Are the forward transducers able to read in that deep of water? I have the down view and I haven’t fished in deep enough water to see both the ball and the lure at the same time. I guess if I shortened the line out from the ball I could see them, but I like the cranks to be at least 20′ behind the rigger ball. I can still see fish moving up towards the bait just go off the screen when they hit. In general I have been using it in 30-35′ of water trolling with down riggers. It is pretty amazing technology.
That’s why I’m thinking the Forward version might work better to see both the downrigger weights and the lures behind them, and then see fish come up and trail the baits or hit them. I just don’t know how deep the forward view will work. I might try giving Garmin a call and speaking with one of their engineers.
