LOWRANCE SOUTH AFRICA Issue 7 | Page 27

Team Lowrance SA spent two days test- ing the new HDS 16 CARBON – one day was at Inanda Dam with Fishtec, and the other day was out at sea with Jakes van den Berg, a local commercial angler. Mikala, John and Steph were impressed by this awesome unit – WHAT A MACHINE, this is definitely the ‘Rolls Royce’ of fishfinders! Mikala says the clarity is unbelievable as the bright back lighting and anti-reflective coatings on the ultra-wide screen – gives absolutely clear (and wider) viewing angles, regardless of the lighting. John was just as impressed – “It’s amazingly clear and the sheer size of the screen means I could even stand at the back of the boat (four metres away) and still clearly make out the fish on the screen – even with sun shining in my eyes or on the screen. The target separation is fantastic – you can clearly identify fish on the bottom. Even when we were out at sea in rough water, tracking the bottom was clear at high speed!” Loaded with a dual-core, high-performance processor, HDS Carbon delivers faster redraw speeds and quicker response times to easily power CHIRP sonar, Dual Network Sounder, StructureS- can® 3D, StructureMap™ and future high-powered fishfinding upgrades. HDS Carbon features integrated wireless and Bluetooth® connectivity that supports the most advanced marine technology, including a Network Analyzer that notifies users when new software is available, and a Service Assistant that transmits a detailed network report directly to technical support for custom hands-on assistance.
