Humminbird HELIX 5 G2 Series Fish Finders

There’s no such thing as 'too early' or 'too far.' High expectations go with the territory. The HELIX 5 Series answers the call with an uncompromising widescreen color display. Available on select models, Humminbird CHIRP Digital Sonar and Imaging Sonar reveal the lake bottom, while GPS mapping, AutoChart Live and Humminbird Basemap show you the way.

Feature for feature, it has what it takes to win the day. Do you? No doubt.

Includes transducer and mounting hardware, power cable and gimbal mounting bracket.

2D Sonar

If your goal is to locate and see fish more clearly, start here. Humminbird’s 2D sonar offerings are far from two-dimensional. Whether you’re fishing freshwater lakes, coastal waters or the ice, you’ll find the right solution for your environment and prey.

SwitchFire

SwitchFire lets you control the way your returns appear. With two display modes—Max Mode and Clear Mode—you can choose how much detail, including fish, structure and thermoclines, you want to see or un-see.

Dual Beam

With a wide beam for more search area or a narrow beam for more precision, DualBeam shows you fish and the bottom. DualBeam Plus lets you combine the two beams for even more detail.

Digital CHIRP

CHIRP stands for 'Compressed High Intensity Radar Pulse.' That’s a fancy way of saying it can show you fish that other forms of 2D sonar can’t. How’s that? CHIRP scans the water for fish similar to the way the seek function on your truck’s radio scans the airwaves for FM stations. By covering a wide range of frequencies, CHIRP produces more accurate, more detailed returns of fish, structure and the bottom.

Imaging - It's all in the details

Amazing Humminbird Imaging sonar shoots high-frequency beams below the surface to reveal structure, cover and contours with crystal clarity.

Side Imaging - Nowhere to Hide

Gain an unprecedented, side-to-side perspective on the world below the surface with Side Imaging. In an instant, the ultra-thin beam scans the area to the left and right of your boat location. The return image for each slice is then added to the images taken immediately before and after to build an incredible view of the lake bottom. (image displays MEGA Side Imaging)

Down Imaging - Look Out Below

Get a fish-eye’s view of what’s happening below your boat with Down Imaging. These incredible images are created with high-frequency sound waves emitted in ultra-thin slices. The sonar returns from these waves produce a 'portrait.' As you patrol the water, you’ll watch timber, brush, bridge pilings, rocks and any other structure pop with stunning detail. (image displays MEGA Down Imaging)

Built-In Basemap - Ready to fish, right out of the box

We’ve enhanced our standard Basemap to deliver more detail and a superior angling experience. The Humminbird Basemap is built into all SOLIX Series and GPS-equipped HELIX Series G2/G2N models. Based on freshwater data from LakeMaster and NOAA, the most-trusted saltwater source, these accurate maps provide you with a clear view of underwater terrain. Identify buoys, daymarkers, hazards, marinas and countless other navigation aids and points of interest with our comprehensive icon system. You’ll also see contours, depth markings and, for coastal areas, spot soundings. On the water, confidence is key. And the Humminbird Basemap delivers.

Autochart Live - Create your map-sterpiece (On select models)

Build richly detailed maps of your favorite fishing spots in real time with Humminbird AutoChart Live, available on the SOLIX Series and all GPS-equipped HELIX Series models. Map the water as you drive the boat, with eight hours of built-in recording time. Once your map is live, view it with vegetation, bottom hardness and depth contours to locate the best fish-holding areas. Also, use it with i-Pilot Link Follow and other patented Humminbird LakeMaster features. The future of digital charting has arrived. Better get on board.

Navigation - Built-In GPS

Get unparalleled GPS technology out of the box. Many Humminbird fishfinders have our powerful Precision GPS/WAAS receiver built right in and provides fast position fixes accurate within 2.5 meters. For those models without it, there are several options: Add the Humminbird Precision GPS/WAAS receiver for permanent GPS capability on your boat. Use Humminbird’s adapter and the NMEA output on your own handheld GPS unit, or use Humminbird’s InterLink to allow two fishfinders to access one GPS receiver.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this Garmin fish finder comes installed with maps (Marine maps
Answer:	There is no way to put any maps on this unit but it does have storage to make your own maps. It has a mapping feature so you can map the depths of your favorite lake. The specs says it will hold 1 million acres of lake maps. Granted, you have to be on a boat and troll to do the mapping but it does work and it works rather well.
Question:	For in hull transducer mounts for a fiberglass boat, Garmin suggested putting the transducer in a container full of antifreeze. Any other methods
Answer:	I can’t speak to fiberglass as I use mine on kayak. However I do use my transducer shooting thru hull attached with duct seal that forms a reservoir around transducer and then I add water. That works perfectly! Duct seal is $3 at Lowe’s or Home Depot.
Question:	What's the difference between this and the "garmin striker 4 with transducer, 3.5" gps fishfinder with chirp traditional transducer
Answer:	This one has a feature where you can contour maps the bottom of any lake or river you're in.
Question:	how many holes do i need to drill to install the transducer
Answer:	Don't drill holes in your boat. Find an old 3/8-1/2" plastic cutting board and cut a 4x4 piece out of it and using 3m sticky tape mount it to the transom and use short screws to mount the transducer to the piece of cutting board. Did that back in 1979 and has never come loose.
Question:	Whats the maximun depth that it can read
Answer:	It’s in the description I believe. Otherwise YouTube has this information
Question:	Will this work in shallow waters? What is the minimum depth it will read accurately? Read a review where it was said to lose use under 10 feet
Answer:	I know from experience it can read depths as shallow as 1 foot but I don’t know the exact limitations or specs. The problem that renders this and any fish finder useless in shallow water is the amount of vegetation and its direct proximity. In shallow water with dense vegetation reaching the surface you’re most likely only going to see screen noise displayed which may effect the abilities to properly gauge water depths. If there is no vegetation and the ground is of solid structure then this will work fine in water 10’ or less.
Question:	Can the transducer be mounted on the trolling motor
Answer:	Yes it’s come with all the hardware needed to install you might have to change some things depending on your trolling motor
Question:	Will I be able to see the screen with polarized sunglasses
Answer:	Yes you can because I am using as well the polarized glasses with a light yellow tint

User questions & answers

Question:	From the description, the unit comes with Navionics+. Is this true
Answer:	Navionics Gold Compatible from what the Hummingbird site says, meaning you can put the Navionics cards in this unit for the extra chart info and capabilities but in typical Navionics form, they rake you over the coals for it. The Uni-map base maps are quite good from what I have seen from playing around with it in the west central Florida area. Your area may vary because of the amount of info that has been collected on it. One thing to point out is the Base maps here are better than most base maps other companies offer and there is no need to buy the uber expensive map cards from Navionics for your average weekend fisherman or pleasure boater. The Navionics stuff is very specialized....My experience level: 5 years as a Marine Electronics installer and Business owner for 10 years, Raymarine, Garmin, NEMA KVH Certs and 3 FCC Electronics operation and repair licenses.
Question:	does this unit display speed
Answer:	Yes, it does via the GPS.
Question:	Does this model have sidescan as well as downscan imaging
Answer:	No look for the CHIRP SI GPS G2 model
Question:	Does the unit come with transducer
Answer:	It comes with the transducer and flip up mount and the control head mount that rotates up and down. Hope this helps.

• Sensitivity Adjustment : There are 5 levels of sensitivity built in the depth fish finder so that you can choose the suitable sensitivity according to the fishing environment. No matter it is freshwater, saltwater or even turbid water. It is a helpful design for fishing beginners. The portable fish finder can also remember your last setting when you turn it on.
• Water Depth & Fish Location Display: The portable fish finder detects and displays water depth and approximate fish location. Meanwhile, you can also get to know the bottom contour underwater by the icons of weeds, sands and rocks on the display of the depth fish finder. The backlight of the depth fish finder enables the display visible both in the dark and sunlight.
• Distinguish Fish Size : The depth fish finder cannot only alert when fish or fish schools appear, but it also helps you distinguish small fish and large fish. The sonar transducer is working stable and reliable both in freshwater and saltwater. It detects in a 45° beam angle area with 200Khz sonar frequency which supports maximum 328ft/100m water depth detection.
• Water Temperature & Air Pressure Display :The portable fish finder can display water temperature to help you judge the fishing environment. Air pressure display is also available. The depth fish finder helps you better judge the fishing environment by those detection data. The measurement unit of depth and temperature can be freely switched either in FT/M or ℉/℃.
• Fishing Applications : LUCKYLAKER portable fish finder is an ideal fishing tackle for boat fishing, kayak fishing, ice fishing and bank fishing. The sonar transducer can be attached to the hull of the boat with adapter and bracket which are included in the package box. The ice fish finder can be working for 5~6 hours continuously with 4xAAA batteries. Once the battery save mode is turned on, it could be working even longer.

LUCKYLAKER Portable Fish Finder

LUCKY depth fish finder is a portable and affordable fish finder for all levels of anglers. This portable fish finder can display real time and useful fishing data accurately. It detects and displays water depth, approximate fish location, weeds and rocks on seabed. For learning the water depth without topographical maps and finding where the fish are in lakes, this is the best value for the money.

Main Functions

• Water Depth and Fish Location Display
• Bottom Contour Display
• Fish and Fish Schools Alarm
• Small Fish and Big Fish Display
• Water Temperature Display
• Sensitivity Adjustment
• Barometer Display
• Save Battery Mode
• Back Light Option

Finding Fish and Fish Schools is Much Easier Than Before

• It is very important to know the water depth around your boat or kayak when you are fishing in the lake. The sonar transducer reflects the data of detection on the display, so that you could easily read it on your fish finder.
• The depth fish finder will alerts immediately once the fish or fish schools passing by, because all the data is real time display.
• This portable fish finder also displays the water temperature and barometer which is unavailable in other fish finders. Learning the water temperature and barometer will help you to understanding the fish status at that moment that will help you judge if it is a good time to fish, because those two factors determines how active the fish is.

Specification

• 2inch TN/ANTI-UV LCD Display.
• LED Back lighting.
• Measurement Unit: FT/M and ℉/℃
• 1.81inch diameter sonar transducer.
• Detect Depth Range: 3ft~328.08ft (0.6m~100m) under sensor.
• Sensor coverage range: 45 degrees beam angle in 200Khz.
• Sensor Operating Temperature: 14°F to 122°F(-10°C-50°C) .
• Cable Length: 25ft (7.62m)
• Powered by: 4 x AAA batteries (not included)

Ice Fishing

1. Please clear away snow to expose the ice surface. It is the preparation to cut a hole.
2. Put the sonar transducer directly on the ice, and the ice must be free of air bubbles.
3. Usually you could read data on the display. If you are satisfied with this position, I suggest you to drill a hole and put the sonar transducer in the water to get more accurate detection.

Night Fishing

1. Black back light design enables you to read clearly in the dark and sunlight.
2. Once switch off the battery save mode, the depth fish finder could working continuously even longer than 6 hours.

Kayak/ Boat Fishing

There are 3 different ways to use the portable fish finder from a kayak or a boat.

1. Toss the sonar transducer and float into the water.
2. Attach the sonar transducer to the hull of the boat or kayak.
3. Attach the sonar transducer to a handle or a transducer mounting Arm, and put the transducer into the water.

Dock/Bank Fishing

1. Cast the sonar transducer and the float into water.

Humminbird HELIX 5 G2 Series Fish Finders

There’s no such thing as 'too early' or 'too far.' High expectations go with the territory. The HELIX 5 Series answers the call with an uncompromising widescreen color display. Available on select models, Humminbird CHIRP Digital Sonar and Imaging Sonar reveal the lake bottom, while GPS mapping, AutoChart Live and Humminbird Basemap show you the way.

Feature for feature, it has what it takes to win the day. Do you? No doubt.

Includes transducer and mounting hardware, power cable and gimbal mounting bracket.

2D Sonar

If your goal is to locate and see fish more clearly, start here. Humminbird’s 2D sonar offerings are far from two-dimensional. Whether you’re fishing freshwater lakes, coastal waters or the ice, you’ll find the right solution for your environment and prey.

SwitchFire

SwitchFire lets you control the way your returns appear. With two display modes—Max Mode and Clear Mode—you can choose how much detail, including fish, structure and thermoclines, you want to see or un-see.

Dual Beam

With a wide beam for more search area or a narrow beam for more precision, DualBeam shows you fish and the bottom. DualBeam Plus lets you combine the two beams for even more detail.

Digital CHIRP

CHIRP stands for 'Compressed High Intensity Radar Pulse.' That’s a fancy way of saying it can show you fish that other forms of 2D sonar can’t. How’s that? CHIRP scans the water for fish similar to the way the seek function on your truck’s radio scans the airwaves for FM stations. By covering a wide range of frequencies, CHIRP produces more accurate, more detailed returns of fish, structure and the bottom.

Imaging - It's all in the details

Amazing Humminbird Imaging sonar shoots high-frequency beams below the surface to reveal structure, cover and contours with crystal clarity.

Side Imaging - Nowhere to Hide

Gain an unprecedented, side-to-side perspective on the world below the surface with Side Imaging. In an instant, the ultra-thin beam scans the area to the left and right of your boat location. The return image for each slice is then added to the images taken immediately before and after to build an incredible view of the lake bottom. (image displays MEGA Side Imaging)

Down Imaging - Look Out Below

Get a fish-eye’s view of what’s happening below your boat with Down Imaging. These incredible images are created with high-frequency sound waves emitted in ultra-thin slices. The sonar returns from these waves produce a 'portrait.' As you patrol the water, you’ll watch timber, brush, bridge pilings, rocks and any other structure pop with stunning detail. (image displays MEGA Down Imaging)

Built-In Basemap - Ready to fish, right out of the box

We’ve enhanced our standard Basemap to deliver more detail and a superior angling experience. The Humminbird Basemap is built into all SOLIX Series and GPS-equipped HELIX Series G2/G2N models. Based on freshwater data from LakeMaster and NOAA, the most-trusted saltwater source, these accurate maps provide you with a clear view of underwater terrain. Identify buoys, daymarkers, hazards, marinas and countless other navigation aids and points of interest with our comprehensive icon system. You’ll also see contours, depth markings and, for coastal areas, spot soundings. On the water, confidence is key. And the Humminbird Basemap delivers.

Autochart Live - Create your map-sterpiece (On select models)

Build richly detailed maps of your favorite fishing spots in real time with Humminbird AutoChart Live, available on the SOLIX Series and all GPS-equipped HELIX Series models. Map the water as you drive the boat, with eight hours of built-in recording time. Once your map is live, view it with vegetation, bottom hardness and depth contours to locate the best fish-holding areas. Also, use it with i-Pilot Link Follow and other patented Humminbird LakeMaster features. The future of digital charting has arrived. Better get on board.

Navigation - Built-In GPS

Get unparalleled GPS technology out of the box. Many Humminbird fishfinders have our powerful Precision GPS/WAAS receiver built right in and provides fast position fixes accurate within 2.5 meters. For those models without it, there are several options: Add the Humminbird Precision GPS/WAAS receiver for permanent GPS capability on your boat. Use Humminbird’s adapter and the NMEA output on your own handheld GPS unit, or use Humminbird’s InterLink to allow two fishfinders to access one GPS receiver.
