As part of the 700 series, the humminbird 798c the 5 inch humminbird 798c unit(visit the store and read customer reviews here) comes standard equipped with a 5” color display and a High Definition 640×640 display for clear, detailed display – supported by a back LED and bonded glas screen for clear sight even in bright sunlight.

5″ enough to Identify the Fish?

The screen size of 5” in not particularly whopping; however, most concerns with the screen size only arise when it comes to the need to actually identifying fish. For most other uses, the display reaches good contrast and incredible color-depth. If identifying fish is a must-have for you – be it through down-imaging or side-imaging, then the larger size screens of either the 800 series, or the 900 series would be recommended. Side imaging / Down Imaging is achieved by the 455 kHz / (2) 86° @ -10db sonar.

The humminbird 798c has a 1,500 ft depth capability; DualBeam PLUS 150 ft. depth with Side-Imaging. Mounting of the 798 humminbird is a charm, as it comes prepared to be mounted in-dash or can be equipped with the Tilt – Swivel Quick Disconnect Mounting System for easy in – and out connectivity.

The 798 humminbird is fairly easy to adjust for e.g. its sensitivity so it allows for seeing rocks, weed beds, stumps, and of course fish.
