Using the
revolutionary Lowrance HDS (High-Definition System) to maximum advantage,
Lowrance Pro Team members filled three of the top 10 places in the 2009 ABT
Barra Tour, which concluded late last year.
Cy Taylor cemented
his position as Australia's No. 1 ranked barra angler by taking out the
Individual Angler of the Year (AOY) title for the third consecutive year,
followed closely by fellow Lowrance Pro Teamer Jason Wilhelm. Cy and Jason also
won Northern Barra AOY and Southern Barra AOY respectively. Making it a family
affair, Cy and his brother Kerrin also took out Team AOY!
All three anglers
agreed the advanced technology of Lowrance HDS gave them the winning edge in
the tour.
Featuring built-in
award-winning Broadband Sounder™ technology, HDS delivers peerless echo clarity
and the highest underwater definition ever achieved by Lowrance. The system's
greater sensitivity, minimal clutter and amazing separation of fish from cover
helps anglers find more fish – in both freshwater and saltwater, from shallow
water through to extreme sea depths.
The Lowrance HDS
series of multi-function displays also combines innovative chartplotting,
intuitive operation, and accommodates Ethernet radar and NMEA2000 networking
for fuel, engine and boat-operations management solutions.
Available in fully
sunlight-viewable HDS5 (12.7cm), HDS7 (16.3cm), HDS8 (21.3cm) and HDS10
(26.4cm) screen sizes, in several configurations, the Lowrance HDS series is
the ideal solution for boaters who require an easily networked or standalone
electronics package.
Runner-up AOY
Jason Wilhelm also used the groundbreaking Lowrance StructureScan™ during the
tour. Networked with a Lowrance HDS unit, the LSS-1 sonar-imaging module is the
world's first to offer anglers a new dimension in underwater picture-like
displays – side-to-side plus straight down, full panoramic viewing.
StructureScan
features a combination of SideScan and exclusive new DownScan Imaging
technology. SideScan provides full-screen left and right side-viewing with
extra-crisp detail of up to 146m (480ft) of underwater coverage that displays
structure and fish targets, as well as their imaging-scan shadows. The new
DownScan Imaging feature allows anglers, for the first time, to see submerged
detail directly beneath their boats, providing a complete underwater picture in
a screen format that is easy to interpret.
The on-screen
display versatility of Lowrance HDS allows anglers to merge side and down sonar
scans in split-screen to view wide-area surveys and highly-defined detail. As a
unique tool, anglers can also compare DownScan Imaging with 2D sonar images in
split-screen display to better distinguish fish from structure – removing all
of the guesswork common to other fish-finding technology.
