Depth Raider

[Hawkeye50]

Anyone using this unit? Any info would be helpful.Does it compare to the sub troll? I am considering purchasing one.

I had one on my old boat, when it's dialed in worked great, cable can be a pain but after I got it figured out Non-issue.

 

Purchased a new to me boat that had a fish hawk definitely easy and no cable, would I drop 1300 for it when I had the depth raider.   No way they both do the same.

 

 

If on a budget it works fine.

 

No experience with the sub.

Sub and DR work the same only the gauges are different. Sub is analog and the DR is digital.

Have used a Depth Raider for 10 plus years.  Updating some electronics now and updating to DR DRX10.  Have to deal with coated cable and connections a downside.  Cable reacts faster than Fish Hawk IMO.  I’m still using my original probe so they do hold up.  Fish Hawks more popular.  Either unit should give good service- do you want another transducer/FH or do you want coated cable/DR.

I have used the DR for 5 years with no problems. I fish with a friend that runs both and the DR is the one that you trust.

The DR refresh rate is much faster. I have my unit working down to 175 feet.

Still using the original D/R that came out over a decade ago, same probe, same coated cable.
