Lowrance launches Elite DSI

LOWRANCE'S new Elite DownScan Imaging (DSI) sonar series is now available in Australia.

Comprising two models – the Elite-5x DSI fishfinder and the Elite-5 DSI fishfinder/chartplotter – the Elite DSI series combines Lowrance's revolutionary DownScan Imaging technology with brilliant displays, smart automatic fishfinder modes and simple, intuitive operation into a surprisingly cost-effective solution.

DSI-equipped anglers can experience a new standard in fishfinding with remarkable below-the-boat views of bottom structure such as rocks, vegetation and drop-offs, as well as thermoclines, baitfish and target fish.

The Elite DSI series is designed to provide incredible underwater definition in shallow and deep, freshwater or saltwater – including impressive bottom readings at higher boat speeds. Capable of displaying isolated targets and hard-to-find secondary structure, DSI not only allows users to see vegetation and bottom structure more clearly, but helps anglers recognise variations in weed growth and bottom hardness.

The Elite-5x DSI and Elite-5 DSI feature a new rugged, low-profile, dual-frequency Skimmer transom-mount transducer with built-in temperature sensor that operates at 455kHz for wider and deeper coverage, or at 800kHz for more concentrated scans in shallower conditions with greater target separation.

Elite-5 DSI fishfinder/chartplotter models also feature a built-in high-sensitivity 16-channel GPS+WAAS precision antenna for out-of-the-box, plug-and-play navigation, along with an external antenna option.

RRP starts from AU$899 for the Elite-5x DSI and rounds out at AU$1199 for the Elite-5 DSI combo unit (which includes a Navionics chart).
