Lowrance ActiveTarget2 Module + Transducer + Mounts - Live Targeting

In this review of the Lowrance ActiveTarget2 Module + Transducer + Mounts the bottom line is clear: serious anglers who want real-time, high-resolution views under and ahead of the boat will appreciate this system. The package delivers the clearest live action images of fish and structure, with multiple viewing angles that help interpret what is happening below the surface faster. For fishermen who use advanced chartplotters and want to track baits or targets forward of the boat, this unit is a practical upgrade rather than a basic depth finder.

Key Features

• High-resolution live imaging: Provides crisp, real-time visual detail so anglers can identify fish and structure as they move.
• Multiple view directions: Forward, Down and Scout views let users inspect areas around and ahead of the boat for more complete situational awareness.
• Smooth underwater playback: Delivers steady images that make interpretation of fish behavior and structure quicker and more reliable.
• HDS Pro multi-view: Allows simultaneous display of multiple views for cross-referencing targets and bait presentation strategies.
• Optional second transducer capability: Enable 180 and Scout Wide views by adding a second ActiveTarget 2 transducer for better bait tracking ahead of the boat.

Who It's For

This system is aimed at tournament anglers, serious recreational fishermen, and boat owners who already run compatible Lowrance displays and want true live targeting instead of static sonar snapshots. The module and transducer setup benefits users who need to track moving bait and fish behavior in open water or complex structure.

Less experienced anglers or those seeking a simple depth-only unit should look elsewhere, since this package is an advanced live-imaging system that is best used with compatible displays and some on-water familiarity to get the most from features like Scout and 180 views.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Exceptionally clear live images that reveal fish and structure in real time.
• Versatile viewing options (Forward, Down, Scout) that broaden situational awareness around the boat.
• Ability to view multiple angles simultaneously on HDS Pro makes target analysis faster and more confident.
• Optional second transducer support for expanded 180 and Scout Wide coverage when bait tracking ahead of the boat.

Cons

• Best performance depends on compatible displays and a setup that may be more than casual users need.
• Advanced features require some time on the water to learn and interpret live action imaging effectively.
