The best kind of budget devices are the ones that make you forget that money was ever an issue because the value of that device seems so ridiculously high. For a fishfinder, this broadly means a device which fulfills all of your fish spying and tracking needs; it can more narrowly mean you have purchased a Lowrance Elite-4x, which contains much of the power and elegance of more expensive models while being simplistic enough to warrant a low comparative price.
Lowrance Mark-5X DSI Portable boasts extremely clear views of the water below you, due to the Lowrance DownScan Imaging technology included on the device. The scanning abilities are so powerful you are basically presented with crisp pictures of everything below you. This is possible because of the serious power running through the Mark-5x DSI (4,000W peak to peak and 500W RMS) for top of the line sonar scanning. Depths reached are as deep as 250 feet. There is a caveat: for the best picture clarity, boat speed should be below 10mph.

One of the most advantageous features is the Down Imaging which gives you life-like depiction for up to 250 feet. The model also comes with an optional 200/50 kHz transducer which will give you reliability up to 3,000 feet.
I have been out fishing with the Humminbird 1158c DI tracker religiously after I bought it. Each time I have been blown away with the extreme detail that is provided on the 10.4 inch screen. It has a clean 600X800 pixel resolution that works beautifully with the LCD screen. This is all available at a reasonable price when comparing to similar products before I made my purchase. It comes with a one year warranty so you can make sure that it is the right product for you before you keep it for good.
