Structure: Structure is a general term for objects on the bottom that present a discontinuity and are a likely attractor for fish. This includes bottom contour features (drop-offs, humps, and holes), standing structure (stumps, timbers, brush piles) and a wide range of other potential objects (sunken boats, reefs). Humminbird® units excel at showing structure with great detail over a wider area due to unique sonar configurations developed for the angler.

Structure ID®: Structure ID® is a Humminbird® feature that describes the traditional grayscale method of presenting sonar information. See Grayscale.

Surface Clutter: Surface Clutter is a phenomenon where sonar returns are reflected off of tiny objects near the surface of the water, including algae and even air bubbles. Typically, saltwater environments have significantly greater surface clutter than freshwater due to continuous wind and wave action that causes aeration at the surface. The Surface Clutter menu provides manual control to bias the default settings under extreme conditions.

Target Separation: Target Separation is the measurement of minimum distance that a fishfinder needs to be able to recognize two very close objects as two distinct targets (i.e. two fish hanging very close, or a fish hanging very close to structure). Humminbird® fishfinders provide a very good 2 1/2 inches of target separation in shallower than 100 feet of depth. Target separation decreases as depth increases due to the need for longer Pulse Width to achieve greater depth. See Pulse Width.

Thermoclines: Thermoclines are water layer(s) of distinctly different temperatures that create a sonar reflection due to the density of the differing water temperatures. Typically a thermocline will appear as a continuous band across the display at some distance above the bottom contour. Thermoclines are of interest to anglers because fish will suspend above or below the thermocline as they seek the optimum temperature and oxygen levels.

Time Variable Gain: Time Variable Gain is a processing step applied to the sonar return to "normalize" the data so that objects of equal size (i.e. fish) appear to be the same size, even if they are separated by a good distance. Time Variable Gain is a fundamental attribute of good sonar, but is often promoted as a feature.

Total Screen Update®: A Humminbird® feature that refreshes and updates all the sonar information on the display when a range change occurs. Without Total Screen Update®, only the most recent sonar information would be drawn to the

The Humminbird 787c2i and 757c are advanced fish finders designed to enhance the fishing experience through their superior technology and features. These models are part of Humminbird's commitment to providing anglers with the tools needed to improve their catch rates and navigate the waters with ease.

One of the standout features of the Humminbird 787c2i is its brilliant 7-inch color display. The large, high-resolution screen offers crystal-clear imaging, making it easier to identify fish and underwater structures. Coupled with a user-friendly interface, the display allows anglers to quickly access vital information without distraction.

The 757c, while slightly smaller with a 7-inch screen as well, boasts similar color resolution and quality. Both models utilize Humminbird's cutting-edge sonar technologies, including DualBeam PLUS sonar, which provides versatility in fishing techniques. The DualBeam technology allows the user to switch between narrow and wide beams for precise coverage of underwater areas.

Another notable feature is the exclusive SwitchFire technology. This enables users to customize the way sonar returns are displayed on their screen. Anglers can choose between a traditional view or an enhanced view, allowing for a more detailed look at the underwater environment. The added water column data helps in recognizing fish movement and behavior, invaluable information for any angler.

Both models come equipped with built-in GPS capabilities. The 787c2i includes a mapping feature that allows for precise navigation on water. The included Navionics Gold cartography provides detailed charts and information about various water bodies, helping anglers to find new fishing hotspots effortlessly.

For connectivity, the Humminbird 787c2i and 757c support an array of accessories, including radar and i-Pilot Link, enhancing the user experience with added functionalities like autopilot and advanced navigation features.

Other characteristics include an accurate temperature sensor, adjustable backlighting for optimal visibility in various lighting conditions, and a flexible mounting system. Overall, the Humminbird 787c2i and 757c stand out not just for their features, but also for their reliability and performance on the water, making them a valuable choice for both novice and seasoned anglers. These fish finders embody the spirit of innovation that Humminbird is known for, ensuring that users have the best tools at their disposal for a successful fishing expedition.
