Humminbird's Piranhamax 176i GPS Fishfinder Combo is absolutely worth a look.

Fish Finder GPS unit is built directly into the fish finder, and it provides for very detailed and precise information regarding the area that you're currently in. Additionally, the interface that Humminbird has included is extremely easy to use and should prove to be perfect for those who are the first time owners of a fish finder.

Finally, the included DualBeamTM sonar system allows you to get extremely detailed stats and data on the waters that you're in. This allows you to get detailed readings on not only fish but anything else that's picked up in the waters below your boat.
