Lowrance Hook-5 vs Raymarine Dragonfly 5PRO - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

My preference is the Lowrance for features, but my Hook 5 is glitchy and keeps freezing on the water. The enter button keeps sticking which causes the thing to freeze. I am going to give it one more outing then, I am taking back to WestMarine for a store credit. I may upgrade to a better Lowrance or finally try the Humminbird brand.

The Dragonfly 5 Pro reads the terrain like a champ. No issues with the setup. Stock settings work great.
However the track back feature in Lowrance allows me to find the spots easily and drop in exactly where i saw the structure I want to hit.
