Members Paul Nienhaus Posted December 11, 2014 Members Share Posted December 11, 2014 Has anyone seen or used a helix 5 si by humminbird? It seems to be a value priced fishfinder - I am just starting to look. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChiefTIm Posted December 11, 2014 Members Share Posted December 11, 2014 Gander Mountain has the best on-line prices I could find. Got two Lowrance HDI Elite 5 combos for the price of one at Bass Pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members olbasser Posted December 12, 2014 Members Share Posted December 12, 2014 Unit seems to have a lot of features for the price. My concern right now is the screen size. Think you would use a lot of split screen. Will that 5 inch screen give "seeable" detail? Of course, moving to 800 series adds another $ 300.00. Spend that on better glasses or a new finder?

Members jimalert3 Posted December 19, 2014 Members Share Posted December 19, 2014 I'M also loohing for a new fishfinder. Never owned an expensive one but now am thinhing about $500. W also ask if anyone would consider an underwater camera instead of a fishfinder. Thanks, old 90 year old fisherman am still trying to get a lunker.

Members Paul Nienhaus Posted December 19, 2014 Author Members Share Posted December 19, 2014 i'm interested, but the smaller 5 inch screen may be a little small. I will head to bass pro to take a look. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moguy1973 Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Tackle Warehouse has these for a good price. http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Humminbird_Helix_5_Sonar/descpage-HX.html -- JimIf people concentrated on the really important things in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles. -- Doug Larson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
