Lowrance Hook Review (Lowrance Hook 7 GPS/Fishfinder) 

Definitely

you he seems certainly relaxed . Lol good for him

Thanks.

Thanks. I just posted a tutorial video of the hook2 5 split shot.

Tom Kelsey I have a couple. Look at my page for “how to use a fish finder” or “lowrance hook catching bass.” If you’re going to buy one now, they have new models called lowrance hook2. I made a review and how to use it. Thanks.

You're welcome. Thanks.

Depending on your depth, the cone angle when set at 83khz will give you a 1:1 depth to diameter ratio as he explains. So, if you’re in 20 ft of water and your transducer is mounted on the back of your boat you would be looking at a 20ft diameter area to cast directly below the transducer. Some of the more expensive models can actually pick up your fishing line and lure which can help you put your lure/bait exactly where you want it. Not sure if the hook series is capable or not. If not, I’d cast out and reel in making a fan pattern, that way you are most likely to present the bait to the fish.

Think it was a 6v battery.

thanks, man. just look for those inclines, and you'll start putting more bas in the boat.

Thank you.

Yes. First one.

Thanks.

Rj Rj it comes with a bracket that is flush. you can bolt to deck or dash. If you’re talking about the transducer, id get a plate to mount it on, then bolt the plate to your boat.

the transducer is cheap and weak in critical areas. research !!!

apparently only downscale would work at those depths, but I wouldn't know. I don't fish salt water.

Fred Lindh what’s up?

Mark Vogeler don’t give up on graduating charm school.

good luck.

Jerome Phillips thanks man. I did a video about how to use a fish finder if you’re interested.

Cody Rumfield nice. Good luck this season. If you want to know which settings do what, check this video out: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OkunlSx-_p0.html

Nathaniel Mulcahy yeah, if you know how to use a fish finder, they’re great.

Nathaniel Mulcahy just got the 9

The_guy_that_brake_checks_ Jerkoffs they don’t make the hook 9 any more. The discontinued it. they make hook 2x now with a triple shot and split shot. The hook 2 9x retails for 800 on Amazon. I don’t think there’s a considerable difference between the size 9 and 7. I guess it depends how much money you have. If you can throw around a lot of cash, grab a 9. If not, you’d be fine with a 7. Also, if you have cash, consider a touch screen unit such as the elite or HDS. However you’ll be fine with a hook.

Does it have a ice flasher mode? Can this model be used for ice fishing?

Nice dude. I hope it worked out.

Not sure, but I don’t think so

But I really have no idea if that model supports total scan.

@@MaineManBassing read please and tell me what you understand: Lowrance Lowrance HOOK Reveal and HOOK² TripleShot models. MORE VIEWS: TripleShot transducer gives you DownScan sonar (straight down), SideScan sonar (up to 300' to each side), and CHIRP sonar (fish arch) views.

@@sakissas7975 yeah, but I don’t know if this particular model in this video supports triple shot transducers. If you get the hook 2 or the hook reveal, then yes. But this model in this video is the original hook.

Go Knights!

lr00098 it’s mostly when turning. It’s just a little slow. And actually, I’d say the slower the boat is moving, the slower it can appear to refresh. Also, my boat doesn’t get past 22 mph.

Yes

I have this unit but I haven’t been able to figure how to do it 😏

Yes. They are called trails.

William Riley I feel like it gives me a lot more control bringing in the fish. It’s also a lot more fun for me. Also, it puts less pressure/stress on the line and the eyes of the pole.

William Riley I'm with you, but a lot of pros would differ.

@@unicornsteaks6769 A little tougher to back reel on a baitcaster tho...

Bruce p no problem. This is an older model. The new model is the lowrance hook2. It’s pretty much the same thing. Only one sonar frequency, but it’s a lot better.

William Junior yes.

Maine Man Bassing thank you , i Will buy

Madis thanks, man. Good luck.

Madis check out my video of how to use a fish finder.

menu ....return to navigation... enter

@@lylepaulmart1283 Thanks Lyle I went into menu but return to nav doesnt appear anywhere. do i need to go further into another settings screen ?

"return to navigation" doesnt appear

I have no idea. I will try to find out, but it may take some time. Im pretty sure you can use CMAP genesis.

TheSilverSurfisher this is a Lowrance HOOK review. I showed those clips to prove I know what I’m talking about and can use the unit effectively. I made a separate video of on water action catching fish I located with the fish finder. I also made a video on how to use a fish finder - how to use the frequencies and settings to optimize your fishing experience.

Maine Man Bassing ok I will search for those vids because this Loweance Fish2 is driving me nuts! I’ve swapped out two of the Fish2 5’s and now I upgraded to a 7 so I can see the stuff on the screen better...but afraid I won’t get that clear, crisp, detailed imaging that everyone on all these videos have...Thanks for the reply and info of your other vids....

TheSilverSurfisher watch my two videos: how to use a fish finder and Lowrance HOOK catching bass. How to use a fish finder will help you more than the hook catching bass. Both are on my RU-vid page under how to section.

TheSilverSurfisher also, this is a hook 7, not a Hook2 7. There’s a difference. Completely different models.

Either way, how to use a fish finder will help you use the unit and show you where to look for bass.

Miguel Etheridge I have it hooked up to my boat battery, and I’m running it on demo mode.

Thanks for your prompt reply. I have ordered an extra power cable so that I can set cords and other stuff at home instead of outside in the 90 temps. Thanks again

No Problem. I had to order extra wire and splice everything.

Brian White is mount it on the deck. It can get to be a pain in the butt if it’s in the back because you’ll end up pusshing your boat backwards.

Brian White check out my how to use a fish finder video if you don’t have an understanding of fish finder units.

I misunderstood. I would mount it on the back. That way, when you're cruising, you can still read imaging .

Thans for the kind words. Check out how to use a fish finder for a better understanding of the frequencies: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OkunlSx-_p0.html&lc=z22hdxaikpiytnmstacdp433svz1dyez4d1iyuka1v1w03c010c

Mike C Nice!

Daniel Mullin awesome. Here’s a video that explains how to use it: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OkunlSx-_p0.html Good luck.

Yes. I'm a proud graduate of that school.

I was like no freaking way small world haha. Great area for fishing the finger lakes I love it.

Nice. I never fished up there. My parents are near the city in Middletown. I don't fish there that much though. I really miss Geneseo. Miss that small town feel. I remember one time in Geneseo, I asked this old-timer for directions, and he said something like, "oh, you mean you're going downtown." Ha, didn't know Main street was considered downtown.

Maine Man Bassing the fishing is phenomenal around there but yea it's a nice place that's for sure

That was my first thought too! Go Geneseo! Swimming alum here

Iain R Hanks man. Wish I could help you with your problems.

I set my hook2 up on the boat and it works like a dream.

Check your settings. make sure you're on auto range.

bamagent37 you have to buy them from Navionics etc. or you can load them from c-map genesis. Or you can log sonar, upload logs to cmap, then they’ll make it on the social map, then you can download it.

Ok do you have a video on how to do this on the hook 7. Never done it

bamagent37 I don’t have a video. I should make one though. Until then google cmap genesis. You need to register your unit.

Maine Man Bassing ok thanks

Maine Man Bassing Another question the map card that come with the hook 7. Whats on it ? Cause I can be on a lake and pull it out and it looks the same lol
