Overview
Anglers on small boats and kayaks get a fishfinder that pairs traditional sonar with down-scanning to show fish and structure, plus GPS to mark spots. Quickdraw Contours builds a depth map of the water as you drive over it.
Making your own depth maps and saving waypoints turns an unmapped lake into familiar water over a few trips. The included transducer covers traditional and ClearVu sonar only, and the description borrows wording from another model, so check what is in the box.
Who it's for
Bass and walleye anglers fishing lakes without detailed charts who want to map contours themselves. Anglers who want SideVu imaging need to add a compatible transducer.
Pros and cons
- Builds your own contour maps
- GPS marks waypoints and routes
- Readable screen in sunlight
- Phone app for waypoints and updates
- No side scanning with this transducer
- No preloaded charts mentioned
- Description references another model
Performance notes
Target separation comes from CHIRP sonar sweeping a range of frequencies, and ClearVu adds a near-photographic view of what lies below the boat. Map quality from Quickdraw depends on how many passes are driven over an area.
