When it comes to chasing the elusive King George whiting quality sounder equipment is well and truly worth it’s weight in gold. The ability to confidently locate likely whiting bottom or interpret on-screen sonar returns can really make the difference between a successful day on the water and one to forget.
Thanks to highly detailed sonar imagery and target separation the Lowrance HDS Live certainly ticks all the boxes as far as this fickle species is concerned and for me it’s hard to imagine life without it when chasing a few inshore “KGs”. Now normally for a story of this nature I’d delve straight into the nitty gritty of sonar frequencies and settings however it is the often overlooked colour palette that I feel is equally if not more important and something to highlight straight up.
As with many of Lowrance’s higher end colour units we are provided with the ability to change colour palettes as desired, allowing anglers to hone in on a specific patterning in order to help unravel sonar readings or apply a certain palette to a specific scenario. Now depending on your situation and requirements you may very well find your own palette preference
