Hey guys, I have been using the Lowrance x125 for the past 3 years and it has done well for me, however, its starting to mess up. I want to get a new one and am looking at the x135. I like the price ($400) but I wonder if there is something better for me. I only fish for stripers and only on Lanier. I don't know if color matters that much(other than for show). Any thoughts?

get a gps/sonar combo color unit and put in a navionics chip. Look at the eagle line, they are just older models that lowrance has retired and retooled under the eagle name.

I've read good things about thr Lowrance LMS series. I recently upgraded to the 7-inch LCX series. A little pricey but it's 4000 watts with 640x480 resolution. I too only fish for stripers and only on Lanier.

If it nibbles I'll take it. Which ever "Make" you choose, the transition to a color display will be more beneficial than a "black and white" model...you'll see(literally).
