Lowrance Eagle 5 SplitShot HD AUS/NZ — 5-Inch IPS Screen with Real-Time Contour Mapping

The Eagle 5 SplitShot HD AUS/NZ from Lowrance brings professional-grade sonar and mapping to a compact, easy-to-use package. Its crisp 5" IPS display stays clear from any angle, even in bright sunlight or when viewed through polarized sunglasses, so you can read bottom structure and targets without squinting. The integrated SplitShot HD transducer combines wide-angle CHIRP sonar with DownScan Imaging to reveal both fish-holding cover and the surrounding contours in stunning detail. FishReveal blends CHIRP with DownScan for clearer target separation, helping you distinguish fish from structure at a glance. Autotuning takes the guesswork out of setup, delivering optimized sonar performance from the moment you power up.

Why this model stands out

• FishReveal™ combines DownScan with CHIRP for unparalleled target identification, helping you quickly confirm whether what you see on screen is active fish or merely structure.
• Genesis Live real-time contouring lets you generate custom ½-foot contour maps of your local lake or uncharted waters as you fish, turning every outing into a living bathymetric survey.
• C-MAP Embedded inland and coastal charts for New Zealand and Australia provide high-resolution mapping right out of the box, so you can navigate to proven fishing hotspots without extra chart packs.
• IPS display design ensures crisp, high-contrast images from any viewing angle, with superb visibility in bright conditions and when wearing polarized sunglasses.

Designed to simplify fishing across Australia and New Zealand, Eagle 5 bundles powerful sonar with practical mapping to shorten your search for the bite. The integrated AUS/NZ Embedded Charts mean you can plan routes, mark productive spots, and return to them with confidence, all from a single device.

Real-world use cases

Imagine paddling a calm inlet at dawn: you can sweep shallow weed beds and drop-offs with CHIRP, then switch to DownScan Imaging to see structure hiding fish. When you spot a promising drop or snag, FishReveal helps you immediately discern fish presence versus clutter, saving time and increasing your odds. If you’re new to the area, Genesis Live lets you build a detailed map of local contours as you fish, so future trips are faster and more productive. The embedded NZ/AU charts guide your navigation through coastlines, bays, and inlets, letting you focus on the fishing rather than on chart scouting.

Who should consider the Eagle 5 SplitShot HD

Ideal for anglers who want high-quality imaging in a compact, user-friendly form factor, especially those operating in New Zealand and Australian waters where embedded charts and real-time contouring add tangible value. It’s a great fit for kayakers and small- to mid-sized boats that benefit from a simple, reliable setup and fast access to reliable charts and real-time mapping.

What it means for your fishing day

With the Eagle 5, you’re not just getting a fish finder—you’re getting a complete hunting tool that helps you locate fish-holding structures, validate targets quickly with FishReveal, and back your decisions with granular, real-time bathymetry. The combination of SplitShot HD, embedded NZ/Aus charts, and Genesis Live ensures that you waste less time searching and more time fishing, no matter the water you’re on.
