What is the BEST FORWARD Facing Sonar in 2021?! So far we have the Garmin Livescope which has recently been updated as well as the BRAND NEW Lowrance Active Target.... Which is the best? No joking around... No Bias..
I break it down into three different tests to get a good idea of what will actually be useful in REAL fishing situations.
Hopefully this helps answer some people's questions and helps YOU get a better idea of what is out there..
PS: Rumor has it that the new competitor will be emerging soon so stay tuned for my opinion on that as well!

Wow lots haters on here..... lowrance won simply due to a narrower cone angle which gives more details. All of the image issues the others are talking about can be adjusted with the gain for perfect images. This video is about effective ranges. This type of settings would not necessarily be used in real life. My bet if you were not focused on range but instead focused on image quality the lowrance would still win. Smaller cone angle equals better images. Most on here are Garmin live scope users and just hating because they just got beat by lowrance. Yes Garmin was first but as of right now not the best.

@WheelerFishing 3 года назад

100%

@testboga5991 3 года назад

It seems very close actually. Lowrance has more aggressive post processing with some introduced artifacts, Garmin had the softer image. Don't get hung up on cone angle. 18 vs 20 deg is tiny and you don't know how they calculate it. It could actually be exactly the same angle and one company uses -3dB and the other -5dB etc. That happened with 2D transducers.

@pyroozrat6565 3 года назад

If someone does not have the same opinion that you have they aren’t automatically haters and btw a narrower cone angle has nothing to do with better details. Pls get your facts straight!

I switched to Garmin for everything from Lowrance. When he was trying to pick up the A rig, the Garmin showed way more detail on the bottom out to 60-70 feet. The Lowrance was nearly just a blank screen.

@cobbs 3 года назад

weird how people perceive things. I switched to Humminbird from Lowrance. never tried Garmin. Closer in, Garmin picked up the structure better. But picking up the fish farther out, Lowrance clearly looked better to me. 20:43 is the prefect example. I know it's not simultaneous, but overall, it looked like Lowrance did a better job of picking up the individual fish.

great video! looking into the whole live imaging gear myself. Currently have a solix 10, so Humminbird may be a great option for me. if the system performs well. although, I am considering adding a unit at the bow. This video gives me some good insight on a side by side view. Thank you! Good luck this season! always been a fan.

@AustinLOZ 3 года назад

I've had livescope for just over a year. The narrow beam on the Lowrance probably helps to see things a little bit further out. In my experience with LS, once you get it dialed in for your particular conditions (water clarity, turbulence etc.) it is pretty easy to find your bait and know what's going on. I usually keep my unit around 100ft out and 30-50' deep, depth depending on which lake. I can easily see my a rig at those settings, and can see jigs, swimbaits, spinnerbaits, and jerkbaits. It has definitely changed my fishing and allowed me to catch a lot more fish by finding additional structure, or seeing how fish react to your bait. My vote still goes to Garmin based on this video, but ultimately it's better for all of us when there is competition. Better innovations and lower prices when they compete.

@FishOutLoud 3 года назад

@foggybottombbq2738 3 года назад

Good comparison overview. Looks like Lowrance has a bit more power in length. But the issue I see with Lowrance has a lot more blurry/noise objects that scan across the screen. Not sure if what that is. Garmin seems to be a clearer all around image.

@coosariverfishing2764 3 года назад

@greyhunter9287 3 года назад

Thanks for doing this Jacob! It was very helpful. Honestly, I thought the Lowrance was better in some of the areas you pointed out, but that weird pulsing going across the screen would be a deal breaker for me. It bothers my eyes. Also, in looking over the forums and some of the guys I’ve talked to at the landing after fishing I’ve noticed several folks have switched from Lowrance to Garmin or Humminbird. Most of them their reasoning was the same and it was because they had problems with Lowrance’s service. However, to be fair that was in the past. I would be very curious to know if Lowrance has stepped up their game in that area or if it is still the same. That would be my biggest concern and why I would go with Garmin as my brother has had excellent customer service with Garmin.

I have heard many people complain of interference using active target in conjunction with mega 360. On the other hand you can keep garmin livescope one inch from your 360 pod with no interference. I would also say a wider cone is better esp because most of us bass guys have our live technology on trolling motor mounts. (Live scope user, never used active target but im sure it works well)
