I don't see much use for that around here, but glad to see they're at least coming out with something new.

I'm curious to see if Lowrance unveils anything new at ICAST. Fingers crossed, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

more for open water. the targets would have to be quite large unless they are using two different sets of signal returns, kind of like using a ps22 for distance searching and lvs32(34) for anything less than 80ft.
On my buddies 16in screen you can see fish pretty clear at 100ft

yeah you have to have a larger screen for distance. with a ps22 you can see single crappie sized fish at about 150 to 175 with a 9" display.

i could do the same with the ps21. come in real handy picking off schooling crappie in feb and march. lol, people thought i was crazy or lying when i told them that. had one guy told me that crappie dont move up and down the lake like that.

anyhoo this lvs62 has a 265-550 khz range. mostly suited for deeper water.

These damm bottom machines, and those who use them, have gotten way out of hand. If you can't find fish in Freshwater without the use of one, you are pathetic. As for Saltwater, I've had the pleasure of being around some old school commercial Men who could find fish simply by knowing how deep it was under the boat, and what the current was doing at the surface ;)

I'm still running LV32 will for a while. Don't think I need to see 500' out from the boat.
I have a 32,just bought a 34 but havent been out with it yet.Have been out with a buddy that has the 34 and fished twice with him so far.The 34 is clearer and can see fish better farther out compared to the 32.Only reason i upgraded is because i got a deal on a 34,the. 32 works great.
