Let’s head out on the water for a first look at Humminbird’s NEW Mega Live 2 Forward Facing Sonar transducer! We’ve just installed this unit and are checking it out before we even finish dialing it in! Our first priority is to see its bait tracking abilities, how it does with target separation, and to get a look at all the new color palettes we’ve been hearing about! Take a look and let us know what you think in the comments!

Our first impression is, it’s a HUGE improvement over the original Mega Live! This new Mega Live 2 is superior in every way, with incredible clarity and drastically improved bait tracking! It’s hard to choose a favorite color palette but if we had to choose two to get started, it would be Alabama Amber and Doppler. Also, pay close attention to Tim’s sonar settings if you’re looking for a starting place as you dial in your new Live 2.

We’ll let you make your own judgement based on the footage, but from what we can see, Humminbird has a WINNER with this new Live 2! Whether you use FFS technology to locate structures and speed up your search for fish, or you’re isolating single fish and targeting them with a Strolling bait, this new transducer has the ability to help you fish more effectively.

Below you’ll find links to all the gear Tim used in today’s video. From the Live 2 Transducer, to the Target Lock, to the electronics he uses to get these images. We’ve also included some great budget friendly units as well. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
