Brand new to the market is this Humminbird 345c DI fishfinder. As there is not much information out there yet on this unit, I really wanted to get as much Information on it as I could so you could make an informed decision if this was one you would like to know more about.
Humminbird 345c DI FishFinder says it is one of their best-selling Hummingbird. Of course, Humminbird is a well know manufacturer of best fish finders. You’re not going to find too many reviews on this as it is so new but just for the fact it is made by Humminbird is a huge plus to consider.
I also have three videos to share, one is what comes in the box and explains everything about it and another one showing the actual performance of this unit, very informative.

The screen display is very important to me as I have to wear glasses to see anything too small but this unit has a very good 3.5” diagonal display screen which is big enough for even my eyesight. Oh, Did I mention it is in color?
The screen resolution is 320×240 Pixels and is also equipped with LED backlight, again another important feature that I really like especially if I’m out just before sunrise or just after sundown.
