Lowrance, a world-leader in fishing electronics since 1957, announced today the most powerful Elite series fishfinder/chartplotter available – the new, Elite FS.
The latest introduction in Lowrance’s line-up of mid-range fishfinder/chartplotter displays, the Elite Fishing System (FS) combines a full line-up of fishfinding tools with a display that is easy to use and easy to install. From new, high resolution ActiveTarget Live Sonar and Active Imaging with Lowrance CHIRP Sonar, SideScan and DownScan Imaging to preloaded C-MAP® Contour+ Fishing Maps, Elite FS offers anglers all the tools needed to find and catch more fish.
Target Fish Live with New ActiveTarget Live Sonar
Watch high-resolution images of fish movements – tracking them as they swim in and around cover with ActiveTarget Live Sonar. This innovative solution allows users to see how fish are positioned in structure and how they respond to a lure presentation. With this view, anglers know if the current technique is working, or if it’s time to make an adjustment – information that traditional sonar or structure imaging simply won’t deliver.

Build the Complete Elite fishing system
Elite FS displays include full networking capability with Ethernet and NMEA 2000 connectivity, and integrated wireless, making it easy for anglers to create a complete system that fits the way they fish. Add HALO Dome Radar, Outboard Pilot or share sonar, charting, waypoints, and other user data between multiple displays via Ethernet.
“We are very excited to add such a powerful, yet affordable fishfinder/chartplotter to our award-winning lineup,” said Knut Frostad, CEO, Navico Group. “Anglers will love that we have packed our most advanced sonar technologies in an easy to use and install display.”
Available from authorized resellers with 7- and 9-inch displays, the new Elite FS series includes a variety of model options with and without Active Imaging, as well as ActiveTarget Live Sonar transducer solutions.
