Hi,

Has anyone got the chirp who previously owned the pro plus

Just wanted to see if it's worth paying extra money. From what I can see it's more detailed

Thanks

Rich

Yep I have, I was disappointed as not a lot of difference.
I used to do fine with my pro+ don't really feel the chirp gives me much more.

So you don't think you get a better picture of soft/hard bottom, weeds etc?
I am in the same situation, got the Pro+, wondered if I should get the Chirp.

Pre-order as no stock at present, but the Chirp+ solid bag bundle with cult DPM hard case is £242 at TFT with the current flash sale code BIGONE. Or the Pro plus solid bag bundle which is in stock for £178. Mega tempted!

I'm glad this thread has been made as I have never used a deeper before but I know the difference between chirp and normal sonar. Will save me a bit of money

I believe the Chirp will give you a better bathometric map over the Pro + and starts at a foot depth whereas the Pro + starts around 3 feet

From seeing them side by side the chirp gives a more detailed and accurate pic of the bottom, whether that is enough for people to swap I'm not sure.

Cant Comment on the Pro Plus but did get the Deeper Chirp not long after it came out and used it for a French trip last year.
I have used a Lowrance Chirp 4 which was built into my RT4, the Deeper was virtually the same and IMO it's very good.

This is a image I posted on the forum last year when testing the Deeper Chirp, unfortunately on a silty Cheshire Mere so not the most detail!

That does look good and I also have a pro+.

I have seen comments that the GPS is better on the CHIRP - Does anyone else have issues with the GPS on the Pro+ and perhaps managed to fix them?

Thanks!
Are you sure?
