FishTrax 1 — Go-Anywhere Portable Fish Finder, Ready in Seconds
The HawkEye FishTrax 1 is a compact, self-contained portable fish finder built for anglers who want reliable sonar without the complexity or cost of a mounted unit. Toss the transducer in the water, power on the display, and you’re fishing — it’s that simple. Whether you’re on a kayak, a rental boat, fishing through the ice, or casting from shore, the FishTrax 1 gives you instant depth, fish location, bottom structure, and water temperature in a package that fits in your tackle bag.
What Makes It Stand Out
- VirtuView™ ICON Display — A clear, easy-to-read screen that shows fish icons, depth readings, bottom structure, and water temperature at a glance — no sonar interpretation required. Fish are displayed as icons with their depth shown directly on screen.
- FishTrax™ Intelligent Sonar — Detects depth, locates fish, and defines bottom contour, composition, and structure. Rock indicators on the display help you identify hard bottom vs. soft bottom — key information for finding where fish hold.
- VariableZone™ Water Temperature — Provides instant water temperature readings alongside depth data, helping you identify thermoclines and find the temperature zones where fish are most active.
- Fish Depth Scale — Shows exactly how far down each fish is, so you can match your presentation to the depth of the fish — no guessing.
- Three-Way Transducer Versatility — The included transducer is floatable, trollable, and boat-mountable. Toss it overboard and let it float, troll it behind the boat, or mount it to the hull — whatever your fishing situation calls for.
- Truly Portable — Handheld, battery-powered, and compact enough to fit in a tackle bag or backpack. No permanent installation required.
Best Use Case
The FishTrax 1 is the ideal choice for anglers who fish from multiple watercraft, rent boats, fish through the ice, or simply want a no-fuss fish finder they can take anywhere. It’s especially well-suited for kayak anglers who don’t want a permanently mounted unit, shore anglers who want to check depth before casting, and ice fishermen who need a portable sonar solution. If you’re new to fish finders and want to understand sonar before committing to a mounted unit, the FishTrax 1 is an excellent starting point.
Is the FishTrax 1 Right for You?
The FishTrax 1 uses traditional sonar with an ICON display — it does not include CHIRP sonar, DownScan Imaging™, built-in charts, or GPS. If you want more sonar detail, FishReveal™ technology, and integrated charting in a compact package, consider the Lowrance Eagle 5 with SplitShot HD as a step up. For a basic mounted fish finder with a portrait display ideal for kayaks, the Lowrance Eagle 4x is a natural comparison.
Compatible Mounting Accessories
- Scotty Universal Fish Finder Mount — Versatile mounting solution for attaching fish finders to kayaks, canoes, and small boats.
- Scotty Universal Sounder/Fish Finder Mount — Additional mounting option for flexible transducer and display positioning.
Parts Desk Insights
Best Use Case: The FishTrax 1 is the best recommendation for customers who want the simplest possible fish finding experience — no installation, no wiring, no learning curve. It’s the top pick for ice fishing, kayak fishing without a mounting system, rental boat use, and as a gift for a beginner angler. The ICON display makes it genuinely easy for anyone to understand what they’re seeing. If a customer is comparing this to a mounted unit like the Eagle 4x or Eagle 5, the key question is whether they want a permanent installation or true portability — the FishTrax 1 wins on flexibility, the mounted units win on display size and sonar quality.
What to Know Before You Buy: The FishTrax 1 uses traditional sonar — no CHIRP, no imaging, no GPS, no charts. Fish are shown as icons, not raw sonar arches. The transducer can be tossed overboard, trolled, or hull-mounted — all three methods are included in the box. Battery-powered; check current battery requirements before recommending for extended trips. Not suitable as a replacement for a mounted chartplotter or navigation device.
