Field notes

The simulator exposes frequency-and-cone combinations from 50 kHz at 45° through 800 kHz (DV) at 8°, alongside gain and noise-reduction controls. A “Shallow weedy lake” preset is labeled 6 m, drift, and 50% fish. The page also recommends a Humminbird Helix 5 at $350–$450 and links to Amazon, with an affiliate disclosure; this is a displayed recommendation, not evidence of independent product testing.
