That's the edge the Humminbird HELIX 5 G2 CHIRP GPS Combo delivers to serious anglers.

Whether you're chasing bass in shallow lakes or hunting walleye in deeper waters, its upgraded interface and robust features make every outing more productive.
Unlock Superior Fish Detection with CHIRP DualBeam PLUS
At the heart of this fishfinder lies CHIRP DualBeam PLUS sonar, pumping out 4000 watts peak-to-peak power for unmatched target separation down to 2.5 inches. Traditional sonar pings a single frequency, but CHIRP sweeps across a range—like 75-95 kHz for wide coverage or 175-225 kHz for razor-sharp detail—revealing fish, structure, and baitfish in ways that keep you ahead of the competition.
- Exclusive Multi-Range CHIRP: Toggle low, mid, and high ranges separately or stacked for a complete underwater picture.
- SwitchFire Sonar: Switch between Clear Mode for clutter-free views or Max Mode for every echo, adapting to murky or clear conditions.
- Wide and Narrow Beams: 60° wide beam scans vast areas for initial scouting; 20° narrow beam locks onto precise bottom contours and fish arches.
Capable of 1500 feet depth, it's ideal for everything from inland rivers to offshore adventures, with a built-in transducer temp sensor to track water conditions that trigger bites.
Precision Navigation with Built-in GPS and Mapping
No fumbling with external antennas—the GPS receiver is integrated right into the head unit, delivering reliable tracking and chartplotting. Start with Humminbird's UniMap, covering U.S. coastlines, lakes, and rivers at impressive detail. Insert a micro SD card to upgrade with LakeMaster charts or Navionics+ for contour shading and high-definition lake maps.
- AutoChart Live: Create your own custom maps in real-time, mapping depth, bottom hardness, and vegetation as you fish.
- SmartStrike: Analyzes historical data to highlight hot spots where fish are actively feeding.
- Waypoints and Routes: Store 2,750 waypoints, 47 routes, and 50 tracks with 20,000 points—perfect for repeating proven patterns.
GPS speed readout keeps you informed without extra gadgets, ensuring you're always on the money.
Brilliant 5-Inch Display and Intuitive Controls
The 800 x 480 resolution color TFT screen bursts with 16-bit color depth and LED backlight, staying visible even in harsh sunlight. The G2's revamped operating system simplifies menus, letting you split-screen zoom, bottom lock, or view large digits effortlessly. Gimbal or in-dash mounting fits any console, with dimensions that won't crowd your space.
