Lowrance have proven themselves time and time again, and in the market of smaller boats, kayaks and even SUPs, the latest 4inch unit from Lowrance ticks all the boxes for estuary fishing tech you will need. The Lowrance Eagle 4x is a great entry-level fishfinder because it delivers all the essential sonar capabilities in a simple, affordable package — perfect for beginners or casual anglers. Here’s why it stands out:
User-Friendly Interface
- Intuitive controls and menus make it easy to use, even for someone new to fishfinding.
- Simple plug-and-play setup, no complex configurations required.
High-Quality Display
- Features a bright 4-inch SolarMAX™ screen, which offers clear visibility in sunlight and from wide viewing angles — important when you’re out on the water.
Reliable Sonar Performance
- Equipped with bulletproof Lowrance sonar technology that clearly shows fish, structure, and bottom details
- Ideal for inland and shallow saltwater fishing.
Affordable Without Compromise
- Budget-friendly without sacrificing quality or key features
- Great for small boats, kayaks, or first-time buyers who want trusted Lowrance performance without a big investment.
Durability & Brand Legacy
- Built tough for rugged use, with a brand backed by decades of marine electronics expertise.
- The Eagle range revives a classic Lowrance name known for reliability among anglers.
- 3 Year warranty
Downside
- The only downside of this unit is that there is no built in GPS. Therefore you cannot save any waypoints or make use of mapping or compass features. However, it was not designed for this purpose and if you need this feature, you will look to the 5inch unit or bigger.
Who’s it for?
- Beginner anglers, weekend warriors, or anyone who wants a no-fuss sonar to find fish and understand underwater structure quickly and clearly.
- Perfect for fishing estuaries and dams. But of course works great offshore fishing off a kayak where you dont necessarily need a GPS Function.
Conclusion
This is a great, quality and compact unit with an awesome screen and really is a pleasure to use and very easy to navigate. At an incredible price point for what you get, it is really worthwhile considering when shopping for a company entry level unit.
