Our take on the Lowrance ActiveTarget 2 Live Sonar

The ActiveTarget 2 is Lowrance's forward-facing live sonar, showing fish and your lure in real time as you cast toward structure. It mounts on a trolling motor shaft or transom and feeds a compatible Lowrance HDS or Elite FS chartplotter. Compared with Garmin's LiveScope and Humminbird's MEGA Live, it is known for sharp detail at close range and a wide forward view, though it needs a capable display and careful transducer aiming. It suits bass and walleye anglers who fish shallow cover and want to watch fish react to a presentation.

Questions and answers

What do I need to run the ActiveTarget 2?
A compatible Lowrance HDS or Elite FS chartplotter, plus a mount for the trolling motor or transom. The display is not included.
How does it compare with Garmin LiveScope?
Both give real-time forward views. The ActiveTarget 2 is praised for close-range detail and a wide forward scan; LiveScope has a larger user base and more mounting options.
Does it work in shallow water?
Yes, but the image gets noisy in very shallow or choppy water. It performs best over moderate depths with structure.
Can I use it in saltwater?
The housing is IP67-rated for spray and rain, but it is aimed at freshwater anglers. Rinse it after saltwater use.
Is it worth it over the original ActiveTarget?
Owners report a sharper, wider image and better low-light performance. If you already own the first version, the upgrade is worthwhile mainly for the improved clarity.

Where can I buy the Lowrance ActiveTarget 2 Live Sonar?
