When I'm fishing 150' down, tight line mono, to a jig, for lingcod, I'm Euro nymphing. So you're good.
Crap, I don’t need one of these. But I think I do want it. For those of you who have also used the Fishin Buddy 120, how would you compare? Is the Garmin a major upgrade?
And, how’s the market for FB 120s these days? I don’t really use the “side finder” to much effect, I don’t think. Are they at all a sought after item anymore?

So let me share some thoughts as this was my first time out. Garmin made this stupid easy and fun to use. You can very easily switch between different views and different frequencies. My favorite was a split screen view with a wide beam standard sonar and a high frequency clear view. This gives me a large cone of view and then a detailed image. There is zero question when you are marking fish. In the clear view they are shaped like little ovals and in standard view arches.
I didn't play around too much with the map and way point features yesterday.
Mainly cause I didn't catch much
The only negative I can really think of is the transducer is decent size and you deal with a lot of cords. So I'll be zip tying those and figuring out a container. The strap with transducer mount and fish finder mount stayed in place and had zero play. The whole setup seems solid.
I don't think I'll miss my 120. The more detailed look of what's down below for me offsets the loss of the side scan.
Thanks @Billy
I’ve never been attached to the side finder on the FB 120. And the narrow cone makes it unreliable for marking fish in <18-20’ of water. But it’s been great for finding structure and keeping me in the zone when I can’t see the changes in 10+ feet. I’ll probably stick with it until it quits.

You will stick with it until I let you borrow mine for a day
