Forward-facing sonar technology is making waves in the fishing world, offering anglers some serious advantages when it comes to catching fish. Take the LVS 34 freshwater transducer, for example. With this gadget, you can see up to 150 feet in front of your boat with pretty clear detail. It's become a real favorite among anglers, especially those who go after crappie and bass. In fact, it's become so popular that it's practically a must-have for bass tournament anglers. If you're hitting the tournament circuit without it, you're putting yourself at a disadvantage.
But it's not just freshwater anglers who are benefiting from this technology. There's a Garmin saltwater version called the LVS 62, which hooks up to the GLS10 just like the LVS 34 does. The big difference? The LVS 62 can scan up to 500 feet in freshwater and 350 feet in saltwater. It is also almost twice the size of the LVS 34. But that hasn't stopped anglers from installing it on their boats and trolling motor shafts.
