Do the FL-8s come with the 12° or the 19°?
I have the 19 degree transducer.... i was hooked after watching my friend use them for Walleye and seeing the fish come up to the bait and then seeing the tip of the rod go!!
19
So from what I gather from the info you posted, with my 10 degree transducer if I am fishing 30 feet of water I am covering a 10 foot area on the bottom?? Correct?
wow, and I thought I took my fishing seriously!! But then again, you are from the land of 10000 lakes!
I bought my first flasher (Marcum LX-3tc) last year and likewise, caught and landed my first lakers through the ice. It's amazing to see a fish come to your jig and then know that they are not interested as there is no bite. But to see them react to raising the jig to get them to strike was awsome. I would have never caught the ones I did without. I use horizontal jigs that flow a lot with the jigging action and tip them with some bait. (tube jigs with sucker meat, rubber/maribou jigs with meal worms, rat finkee tipped with meal worm). If they come to the jig and don't take it, raise it. If they follow keep going up. If they stop, drop it back down past them and then start to raise it again. The last 3 I caught, the I raised and dropped the jig ~15' at least 3 times. They finally nailed it after a minute or 2 of the game.
