Lowrance Eagle 5 Fish Finder — SplitShot HD with C-MAP US Inland Charts

Eagle 5 — Compact Fish Finder, No Compromises on Sonar

The Lowrance Eagle 5 with SplitShot HD is the most compact unit in the Eagle lineup — a 5-inch fish finder and chartplotter built for anglers who want capable sonar and detailed charts in a small, lightweight package. With CHIRP sonar, DownScan Imaging™, FishReveal™ technology, and pre-loaded C-MAP® US Inland charts, it punches well above its size class and delivers everything you need to find fish and navigate with confidence.

What Makes It Stand Out

• SplitShot™ HD Transducer Included — Combines CHIRP sonar and DownScan Imaging™ in a compact, low-profile transducer. CHIRP delivers precise target separation at depth; DownScan gives you a photo-like view of structure directly below the boat.
• FishReveal™ Technology — Overlays CHIRP sonar returns on DownScan images so you can instantly distinguish fish from weeds, rocks, and debris — no guesswork required.
• 5" IPS Display — High-resolution screen with wide viewing angles and excellent visibility even through polarized sunglasses in direct sunlight. Customizable color palettes let you adapt to changing light conditions.
• Autotuning Sonar — Automatically optimizes sonar settings at startup so you’re ready to fish the moment you power on — no manual adjustments needed.
• C-MAP® US Inland Charts with Genesis® Live — Detailed vector charts covering U.S. inland waterways, with 1-foot contours on 19,000+ U.S. lakes and 9,400+ Canadian lakes. Genesis Live lets you build custom depth maps in real time as you fish.
• Twist-Lock Connector System — Secure, tool-free transducer connection for fast, reliable installation and removal — ideal for portable setups, kayaks, or multi-boat use.
• SD Card Slot — Supports software updates, Genesis Live recording, and chart add-ons.

Best Use Case

The Eagle 5 is the go-to choice for kayak anglers, small boat owners, and anyone who needs a capable fish finder in a tight mounting space. Its compact 5" footprint makes it easy to mount on kayak tracks, small console boats, tiller arms, or jon boats where a larger display simply won’t fit. Despite its size, it delivers the same CHIRP sonar quality and FishReveal™ technology as the larger Eagle models — making it an excellent entry point into the Eagle series without sacrificing sonar performance. Ideal for panfish, bass, and walleye anglers fishing lakes, rivers, and reservoirs.

Is the Eagle 5 Right for You?

The Eagle 5 uses SplitShot HD, which covers directly below the boat with CHIRP and DownScan. If you want to scan to the sides of your boat — useful for locating fish along weed edges, channel walls, or submerged structure — consider stepping up to the Eagle 7 with TripleShot HD, which adds SideScan Imaging™. If you simply need more screen real estate, the Eagle 7 with SplitShot HD offers the same sonar in a larger display.

Parts Desk Insights

Best Use Case: The Eagle 5 is the top recommendation for kayak anglers and small-boat owners who need a compact, lightweight unit with real sonar capability. It’s also a strong choice as a secondary display on larger boats where a full MFD is already installed at the helm. If a customer is choosing between the Eagle 5 and Eagle 7, the deciding factor is almost always mounting space and screen preference — the sonar performance is equivalent. Customers who mention fishing heavy structure or wanting to see beside the boat should be directed to the Eagle 7 TripleShot instead.

What to Know Before You Buy: The SplitShot™ HD transducer is included — no separate transducer purchase required. The unit uses a proprietary twist-lock connector; third-party transducers are not compatible without an adapter. C-MAP US Inland charts are pre-loaded; C-MAP DISCOVER or Navionics cards can be added via the SD slot for expanded coverage. This unit does not include SideScan Imaging™ and does not support NMEA 2000 networking or radar integration.
