hammer

I did not even know there was such an anaimal. I find out something new everytime I visit. thanks!

I always use a #4 EWG hook with 12-17lb mono. The Mono streches and allows the fish time to get a good lip on the fluke. I tried using a braid :'(and had the same problem of missing the hook set.

xxmur1xx, I have tried two versions the Shad and the craw. I had some luck with the shad in the early spring but no luck with the craw yet. I have found they domnt work that well you have to crank them slow or the bait tends to run sidways and does not get any depth. I think your better off with a fluke or a tube, the baits are frustating to me and dont crank well.

Hey thats mine I lost it on a fish wed just get with me and Ill give you shiping information... HA!! nice twofor >

Thanks a bunch!!!! Glen you hit it on the head the ping speed was the ticket and now it is reading like a lowrance should!!

I went fishing a few days ago the temp was 46 and I caught several good keepers on a lipless plug, it seemed to be the best producer in the box. I throw plugs all year long and have the best results between 44-65. I throw shallow cranks around lay downs in the summer time and I am usually very successful I think they get put in the back of the box when plastics are common. Hammer the hook set its free! ;D

Hydrillagorilla, It is a skimmer type transducer; It does not appear to be out of whack. I will try to clear up the specific problem I am having. The graph does not show as much detail as the 332c, I have owned 2 other boats a 1986 stratos, and a 70 something waco (early bass tracker knock off kind of a redneck tracker of sorts). I have always used Lowrance products but never had one that just does not read worth a flip. I have tried the obvious manual reset etc... I have contacted lowrance and they suggest sending it in, I HAVE TO FISH!!! I also have a tournament on Lake Barkley this Saturday. Can any one give me a comparison between the two models if they own them or know some one that does? What about going to all manual settings? I don't know the book for this finder is about 200 pages and nothing seems to help it acts like it is getting some electrical noise interference. I have shut down all electrics and it still acts like a $99 deep finder. Thanks for the insight thus far. What a great site!

I just bought a Skeeter ZX225 when I came home from Iraq. The boat came rigged with a 332c (great), A 1440 flasher, And a 520c all lowrance. The problem is the 520 does not give a very good read off the bottom and fish echos / stucture. the 332 works great has anyone had any problems from a 520c and does anyone have suggestions before I send it back? Thanks a bunch!!

My first boat was very simular, I caught way more and used way less gas. its a great looking boat! ;D
