Hello...I fish from a Kayak mainly for smallmouth and I was wanting to get a depth finder. I have been looking at the eagle cuda 168 and was wondering if it would be a great entry level unit. If not what other depth finders whould i consider purchasing? I like the price of the cuda 168 but maybe i would be better off spending a little more money on a better.

Please help thanks

I have a Cuda 168EX it is several years old and has performed flawless

I run the Cuda 128 in my little puddle jumper and my buddy uses the Cuda 168.  The only difference between the 2 is screen resolution.  Anyway, I love that little sonar.  I can read bottom at 25mph, in 40+ fow.  Not that, that matters on a Kayak..lol.  But I am very happy with it.  If I set it up right it can read a 1/16oz jig, in 20-30' fow.  Or a 1oz jig in 75' going for lakers.  Plus the temperature read out is a really nice feature.

IMHO, not sure you can find a better sonar for under $75.

I have had the 168 in my Jon for about 6 months. It works great, for the price I do not think you can beat it.

Thank everyone for the reviews on this unit. I'll be picking one up in the next few weeks once the snow starts to melt
