Good to know

  • Pick the shaft length to suit your bow height; the listing offers 48, 54, 60 and 72 in.
  • If you fish salt water, look at the saltwater Recon instead, since this version is built for fresh water.

KayakDIY take: If you already run Lowrance sonar, the built-in nosecone is the big draw here, though this is boat gear rather than kayak gear. For kayak-sized electronics, see my kayak fish finder guide.
