Getting Your Money's Worth: The Eagle Cuda 300 Fishfinder

Do you know what a fish finder should tell you? Well, it should definitely give you the depth of the water and the terrain or ground beneath your boat. It should also tell you the temperature of the water. These three things can be instrumental in helping you catch the right type of fish. But most fish finders on the market now offer more than just these three fundamental aspects. The Eagle Cuda 300 Fishfinder is one such fish finder. It covers the basics and gives you a little bit extra to help you land that catch.

The one thing you should not expect with the Eagle Cuda 300 Fishfinder is a 300 foot radius and depth sonar of several hundred feet. It is not designed for this. While it does give you the basics plus some additional features, it does not compete with the more extravagant fish finders you can find on the market. But it is the price and the capabilities that seem to have fishermen flocking to this fish finder.

One of the "extras" you get with the Eagle Cuda 300 is the ability to see the depth of the fish. That is important because when casting out your line and using weights you want to hit the right depth for the particular fish you are after. The terrain the Eagle Cuda 300 shows is pretty detailed considering it is a lower end model.

No, you will not be able to see that brush pile at the bottom of the lake that you could potentially get snagged on but it does show you a generalized terrain. The Eagle Cuda 300 also comes with a very handy feature. It allows you to view the screen even in bright sunlight. Many LCD screens are hard to read when light is shining on them so this is something you should keep in mind.

If you are into competitive fishing or deep sea fishing, then the Eagle Cuda 300 Fishfinder is not going to suit your needs. It does cover the basics and does give a great readout of the fish and terrain but it does have its limits. Plus when you consider that you can find it online for around $100 you know it is not going to be in the big leagues.

But for the recreational fisher it is a great beginner's fish finder to own. It gives you all of the basics plus a little bit extra and you get to save a lot of money.
