As with almost any electronic gadget you have many options when you go to select one. Looking for a fishfinder is no exception. Two of the most notable companies that produce fish finders are Garmin and Humminbird. Ever since the 1970s with the inception of the Humminbird company their units have been popular among anglers.

For the recreational angler the Humminbird fishfinder 535 is an easy-to-use device. The 535 offers a large screen that gives a sharp clear image that will help you find the fish. While the device is easy to use it still has lots of functionality and several advanced features.

If you're looking to make the catch without breaking your budget then the Humminbird 535 is just what you are looking for. You might say it's a budget catch that won't break your budget. Even though it's a low-cost device it has some really powerful features like a sonar beam optimized for coverage that gives you precise details of the bottom at up to 800 feet. Of course that is the manufacturers specification and several real-world users have reported less success than 800 feet.

Because the 535 is small it's not going to take up a lot of room on your boat or in your fishing gear. Even in a small package you'll find a device that offers real-time sonar that enables you to capture the action happening below you at up to 40 times per second. In addition it has a sonar echo enhancement which helps bring even the small items into focus on your screen.

The display screen is a high-resolution 5 inch LCD screen that provides 16 levels of grayscale. The display configuration can be set up to display what is called a white line or high contrast and bottom Black or structure ID bottom presentations. So you will have several options for how you want to display the view of what is under the water.

The Humminbird 535 is capable of an accurate display even up to speeds of 70 mph. The device even includes water temperature readings to help you find the hot and cold spots.

To help you navigate the 535 it includes an x-press menu system. It is designed to help you access all the features with fewer clicks. The device comes with several different zoom levels from 2x through 8x. It also has a nice feature of being able to record your elapsed time, distance, and average speed if you purchase the optional speed sensor. It also offers a backlit LCD so if you like to go night fishing you will still be able to see the screen.

Again the Humminbird 535 is a small compact device which makes it easy to take with you just about anywhere. In addition it has a very simple and easy mounting system which makes it easy to take the device from one boat to another.

This fishfinder is built tough is waterproof and even floats. No need to stress about accidentally dropping it in the water, just fish it out, put it on the mount and go get some fish.
