Default depth finder

First off I'm not sure whether its not worth the money for me right now to get one. I'm looking for a portable depth finder in the $100 range. The Eagle Cuda 128 portable looks pretty nice at $100. Also there is the Humminbird smartcast system which looks pretty nifty, but its got a poor resolution and I don't really care for a depth finder in ponds that I would be bank fishing from b/c most ponds around here are man-made and have a uniform construction. So the question is, whould I even bother with one, and if so which portable one should I get?

Sounds like you answered your own question, Hula. If you are fishing out of a boat I'd go with the Eagle, and from the bank I wouldn't mess with one.

Rebbasser pretty well summed it up. If you decide to get one you might want to consider upgrading and it only is a few more bucks to do so. The Eagle 128 is a good unit ( dont leave it unused in the sun,take it off when you store the boat). I would go ahead and upgrade to the Cuda 168 or the Hummingbird Piranha 5. Both units I have used and they are pretty good for the price. I beleive wally world sells em for 139. They have the added feature of surface temp which is a big plus and there resolution is pretty decent for the price. Both units can be had in a portable.
