I have owned two units so far a lowrance x67 and a hummingbird 561, The lowrance was nice with it being color, but I paid double what I paid for the hummingbird after the lowrance died. At 149.00 I found it had just about everything I could want minus GPS. It is dual beam, for deep or shallow water and it also has plenty of power to see you jigs/rigs just fine. It did not come with a case, battery or ice transducer, but I was able to rig it into an old lunch box, battery I got at NPS for around 10 bucks and the transducer was easily rigged to work as portable unit, by adding a foam noodle to hold it level in the water. I can zoom into any level of the water column, several different views, even one for dual cone and I can distinguish perch/trout on the bottom pretty good.
While I am sure the Flashers are well worth it, but I would be hesitant to try one, because than I would know what I am missing. [

Also, if you go a similar route, I probably would have an old cooler/lunch box for ya if you need it.
