I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

I recently purchased the Lowrance HOOK2 Fish Finder and it has been a game-changer for my fishing adventures. This fish finder comes in five different screen sizes: 4', 5', 7', 9', and 12'. The high-resolution SolarMAX display ensures that I can easily see what's beneath the surface of the water.
One of the best features of this fish finder is its autotuning sonar. It automatically adjusts to provide the best sonar performance, making it a breeze to find fish. In fact, the HOOK2 Fish Finder offers double the CHIRP sonar coverage compared to most other fish finders on the market.
I was particularly impressed by the downscan capability of this unit. The wider sonar cone provides more than twice the sonar coverage of traditional fish finders, making it easier to spot fish and track lures as they move through the water. Additionally, the HOOK2 series offers options for 2-in-1 and 3-in-1 sonar, providing an accurate depiction of the underwater environment on the widescreen display.
When it comes to mapping, the HOOK2 Fish Finder comes with a built-in enhanced base map from C-MAP. However, if you're looking for upgraded mapping options, both C-MAP and Navionics are available.
As an avid kayaker, I was pleased to find that this fish finder is compatible with kayaks. Its compact size is perfect for mounting on a kayak without adding unnecessary weight or taking up too much space.
Lastly, if you're wondering if this fish finder will work with your Hook 3 cable, you should know that the pins are different. It's important to take note of this before attempting to connect the two devices.
