“Enough” never is. Humminbird has come too far, delved too deep and tied too many lines to turn back now. Years on the water, in the factory and back at the lab have made them smarter, sharper and hungrier for more. Because your biggest fish will always be the one you haven’t caught yet. Humminbird search has yielded some of the best sonar technologies on the water. But their success isn’t measured in the number of features they put in their products; it’s measured in the pounds you put in your livewell.
  • Sonar
  • Navigation
  • Situational Awareness
    • MEGA Imaging
      Look closely. You've never seen anything like new MEGA Imaging™. Delivering nearly 3X the output of standard Side Imaging®, this groundbreaking technology takes fishfinding into the megahertz frequency for the very first time. It's indisputably the clearest, sharpest sonar image ever-brought to you by the undisputed leader.
      MEGA Imaging has you covered from multiple angles. Choose MEGA Side Imaging for an incredible view to the left and right of your boat. Opt for MEGA Down Imaging® for a crystal clear picture below your boat. Both technologies are built into select HELIX® 12, 10 and 9 G2N models.
      Some of the best fishing happens in depths less than 125 ft. And that's where the high frequency beam of MEGA Imaging shines brightest. In MEGA Side Imaging mode, you'll have coverage out to 125 ft on either side of your boat. For depths in excess of 125 ft and coverage out to 400 ft to either side of your boat, the blended beam gives you traditional Humminbird Imaging clarity.

      CHIRP
      Only Humminbird lets you view low, medium and high CHIRP ranges, either individually or all at once. Dial in a specific kHz, search a defined range or cover the entire spectrum - it’s up to you. Because it uses a broader range of frequencies, Humminbird CHIRP also delivers extreme target separation, lower noise and richer, higher-resolution images and the power to reach depths of 10,000 feet (3,000 meters).

      Simple as see fish, catch fish

      Your fishing arsenal isn’t limited to one or two lures. No sir. It’s filled with options. Imagine your Humminbird® as a tackle box. You have a wealth of tools at your fingertips, each with its own job. And think of Humminbird CHIRP as yet another lure, with a specific task: showing you fish that other forms of SONAR cannot.
      Nothing fishy here. With CHIRP, you can tell the difference between a sport fish, a baitfish and a weed based on the finely detailed arches.
      Don’t miss a thing. Thanks to the precision of CHIRP, you can clearly identify subtle structural details, like bridge cables, that can clue you into where the fish are.
      Filter out the nonsense. CHIRP sweeps multiple frequencies to eliminate confusing noise and interference. For example, see separation between fish and brush.
      No more “blobs.” In traditional 2D SONAR, it can be difficult to tell where one object begins and another ends. It won't work with CHIRP.
      Dial it in. CHIRP allows you to select individual frequencies, enabling you to see the smallest details. For instance, monitor your jigging action on screen.
      Get to the bottom of it. By blasting more energy below the surface, CHIRP SONAR can take you to extreme depths with greater accuracy.
      All forms of CHIRP are not created equal. While competitors were flooding the market with technologies that barely qualify for the term, Humminbird was developing and perfecting a true Broadband CHIRP worthy of its innovative legacy. Humminbird did not cut corners - with full broadband capabilities built into the HELIX™ 12 Series CHIRP models. And while the competition picks just a few frequencies for you, Humminbird gives you full spectrum capability, plus the power to select your own start and end frequencies.
      Unless you have a PhD in SONAR interpretation, raw CHIRP information is meaningless without the right software to connect the data points. Humminbird’s CHIRP Processing Engine uses proprietary algorithms to more efficiently compare and crunch CHIRP data
      Traditional transducers put you on hold, wasting valuable time “charging up” before each SONAR pulse. Humminbird CHIRP transducers are engineered to minimize charge time, firing off more pulses in a given period of time. More pulses mean more information
      Humminbird Broadband CHIRP delivers impressive detail and accuracy in virtually any freshwater application. Compared to peer technologies, this best-in-class CHIRP sweeps more frequencies, while using superior transducer and data processing to deliver unrivaled fish-finding precision. For maximum convenience, this 1kW technology is built into your Humminbird HELIX 12 head unit.
      • 1kW / Built-in
      • Range of 28kHz-490kHz on the HELIX 12 DI to a range of 28kHz-250kHz on the Helix 12 SI and GPS. Depths down to 3,500 ft

      For deepwater applications, up the ante with HD Broadband CHIRP. You’ll be able to target frequencies from 42kHz to 210kHz, sweeping low, medium and high ranges, with coverage down to 10,000 feet. This fully networkable, 2kW powerhouse is offered as a black box addition to your Humminbird ONIX® or ION™.
      360 Imaging
      Revolutionary Humminbird® 360 Imaging™ offers a detailed, 360 degree view around your boat. Visualize it as a thin sonar wall extending 150 feet to either side of your vessel. This wall rotates to create a 300-foot circle enabling you to see areas virtually impossible to reach with other types of sonar. And, because the sonar wall moves, you don't have to, so you can see where fish are, before they see you.
      For greater on-water flexibility, 360 Imaging lets you choose from five beam speed settings. Lower beam speeds lead to higher image quality but lower refresh rates. Conversely, higher beam speeds result in lower image quality but higher refresh rates. With five options, you can find the ideal setting for your boat speed, water conditions, and need for detail.
      Want to get the most of 360 Imaging and its unprecedented coverage area? You're in the right place. We've broken down several screenshots to help you make sense of this revolutionary technology.
      • A- Boat Location. Located in the center of the screen, rotating beam.
      • B- Beam Location in a 360 degree radius around the boat.
      • C- Water Column. The dark circle around your boat shows what's directly below you.
      • D- Flat Terrain. Neutral shades of blue.
      • E- Rising Terrain. Lighter shades of blue.
      • F- Descending Terrain. Dark shades of blue.
      • G- Cover and Structure. Objects standing off the bottom appear as a bright shape with an adjacent, dark sonar "shadow." The length of the shadow indicates the objects height.
      For the first time ever, you can see up to 150 feet in front of your sonar pod, either in full 360 mode or by isolating your sweep area. New 360 Imaging allows you to isolate your sweep area of water from 10 to 360 degrees. You can lock in your beam anywhere - but the area in front of your boat is especially useful. With valuable intelligence on fish-holding structure and cover waiting up ahead, you can cast to productive areas without spooking fish. Because your beam has less ground to cover, you'll also benefit from a faster refresh rate.
      Side Imaging
      It’s all in the details. Gain a 180 degree side-to-side perspective on the world below the surface with remarkable Humminbird® Side Imaging®. In an instant, the ultra-thin beam scans the area up to 240 feet to the left and right of your boat location—for total coverage of up to 480 feet. The return image for each slice is then added to the images taken immediately before and after to build an incredible view of the lake bottom. You can then magnify the detail of the image with the zoom feature or mark the GPS location of promising cover or structure directly on the screen. Side Imaging's high-frequency beams reveal structure, cover, and contour changes with crystal clarity. The images are so real you might think it’s a camera, but it’s not, so it doesn’t matter how murky the water is.
      Understanding a few simple concepts will help you grasp the detailed images of Humminbird Side Imaging and make you a master of the lake or sea bottom. Compare the screenshot and diagram to help visualize how Side Imaging works. Humminbird has included several callouts to explain what you’re seeing. Remember, Side Imaging is a history of what you’ve already passed by.
      • A- Boat Location. The position of your boat in relation to the on-screen image. The on-screen image is a history of what you have passed over.
      • B- Water column. The dark blue area shows structure, cover and activity between the surface and lake bottom.
      • C- Bottom Profile. Reveals depth and terrain directly beneath the path of your boat.
      • D- Flat Terrain. Neutral shades of blue represent flatter terrain.
      • E- Descending Terrain. Dark shades of blue represent descending terrain.
      • F- Rising Terrain. Lighter shades of blue typically represent terrain rising from the bottom. Sometimes, very hard bottoms appear as a whiter shade.
      • G- Fallen Log. The shortened horizontal shadows indicate cover very close to the bottom of the lake. The angle of the shadow gives away the orientation of the log.
      • H- Standing Timber.

      Objects standing off the bottom directly below the boat will appear in the water column. Structure to the left or right of the boat will appear as a clearly defined bright shape with an adjacent, dark sonar "shadow." This shadow is not caused by light; rather it's the lack of sonar return because the object has already reflected the sonar energy. Generally, long shadows indicate the object is tall, and small shadows indicate something is short. It's important to note the shadow will often tell you more about the object than the primary sonar reflection.
      Reading the image produced by Humminbird Side Imaging is easy. Simply visualize the screen folded in half down the middle (behind the boat). Then, fold the image again at the lowest point of the water column.
      Humminbird Side Imaging Sonar uses a razor thin beam to take a “sonar snapshot” of the area up to 240 ft. to the left and right of your location. The return image for this slice is then added to the images taken immediately.

      Storm the seas with a fully loaded Humminbird. Incredible Side Imaging® and Down Imaging® combine for a detailed, 180? view of the water. Dynamic SwitchFire™ Sonar shows you baitfish, thermoclines and other dead giveaways of where fish are hiding.
      Down Imaging
      Sometimes, to catch fish, not only do you have to think like one, you've got to see like one. Get a fish-eye’s view of what’s happening below your boat with Humminbird® Down Imaging®. These incredible images are created with high frequency sound waves emitted in ultra-thin slices. The sonar returns from these waves produce a “portrait.” As you patrol the water, you’ll watch fish, reefs, timber, brush, bridge pilings, rocks, and any other structure or cover pop with stunning detail.
      The detailed images of Down Imaging are created with high-frequency sound waves emitted in ultra-thin slices. The sonar returns from these waves produce a "snapshot" of what's below your boat.
      SwitchFire / Down Imaging. This view provides complete understanding of what exactly is going on below your boat. Quickly identify cover and structure with Down Imaging, while using SwitchFire® to locate and target fish. Together, they take the guesswork out of sonar fishfinding.

      Use the split screen feature to view you lake charts with the Down Imaging sonar simultaneously.
      Don't miss a thing with these three Humminbird technologies working together. Use SwitchFire and Down Imaging together for a stright down view, while Side Imaging reaches out to both sides.
      SwitchFire
      Building on Humminbird legacy of sonar innovation, exclusive Humminbird® SwitchFire™ puts anglers in complete command of how their sonar returns appear. With two unique display modes, you can adjust to your fishing conditions on the fly. Add or remove detail; account for water depth, temperature and turbulence; even experiment with lure presentations - all at the push of a button. SwitchFire adds a whole new dimension to 2D fish-finding. It’s one more reason Humminbird is simply, clearly, better.
      Humminbird Single Beam Sonar gives you a precision, 20º down-looking beam optimized for the best image of the bottom and structure.
      Two beams combine great detail and a wide coverage area. Use the narrow beam for high-accuracy returns of fish, structure, detail and the bottom profile. Opt for the wide beam when you want a larger search area.
      Full 90-degree coverage will give you a major advantage. 20-degree and 60-degree beams shoot below the boat, while two fan-shaped 35-degree beams look to the left and right—for precise fish placement below and to either side.
      Digital Signal Processing (DSP)
      Digital Signal Processing (DSP) is mathematical data manipulation technology. Sonar products produced by Humminbird® use transmitters and receivers that produce actual analog sound pulses and bounce them off objects, such as suspended fish and the bottom, and these analog signals must be converted to a digital format using an Analog-to-Digital converter in order to be understood by the sonar processor.
      That's when the real magic of DSP technology can be used. DSP utilizes advanced computer algorithms to manipulate the (now) digital data to filter, reduce noise, finely tune and enhance sensitivity of sonar data which equals a clearer screen, greater target separation, and more productive fish finding.
    • GPS
      Get unparalleled GPS technology out of the box. Many Humminbird fishfinders have the powerful Precision GPS/WAAS receiver built right in and provides fast position fixes accurate within 2.5 meters. For those models without it, there are several options:
      • Add the Humminbird Precision GPS/WAAS receiver for permanent GPS capability on your boat.
      • Use Humminbird’s adapter and the NMEA output on your own handheld GPS unit, or use Humminbird’s InterLink to allow two fishfinders to access one GPS receiver.
      Humminbird Precision GPS provides a more accurate position fix than the industry standard GPS.
