FISHING FURUNO DFF 3D – Advanced Sonar Technology for Serious Anglers
The Furuno DFF-3D Multi-Beam Sonar System revolutionizes fishing with real-time 3D underwater visualization. Designed for professional and recreational anglers, this sonar module delivers a 120° port-to-starboard view, scanning up to 200 meters (650 feet) below the boat. Whether you’re bottom fishing, trolling, or scanning wide areas, the DFF-3D offers unmatched precision and performance.
This system features four sonar modes:
3D Sounder History – Displays 3D history of fish targets and the seafloor.
Triple Beam Sounder – Allows simultaneous viewing of port, center, and starboard beams.
Cross-Section – Provides vertical profile of the water column.
Side Scan – Offers high-resolution imagery of the seafloor on both sides of your vessel.
The DFF-3D operates at 165 kHz and integrates seamlessly with NavNet TZtouch, TZtouch2, and TZtouch3 MFDs. Its built-in motion sensors correct for vessel movement, ensuring accurate imagery. Perfect for deep-sea fishing, structure mapping, and bait tracking, the Furuno DFF-3D is a game-changer in sonar technology.
