Walmart batteries have always worked well for me

Oh OK. My 2 SV's seem to cast just as far as my CT's and my chronarch ci4. I never throw anything over 5/8 ounce. Maybe that's why I see no difference?

Third on the daiwa fuego

Why do you say that?

So turning up the gain on the downscan will make dots (fish) easier to see? If so I need to turn mine up as well.

I’ve never really had much luck with Senkos . I always had better luck with other plastics. I decided to give the Senko one last shot last week and caught 2 nice bass.

I should have said jig all year.

I'd say jerk bait in cold water. Jig any other time.

I use 12 lb fluorocarbon

You made the right choice by not getting an e6x.

I didn't realize that fish showed as specks on the clearvu. I usually run split screen and while I have no problem seeing fish on the traditional it's hard to see any on the clearvu screen. I'll have to look closer next time I go out.

It’s hard to tell without seeing a picture . I have a Garmin striker 7 and its pretty easy to tell what’s a fish and what’s not. Maybe your settings need to be adjusted? I keep the fish alarm on on mine and it beeps when your over fish.

Down imaging doesn’t show fish, only structure. That’s why you’re not seeing them on the clearvu screen.

I use P-line tactical fluorocarbon. Strong and casts like mono.

1/8 or 3/16

Also make sure your transducer is level

I agree. I have a striker 7 and the cables have came loose a couple of times while on the water.

Mostly daiwa. Have one shimano

That's the kind of boat I've been looking for. I wish I could find a deal like that around here.

Yes. Same blank. Just longer. It's a moderate fast

I have the 7 ‘ medium Tatula rod. I use it for lipless and squarebills.. I really like it a lot.

Haha my phone accidentally posted and I couldn't figure out how to delete it ?

Kvd has a jerk bait fishing video on YouTube. Very informative

More thrust isn’t going to you much more speed. If you want to go fast you’re going to need an outboard.
