which would be better Hawkeye Portable or TL88

[dashingw]

Hi All,

A newbie here :evil

I am interested in going out and buying just a cheap inexpensive small fishfinder for the small amount I have a chance to do.

I have narrowed it down to a Hawkeye Portable or a TL88 (yellow made in china)

does anybody have any experience in one of these models. They are basically small hand held units with a floatable tranducer you can just throw over the side of the boat or of a dock etc.. (you can also mount them though) and read to 100m (good enough for me!!!)

It's hard to find reviews on them although I did on the Hawkeye and most of them were favourable. I would like to find out about the yellow one though as it seems to be a more rugged from the pictures anywyas

Any advice would be appreciated,

Thanks,
Dash

What is the price of these fishfinders?
To be honest, I would go with something of a brand that is familiar, Humminbird, Lowrance, Eagle.

For less than 100 bucks, you will already have a fishfinder for basic uses.
