Thanks for your replies in advance

The original Hook had the 83/200 transducer, but sine the introduction to the Hook2 series it has not and runs a hybrid HighCHirp for Sonar, which isnt good for deep water. The new Hook reveal has the same issue, except now they offer the "deep water" version which is just a 50/200 transducer, but its priced at $800, HUH!?!?! ok Lowrance...lol

I just made this mistake and returned the hook for the Ti2 7" with US/CAN maps for $728 shipped to door ($50 rebate so $678 to be exact). The Ti and HDS both have "reveal" and way better processors then the hook line.

Spend the extra buck unless you dont fish deep waters, then the hook reveal is great, plus Lowrance has $100 rebate.
