I can use my marcum LX6 in 80ft with the 20deg setting on and mark panfish jigs. I switch back and forth between the 20deg and 9deg settings because of the circumference of bottom area shown at that depth. If there are not a lot of fish around, I use the 20deg to see whats in the area. If Im on a school of perch, I switch to the 9deg to know if something is close to my jig
