SIMRAD BSM-2 Broadband Sounder Module

Ok, so we have plenty of reviews for rods, reels, lines and lures, but how about finding the fish before you use all that?

SIMRAD have just released a new broadband sounder module that goes further than ever before, the BSM-2 We’re used to the transition to DSP-based products that happened over the last 5 years, the more recent move to broadband sounders, and now Navico, with SIMRAD, have gone one step further: CHIRP.

What is CHIRP? CHIRP is described as both Frequency Sweeping Pulse Compression” and Compression Modulation, but what you get for it, is dual independant transducers and transcievers.

But its results that we’re buying, so what does it do? The two pulses help separate targets. On one sounder, you may get some mid-water blobs, but the SIMRAD BSM-2 can resolve it into individual fish. Great to know you’re dropping on a school of good-sized fish, not a big baitball!

Try this shot!

Or competitor Tritech‘s unit. First the chain links;
