With today’s technology the aspect of live imaging becomes more front and center than ever before; Lowrance Active Target gives you a front seat view of the fish live on screen and allows you to target them by vertically dropping baits on top of their heads. When you do this, you are vertical fishing, a technique that has just exploded with the on set of live forward imaging.
