Operating off a tiny transducer that you can attach to your line, castable units are fast becoming some of the most popular portable fish finders on the market. This model from Deeper Start looks like a good deal with the lowest Amazon price we’ve seen in years – a good 30% cheaper than Walmart.
Humminbird Helix 7

Named by our reviewer Steve Walburn as the best value fish finder on the market right now, the Humminbird Helix 7 is a fine option. The unit’s dual-spectrum CHIRP sonar allows anglers to search a wide or narrow cone, depending on the target, down to 1,200 feet. What’s more, the Helix 7 is a GPS fish finder that comes loaded with base maps covering more than 10,000 US lakes and coastal waters. Another Bass Pro Shops deal, the Humminbird Helix 7 is available with a $200 (25%) discount this Black Friday.
Simrad Cruise 9
Was £740.53/$728.38, now £541.99/$592.49 at Tradeinn.com
Simrad describes its Cruise as “intuitive” and “easy-to-use”, something that certainly can’t be said of some of its competitors with their labyrinthine operating systems. This particular model comes with everything you need for simple and straightforward GPS navigation, including a sunlight viewable display with US coastal charts, mounting bracket and a sonar transducer.
Lowrance HDS LIVE 9

Garmin Striker 4
Was $139.99, now $111.09 at Amazon
At the other end of the price spectrum, the Garmin Striker 4 is one of the most popular portable fish finders on the market. Easy to use and easy to install, this model is available in 3.5, 5 and 7 inch display sizes, and also boasts IPX7 rating for waterproofing, so there’s no need to panic if it takes a soaking. Amazon’s $28 saving outstrips all others right now, and although it’s not quite the lowest price we’ve ever seen for this product, it’s still a decent Black Friday fish finder deal.
Lowrance Hook Reveal 7
Was $749.99, now $599.99 at West Marine
Relaunched by Lowrance in late 2019, the Hook Reveal range combines the benefits of Lowrance CHIRP sonar and DownScan Imaging on one screen.
