I don't have a temp prob on my boat and was looking at Fish Hawk TD to atleast have something. What do you guys think of these units and is there any alternative products out there.

Keith, Here is a thread about that same subject that is still fresh and active.

I think the probes are a useful tool. If there is other gear that you need I'd buy it first. Most of the time you can get the information you need by asking on the radio. I do have an older Fish Hawk that came with my boat. I don't know of any alternatives to the probes that would provide temp and speed at the ball.

I used the predecessor to this (can't recall the name right now) and it was a useful tool. Good to have as much info as possible.

Not looking for a prob to hook to the ball yet. I can't afford one but would like to know where the temperature breaks are atleast to start. Where I fish there generally are not that many guys out to ask.

I have one and love it. When fishing an area without good intel. I send it down before setting up, find the break, and target that.

Some guys use them to learn where there stuff is running. I haven't tried that yet.

We use the diver rods, and gps to manage our speed.

Keith, I have one also and I agree with Ken. I send it down when I first set up to find the thermocline. It is easy to use and has a 5 year warranty (though I don't think it includes loosing it overboard :) )
