It can almost be overwhelming when looking for an electronic gadget like a fishfinder because
there are so many options. To help you narrow the search you might like to know that ever since the
inception of the Humminbird company their fishfinders have been top sellers.
For the recreational angler the Humminbird fishfinder 535 is an easy-to-use device. The 535 offers a
large screen that gives a sharp clear image that will help you find the fish. While the device is
easy to use it still has lots of functionality and several advanced features.
If you're looking to make the catch without breaking your budget then the Humminbird 535 is just
what you are looking for. You might say it's a budget catch that won't break your budget. Even
though it's a low-cost device it has some really powerful features like a sonar beam optimized for
coverage that gives you precise details of the bottom at up to 800 feet. Of course that is the
manufacturers specification and several real-world users have reported less success than 800
feet.
The Humminbird 535 is small so it won't take up a lot of room on your boat or in your gear. Even
though it's small it offers real-time sonar that captures the action happening below you at up to 40
times per second. To further enhance things the 535 has sonar Echo enhancement to bring into focus
even the smallest details.
The high-resolution screen offers a 5 inch LCD that offers 16 levels of grayscale. It is set up to
display several configurations to show several different presentations in white line, high contrast,
bottom black or structure ID bottom. This gives you some flexibility in choosing the way you want to
see your screen displayed.
The Humminbird 535 is capable of an accurate display even up to speeds of 70 mph. The device even
includes water temperature readings to help you find the hot and cold spots.
To make navigating the menus on the 535 easier it uses an x-press menu system that makes it easier
to select things with fewer clicks. It also offers one-button clicking to select through several
different zoom levels from the zoom scale of two through eight. And also has features that give you
a lapsed time, distance and your average speed if you acquire the optional speed sensor. And should
you get caught out after sunset or just like the dark the Hummingbird 535 has an LED backlight so
you can still see where the fish are.
As mentioned the 535 is rather compact making it really easy to take with you wherever you go. And
because it has an easy mounting system it's easy to transfer from your boat to your friends boat.
This fishfinder is built tough is waterproof and even floats. No need to stress about accidentally
dropping it in the water, just fish it out, put it on the mount and go get some fish.
