Lakemaster, Lakemaster Plus or Smartstrike

Going to get one of these for my Helix. Do I really need Pro or Smartstrike?

I got the helix 7 mega si g3 and a Wisconsin lakemaster chip and a Minnesota lakemaster chip they work great so I'd say your wasting money buying the smartphone or the plus. On the regular chip some lakes and rivers are in HD which is is a bonus.

I have a Helix 9 if both the lakemaster card and Smart strike are in stalled in your 2 slots it will not work they are not comparable together

I am a Lakemaster / Bird guy, but never used Smartstrike.  However extremely happy with the Lakemaster product.

I have the smartstrike chip and am glad I bought it.  I wish it had a few more perimeters to choose from, but I have found new areas to fish in a lake I have fished for 20 years, and as a result, am catching more fish.

  You will find new areas.
