Vex Fl 8 se ?

[metalfish]

I fished in shallow water up to 10 feet and had alot of bottom cluter. The gain was turned down to 0. I saw on the vex site they ofer a s cable to help with this. If I get this will it hurt the deeper water spots I hit if I leave it hooked up.
Thanks

usually you can just turn your gain up and be fine.that seams what it does is just dial the gain down more than you can without it.but i have never fished 50ft with it on.

Metal the S cable is meant for ten feet or less with clutter. Think Tyler Lake off the ramp. It just plugs in line so it only takes a minute to switch it in or out as needed. I keep mine stuffed in the battery box so I have it available.

That's why I just naught the fl12 didn't want to bother with the s-cable.

Thanks for helping me understand that. I could not pass it up. Bargin cave cabelas. 200 bucks at the end off last year. But after using it I should have got a better one. We'll see let me get use to it before I bash it. Thanks All!

was their weeds down there? not for sure, but that might show up as clutter on the vex

These guys nailed it. You can leave it hooked up and just turn up the gain, but I would take it off if you are heading over 15-20 feet.

Thats a good point. There was some green blocks flashing in and out. That probally was weeds! I just learned something Thanks boxcar.
Now ? Hard or soft bottom will it always show up red? Any site online to help me understand this better?
Thanks Guys

I have the s-cable and honestly I never use it even in shallow weedy waters.
