Norcross Hawkeye FF3355P Fish Finder

User Review: 5 out of 5 stars - Love-the_ lake lady
So far we are enjoying the Norcross fishfinder. Actually we are using it at this time more for a depth finder because we have had little precipitation and are concerned about hitting stumps or dragging bottom. It is performing well.

User Review: 5 out of 5 stars - portable Kayak Canoe depth finder
I don't fish, I Kayak. Bought it for a portable depth finder in the rivers and lakes I frequent. Works perfect for that and tells the bottom terrain.
Easy set up and directions. It is portable and water proof. I stick it on the kayak with velcro.



User Review: 5 out of 5 stars - It Actually Works!
Unlike the Humminbird RF35, the Norcross Hawkeye can actually detect the fish!

I've used both, the Humminbird works fine as a depth finder, but has difficulty detecting fish. The Hawkeye, on the other hand, sees them.

Case in point, on a recent trip to Crane Prairie Reservoir (Oregon) we were looking for bass. According to the Hawkeye there weren't any fish when we checked their usual holding spots. When we finally moved over to the channel the Hawkeye started detecting fish (and we caught a few). Apparently the heat made the fish move to the deeper parts of the lake. Same thing happened on Paulina and Big Lava lakes. Without the Hawkeye we probably wouldn't have caught a thing!

Also, the Hawkeye uses plain old AAA batteries, unlike the Humminbird which uses an expensive lithium-ion 2450CR watch battery. (The AAAs seem to last longer, too.)




User Review: 4 out of 5 stars - Cool Device -- No more Guessing
My son and I used this cool device on our recent fishing trip and it performed well. We spotted fish concentrations with ease in no time. This device is handy especially if you are renting a boat and have no time to waste to catch fish quickly. I love this device.

However, I would also like to see some product enhancements though.
1. Include a SAVE SETTING feature - this device does not save your settings. You have to re-set it each time you power up.
2. Include an instant fish depth numerical screen readout. The current design has graphical boxes that you have to arithmetically calculate each time it spots fishes (i.e. divide the depth by ten and multiply the shaded depth indicator box on the screen). No time for math --- only fishing!!
