What Alvin said! Excellent units.

Thanks for the help got it narrowed down to two 

I purchased a new Lorance Hook Reveal 9 with triple shot and it works great so far.

I just have Lowrance HDS and once dialed in they work great.  Bro is right the side scan / down scan features aren’t necessary for Salmon.  But for Perch those can be helpful.  Heck if you are a multi species guy the side scan can find Bluegill beds on the inland lakes and make the search pretty easy.   I remember when the HDS units came out they were state of the art.  Now they are dinosaurs!  Lol
