The latest not-so-secret weapon of pro anglers is live sonar technology that allows anglers to adjust their technique by watching fish react to the lure in real-time. Sonar electronics manufacturer Lowrance has now migrated its live sonar technology down to its Eagle line of fishfinder displays. Eagle Eye provides an industry-first complete live sonar solution at an affordable price, combining CHIRP & DownScan in one transducer, along with C-MAP charting on a 9-inch display for $999.

Anglers of any level can now take advantage of this complete, high-quality live sonar solution to improve their technique by watching fish react to the lure in real-time,” says Jeremiah Clark, VP and General Manager, Fishing Systems at Navico Group, which owns Lowrance. “From four different sonar views to detailed C-MAP charts, this all-in-one package provides everything you need for a great day out on the water.”
