Full Review
The Lowrance Hook Reveal 7 is the easiest fish finder to use right out of the box. The autotuning feature handles sonar settings for you, and FishReveal mode makes interpreting what is on screen straightforward even if you have never used sonar before. It also accepts preloaded maps, which the competing Garmin Striker series does not. For $350, it is the best choice for someone who wants to fish, not fiddle with settings.
