Easily one of the most diverse fishing product award categories, the best fishing graphs, trolling motors, and more category encompasses all kinds of boating accessories, including shallow water anchoring systems, life vests, boat seats, trolling motors, graphs, and much more. This year the Humminbird Mega Live Imaging emerged as the clear favorite in the category, dominating the voting for both the TW Staff Picks and Viewer’s Choice Awards, and eclipsing other notable entries from Lowrance, Motorguide, and Aqua-Vu. Scroll down to see how the winner and top finishers performed, and learn more about the cutting-edge electronics professional anglers are using to get an edge over the competition!
Revolutionizing the fishing industry, the Humminbird Mega Live Imaging gives anglers the ability to watch fish and structure in real-time. Providing up to 150-feet of range with three different viewing options, Mega Live Imaging offers wider more fishable sonar coverage that makes it easier for an angler to keep the fish and their lure in view. Powered by the unmatched detail and clarity of MEGA Imaging+, the Humminbird Mega Live Imaging sets the bar higher by eliminating the need for a sonar black box with its ability to connect via ethernet to compatible Humminbird models.
"The new Mega Live Imaging Transducer gives you all kinds of capabilities, but most importantly it shows you everything around you in real time. There is no delay, it is a real time sonar. You have down feed which shows you what is directly under your trolling motor. You have a forward-facing mode which shows you everything that is out in front of you. I can pan my Ultrex around and make an accurate precise cast up to 100ft away and watch fish and watch my bait. This is changing the entire game." - Bryan Thrift, MLF Bass Pro Tour angler
