Lowrance ActiveTarget 2 XL Live Sonar with Transducer [000-16488-001]

Product Introduction

The Lowrance ActiveTarget 2 XL is a live sonar system with a new XL transducer that gives a 180° surface-to-surface view of fish and bait movement in real time. Forward, Down and Scout views all come from a single transducer, and you can switch between Forward and Down views from your display. It works with HDS Pro, HDS Live, HDS Carbon and Elite FS displays and is compatible with the existing ActiveTarget 2 sonar module.

Why This Product?

If you already fish with live sonar, the XL transducer simplifies the setup. All views are available from one transducer, you can reuse your existing ActiveTarget 2 module, and the redesigned bracket makes it quicker to move into Scout mode. If you want full coverage around the boat, two XL systems can be combined for a 360° Scout view on HDS Pro.

What Can I Use This Product For?

• Watching fish and bait in real time: see movement live, from the moment your lure drops to the bite.
• Forward and Down views: switch between the two from your display without handling the transducer.
• Scouting for places to cast: use Scout mode with quick-reference markers for deep and shallow water.
• Full 180° coverage: view the area from surface to surface across the whole display.
• 360° live view around the boat: combine two XL systems on an HDS Pro display.
