re: Spider Rigging Electronics Advice

I use much older HB sounders (959/999) with DI and SI. I catch all the crappie I want spider rigging with them. If I were upgrading, I would go with the HB unit that would support the 360 imaging unit; the larger the screen the better. My transducer is mounted on the trolling motor.

Thank you Libertytiger
Over the past 12 hours, I've really studied the comparison of Livescope and HP360. Like you, I catch a bunch of white perch with old electronics. I'm leaning toward an entry level $700 unit as opposed to the $2000-$3000 aforementioned units.

This is sage advice. Spider rigging is my passion like yalls.
With everything you've said in the OP coupled with your reply to LibertyTiger's post, I think you're on the right track. To me spotlock, etc., will catch more fish spider rigging than having live view- especially on lakes that you already know and ledges and contours that you know should have fish.
The autopilot features are game gamechangers on pulling crankbaits for crappie in the summer too. (You ARE pulling cranks AREN'T you? If not, I highly recommend because it's incredibly effective and fun.)
The ease of the "plug and play" adaptability between humminbird and minn kota is another plus, and even though others are catching up, it's why I'm moving from lowrance over to HB (and also a warranty issue and poor customer service issues I've had with Lowrance).
