You can set the TargetLock in the current direction the transducer is facing with the click of a button on the foot pedal or remote. These same devices are what anglers use to set the TargetLock function. Users control the transducer with a wireless foot pedal, a Humminbird fishfinder or an optional handheld remote. Whether your boat is moving or drifting, or your Spot-Lock is engaged, TargetLock remains focused on structure and fish. Think of it almost like Spot-Lock, except, instead of keeping your boat on a fixed position, it keeps your MEGA Live transducer pointed at a targeted piece of structure. With a simple push of a button, the TargetLock feature locks the MEGA Live onto structure and keeps it in clear view by automatically adjusting the transducer as the boat moves position and changes direction. The namesake functionality on this new product, this is a groundbreaking capability that should appeal to many anglers. Below, let’s discuss each of these and how it elevates what anglers can do while fishing. When Humminbird staffers explained this new product to us, they broke the discussion down into four key essential features/capabilities that it offers anglers. This sounds simple when you say it out loud, but there’s a lot that goes into it-and plenty of other great innovations exclusive to MEGA Live TargetLock and Minn Kota Ultrex users that expand what they are capable of on the water.Ī few weeks ago, I attended a pre-ICAST event on Green Bay in Door County, Wis., designed to introduce media members to the new MEGA Live Imaging TargetLock. No more drifting off your spot while trying to stay on fish with Live Imaging or losing track of fish while keeping your boat locked in place on a spot. Whereas before anglers would have to sacrifice either boat control or Spot-Lock for precise live sonar or vice versa, with new Humminbird MEGA Live Imaging TargetLock, you can now control a Live Imaging transducer separate from your trolling motor. The transducer will stay locked on the structure or fish no matter where you move the boat. Then set the TargetLock and control your boat as you normally would.
Use the included foot pedal, your Humminbird fishfinder or an optional remote (not shown) to independently control your MEGA Live transducer with TargetLock. Instead, it permits the angler to use their Minn Kota Ultrex trolling motor (and Spot-Lock) and MEGA Live Imaging simultaneously and independently of each other.

Although its features go beyond this, what this device-mounted independently of the trolling motor shaft-ultimately does is free the MEGA Live Imaging transducer from its trolling motor chain. Brand new for 2022 is what Humminbird is calling MEGA Live Imaging TargetLock. We have never been able to "see" beneath the water more clearly-in real time-or control our boats with such ease and efficiency as we can right now.Ī well-known name in both categories with its Humminbird MEGA Live Imaging and Minn Kota Spot-Lock, Johnson Outdoors (the parent company of Humminbird and Minn Kota) has introduced a new accessory that allows anglers to better utilize these two powerful tools on the water. Perhaps two of the most groundbreaking new technological developments in recent years have been live sonar and GPS integration in trolling motors. Technology is ever and always advancing what anglers can do.
