LX7 Qwerks

I recently updated to an LX7 from a FL-18. Overall I’m impressed. I mostly use the chart display and the vertical zoom display. I do have a couple of questions.

1. I use the six color display most of the time and for whatever the “blob” just seems so dang big. I don’t know if that’s good or bad yet. On the vex, the “blob” was much smaller. It was easier to read. Is there just a learning curve? It seems the LX7 is way more sensitive than the FL-18.

2. When I hole hope there are times when I almost have to “redefine” and find my depth which leads me to changing sensitivity settings every time I hole hope. What am I doing wrong?

3. When I use a lure such as a Genz worm, it is tough to find unless I turned the sensitivity up to two and then it’s almost too big again. Thoughts?

Overall I think it’s just so much more sensitive than what I’m used to and there is a learning curve. Thoughts?

Thanks!

Target Adjust will help
Ping rate- depending on depth / weeds
Cone Angle at different depths.
and are you using dynamic auto or dynamic manual or manual?

Lots of variables….

I use mostly manual mode. Changed the target setting often. Used both cone angles. I haven’t messed with the ping settings. No weeds really to speak of. Like I said I’m guessing it’s a learning curve.

Any other thoughts?

You also can’t look at your gain the same as you vex. It will seem higher but they are two different kind of units. The blue on the 6 color pallet will show up when a fish comes in tight to the bottom I believe it is detecting the dorsal fin.

Call me stupid… but I only use the 3 color scheme. I have the lx7 and flx 28. I only use the red yellow and green. IMO it doesn’t change anything except more things to learn and more confusing. I guess in my situation I am paying for things that I don’t really use nor benefits me. Lol
