Humminbird HELIX 5 G2 Chirp SI GPS Combo
Humminbird HELIX 5 G2 Chirp SI GPS Combo Product Description
Unlock Crystal-Clear Waters with Advanced Sonar Technology
Imagine gliding across a lake at dawn, your boat humming softly, and suddenly spotting fish hugging a submerged tree line or cruising along a drop-off—before your lure even hits the water. That's the edge the HELIX 5 CHIRP SI GPS G2 delivers to serious anglers. This compact powerhouse combines razor-sharp imaging with pinpoint navigation, turning guesswork into precision strikes. Whether you're chasing walleye in shallow bays or bass near deep structure, its CHIRP-enabled Side and Down Imaging reveal details that traditional sonar misses, helping you cover more water and hook more fish.
Why Anglers Swear by This Fishfinder
- Game-Changing Imaging: See fish, bait schools, and bottom contours in photo-like detail up to 100 feet side-to-side and 350 feet straight down.
- Seamless GPS Integration: Built-in charting keeps you oriented, even on unfamiliar waters, with room to customize maps on the fly.
- Compact Yet Mighty: Fits snugly on kayaks, bass boats, or consoles without sacrificing power or screen real estate.
- User-Friendly Interface: Intuitive controls and customizable views let you focus on fishing, not fiddling with settings.
Master the Depths: Sonar Features That Outperform
At the heart of the HELIX 5 lies its multi-range CHIRP sonar, which sweeps across frequencies (like 75-95 kHz for deep water and 420-520 kHz for high-res imaging) to paint a fuller picture than fixed-frequency units. SwitchFire lets you toggle between Max Mode for every echo or Clear Mode for clutter-free returns, adapting to murky rivers or clear lakes.
Side Imaging: Your 180-Degree Scout
Casting a wide net without moving your boat, Side Imaging scans 100 feet to each side at speeds up to 5 mph. Spot isolated rock piles, weed edges, or cruising predators from afar—perfect for dialing in troll speeds or picking precise cast spots.
Down Imaging: Fish-Eye Precision Below
Dive deeper with nearly photographic views of the bottom directly under your hull. High-frequency beams separate fish from structure effortlessly, revealing suspended crappie or bottom-hugging catfish you might otherwise overlook.
DualBeam PLUS: Versatile Coverage
A narrow beam (20°) for laser-focused detail pairs with a wide 60° beam for broad searches, ensuring you never miss the action. Rated for 1,500 feet of depth, it handles everything from shallow ponds to big-water reservoirs.
Navigate Like a Pro with Built-In GPS and Custom Maps
Precision Internal GPS tracks your path with GPS speed included, overlaying Humminbird's UniMap base charts covering U.S. coastlines, lakes, and rivers. The microSD slot opens doors to advanced upgrades—record sonar logs, save hotspots, or layer in detailed contours.
- AutoChart Live: Map your own contours in real-time, zeroing in on humps and points where fish stage.
- Waypoint Mastery: Store 2,750 waypoints, 47 routes, and 50 tracks with 20,000 points for repeatable success.
- Surface Temp Sensor: Built into the transducer, it helps time your bites based on thermal breaks.
Pro Tip: Use trackback to rewind sonar history and drop a waypoint on that school you just passed—saves time on multi-species days.

Real-World Tips to Maximize Your HELIX 5
Anglers report 30-50% more hookups after dialing in these tweaks:
- Run Side Imaging at 3-4 mph for sharpest images—faster blurs details.
- Pair Down Imaging with zoom on structure for surgical jigging.
- Customize palettes (e.g., white for low light) to match conditions.
- Update firmware regularly for new features like enhanced AutoChart.
From ice-out crappie to fall smallmouth, this unit adapts, powering tournament wins and family outings alike.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes CHIRP sonar better than traditional sonar on the HELIX 5?
CHIRP transmits across a range of frequencies simultaneously, providing clearer target separation, better depth penetration, and more vivid images of fish and structure compared to single-frequency sonar.
How far can Side Imaging reach with this model?
Side Imaging offers coverage up to 100 feet to each side of your boat, giving a total 180-degree view for scouting without repositioning.
Is the GPS receiver reliable for inland lakes?
Yes, the internal GPS provides accurate positioning with built-in UniMap charts for U.S. lakes and rivers, plus GPS speed for precise trolling.
Can I use custom maps with the microSD slot?
Absolutely—the slot supports detailed cartography, sonar recordings, waypoints, and software updates, including AutoChart for live mapping.
What's the best boat speed for optimal imaging?
For Side and Down Imaging, 2-5 mph yields the crispest details; slower for max resolution, faster for coverage.
Does it include a temperature sensor?
Yes, the included transducer has a built-in water temp sensor, ideal for locating thermal edges where fish congregate.
How easy is mounting and powering this unit?
Gimbal or flush-mount options fit most setups; it draws just 615mA on 12V systems, compatible with standard marine batteries.
