Fishing Sonar
WESMAR fishing sonar solves the tough challenge of seeing fish close to the surface and close to the bottom.
WESMAR's HD860 solves the tough challenge of fish detection close to the surface, mid-water, and close to the bottom. The stabilized transducer allows you to stay on the fish and improve your catch even in rough seas.
On the HD860, the stabilization gyro is in the soundome, so when the transducer moves, the gyro senses that movement and corrections are made in the exact direction the transducer is pointing, keeping the sound beam on target. The WESMAR gyro runs 100% of the time. Other sonars have the gyro mounted on a bulkhead, making the stabilization less accurate.
Long cable runs are always subject to noise and decreased sonar performance. WESMAR's digital link between the sonar electronics (near the transducer) and the computer console in the wheelhouse operate noise-free for maximum sonar performance.
No sonar has better directivity than WESMAR engineered transducers. The entire transducer surface area points in the direction of the fish in a sharp narrow beam. Dispersed fish and hard-to-mark fish are detected clutter-free.
In rough seas, the HD860 in the down sounder mode will keep the sound beam where it should be: straight down. Fishing in ice? Raise the transducer inside the sea chest out of harms way, and the sonar keeps running. It can be locked down for a reliable stabilized picture with zoom.
Available with 6, 8, or 10 inch stabilized soundome

The SS590 is six inch, 160 kHz searchlight sonar for commercial fishing. It is especially valuable for purse seining, but also highly effective for all sonar applications, including sport fishing. Fishermen like the quick, hands-on control panel that keeps them on the fish. No sonar transducer offers better direction control. One hundred percent of its surface area focuses a sharp narrow beam, making dispersed fish and hard-to-mark fish detection clutter-free.
Powerful detection capability and digital communications without cable loss or electrical interference enhances performance of this economically-priced sonar. Bright, sharp target colors for detecting dispersed fish is a big plus.
