First, I’m not new to flashers, I’ve owned three previous to my LX5, and now an LX9. I have fished the same jig as in the photo with the 5 and had no issues picking it up in 15 fow or less and not having the gain turned up past 3 max. I took the LX9 out this afternoon in 16 fow. I could not pick up the jig past 10 feet unless the sensitivity was around 22 and the target adjustment was at 6 or so. I was marking fish, I even caught a fish but was not absolutely sure the jig with two spikes was above or below the fish in 12 fow. The ducer was below the ice, I had the line as verticle as I could next to the ducer cord, I tried both cones, had 12.5 volts and battery was fully charged and still can’t figure it out. I was kicking myselft for not recording what I was seeing so I could share it better with you. I could mark the jig as it was going down, but it would “fade” into nothing around 10 feet or so. I’ve tried reading the manual again after 3 reads but am still baffled. Again, is it the jig, something I’m not doing correctly that someone else is picking up? Thanks for the help.
