One of the features of the high end flashers is the narrow beam transducer. If you are trying to get 3 lines on the screen, the narrow beam will never be necessary. So you should save the money and just get one or two less expensive (20 degree) transducer flashers. Whether it’s Vex, Marcum, or Hummingbird, all the less expensive models usually come with a 20 degree cone transducer.

Thanks! That’s what I needed to know.

It seems like you have to point the trolling motor in the direction of your lure to see it on the screen. If you only fish on calm days with little to no wind, no problem. But let’s be realistic. If it’s windy and you’re on the trolling motor every 5-10 seconds, you may have a problem. Unless you want to cast directly into the wind on every cast. Just my observation.
