personally I have Never bought anything under 5", but for most kayak users some of the 4" models are perfect for kayak fishing. light weight, low power consumption, and for shallow water have more than enough water penetration power. and I forgot to mention that they are well within reach of the average weekend warriors budget.

I have the Garmin SV 7, works great if I can figure out what I am seeing. I had some issues in the beginning with a cable that wasn't plugging in correctly but as soon as I notified Garmin they sent me a knew one, no charge.

i would say the Dragonfly 5 pro is good for LJ
but with old eyes and a split screen
bigger is better

auto mode is still borked

sometimes i wish my screen was bigger vertical, rather the wider
for non split screen mode

Dragonfly 4 is allright , if you have good eyes...

I have migrated from Lowrance HDS 5 ->Lowrance Hook 5 (twice, exchanged) -> Lowrance Elite 5 Ti -> Raymarine Dragonfly 7.

I wish I can stick with Lowrance , they are fantastic machine but troublesome to me ( maybe others have better luck with it).

Raymarine is not perfect , compared to Lowrance, it lacks a lot of features.
But it is reliable to me. it does not give problems on the water .

Yes, there is no PERFECT Fishfinder....
