Jrc jls 500 sounder v furuno
Submitted by roddo on Tue, 2014-03-04 21:01
Hi all
i have recently bought a new boat and it has a jrc jls-500 combo unit, I'm use to using a furuno620 and not sure if I like the jrc as a sounder but this could be that I'm still learning how to read it. Contemplating on getting a 587 as a sounder but want your opinion about the jrc before I splash out and get the furuno. Normally fish 30-80m but am looking at doing some deep drop stuff but not all that often.
Anyone want to show me how to use the jrc properly happy to take you out for a fish all expenses paid. It's a 7.5m jackman ally with twin 225 yamahas.
Cheers
Rod

The JRC FF50
was a great sounder in there day and still are for fishing under 100m. With a big boat you have I would go the 587 and 2 x 1kw through hull transducers if you are planning on doing the deepdrop in the future. It has a better chrisper screen.

Hi wanglerhow would the 587
Hi wangler
how would the 587 read in shallower stuff with the 2x1kw transducers. Didn't realise you could run 2 also what would be the benefit of 2 over 1 and are the thru hulls ok to run in an ally boat sorry about all the questions.
