Hi everyone! In anticipation of fishing season (can’t wait), I’m trying to decide on which 5-7” fish finder to buy. I mainly troll for trout, but also fish for crappie, in small lakes. My budget: $600. Brands being considered: Lowrance, Garmin, Hummingbird. Thanks in advance for your help!
All good brands - the real difference is in the features and the ease of use of the particular features you will be using. There was a suggestion to download the manuals prior to purchasing a unit - I strongly agree with that approach. There are significant differences, so figure out what will work easiest for you.

I have $1800 9" Lowrance in front and on the center console. I also have a 4" $200 Garmin on the back . The Garmin on the back does almost anything the Standard mode will do on the expensive unit. I am very happy with the Garmin as a basic fish finder unit. If you need GPS on split screen, then 4 inch is to small.
