Ice Fishing Category:
Launching on Lowrance.com July 18 followed by our first showing at ICAST July 20, the new Explorer Ice Fishing Pack features Lowrance's top-selling Elite FS™ 9 fishfinder/chartplotter display with best-in-class ActiveTarget® Live Sonar, a redesigned premium ice fishing bag and shuttle frame, as well as a new transducer pole for the ActiveTarget Down/Forward and Scout modes. The pack also features a 24 Ah lithium battery with dual USB charging ports and built-in voltage meter.
Boating Accessories Category:
Launched earlier this year, Ghost 360 is available to users of the Ghost® Trolling Motor with Active Imaging™ 3-in-1 nosecone, which offers anglers a high-resolution 360-degree image around their boats. This new capability utilizes automatic steering rotation of the Ghost Trolling Motor, allowing anglers to pinpoint key structure and targets in a 360-degree view of the bottom, including standing structure and structure that is laying on the bottom. This new feature is available on all Ghost-compatible displays, including HDS® LIVE™, HDS Carbon and Elite FS. Lowrance® users who already have Elite FS, HDS LIVE or HDS Carbon, plus a Ghost Trolling Motor with a 3-in-1 nosecone, receive the Ghost 360 sonar feature - which would typically cost more than $1,000 in new-equipment - all at no additional charge.
Electronics Category:
Launched earlier this year, the NSX™ chartplotter/fishfinder is a new mid-range product in the Simrad® line of multifunction displays that redefines the touchscreen experience. It features powerful new marine-optimized C-MAP® DISCOVER™ X and REVEAL™ X charts, high-resolution views of fish and structure with Active Imaging™ featuring CHIRP, SideScan and DownScan Imaging™, plus 1kW transducer capability to reach greater depths and better resolution.
In addition to a new Android® Operating System, NSX features traditional integration capability with NMEA 2000®, Ethernet and Bluetooth® and seamless Simrad® app integration. With support and connectivity across a wide range of sonar, radar, autopilot and digital switching systems, more robust integration options, and support for a wide range of internal and third-party applications, the versatility and functionality of NSX make it the ideal solution for a wide variety of boaters, from novice to veterans and small center consoles to larger deep-sea fishing boats.
