Humminbird MEGA Live Imaging TargetLock

Minn Kota Spot-Lock® changed the way anglers fished, giving them the ability to hold boat positioning on a specific spot and fish it to its fullest. Humminbird MEGA Live Imaging ® gives anglers an unprecedented view of the underwater world around them. Anglers have been given the power of these two tools but have not had the ability to use them both simultaneously…until now.

Now adding to Humminbird’s best-in-class sonar technologies, MEGA Live TargetLock™ provides anglers the ability to control their MEGA Live transducer with either their Minn Kota Ultrex footpedal or independently using a stand-alone foot pedal, wireless remote or Humminbird fish finder. To give anglers the best possible experience on the water, these two groundbreaking technologies can be used in tandem – allowing users to make the most of their MEGA Live Imaging without sacrificing their Minn Kota’s Spot-Lock.

  • Wireless foot pedal provides control of left/right steering, TargetLock and programmable One-Boat Network button
