my lowrance done up to 400m with the standard tranny

my new one will do 720ish if its calm, seldom is it ever calm out that wide
its good but I thought for the money going in I was going to get something wow

so before you go spend mega, play with your settings on your current one
put it on 50hz for deep use
play with the sensitivity settings
dont be scared to play as you can just revert to factory settings if things arnt looking like they use to

TVG has a big effect down deep. TM260 is a good transducer whether it be on a lowrance, simrad or furuno. Finding the bottom and seeing fish at depth are two totally different things
