colors can work fine with any visibility
, depending on the kind
of lure and its depth. Experiment with different lures with various weather and water conditions and see what works for you.
•Most lures will sink when you’re not reeling and will rise to various levels according to the reeling speed. The Crankbaits and
Buzzbaits are specialty lures and perform a bit differently. The
Crankbaits float at rest but will dive to specific depths while
being reeled in. The depth ranges of the Crankbaits are:
Shallow (1 to 5 feet), Medium (5 to 10 feet), and Deep (10 to 15
feet). The Buzzbait, a top-water lure, is good for fish that are
at or near the surface. It will sink at rest, but while being
eeled in, it will rise and stay on the surface of the water.

LET’S BEGIN
To start fishing, turn on the unit by pressing the ON button. You
are now ready to cast your line and start fishing! However, there
are a few decisions or considerations to make.
-
LURE DEPTH - You will have the best chance of getting a bite
by controlling your lure depth (with your reeling speed) and
keeping the lur
e at the level of one of the fish shown on the
sonar screen.
LINE TENSION and LINE OUT - If you are reeling-in a large
fish, keep an eye on the LINE TENSION and LINE OUT displays.
If the tension level increases outward into the red zone, you will
need to adjust the drag down ( ) to quickly avoid br
line. If the tension level is very low and your line out is incr
eaking the
eas
ing, you will need to adjust the drag up ( ) to keep the fish
from swimming away with the line. There are 12 drag levels.
“MIN” or “MAX” will be displayed at each extr
eme.
