depending on your setup, It also comes in handy when fishing without a camera to tell if your minnow is still on the hook without having to reel in.
Good call! You’d be surprised at how easy it is to see this (or at least I was when I first noticed it) on a unit with good target separation, especially in shallower water or when viewing via a zoom mode. It’s saved me a lot of time in jigging with no minnow, and in reeling up to check when my minnow was still on there.
Put a couple splitshot about four inches apart on your line, drop your line below your transducer in the water and you should see both of them individually. Keep moving the splitshot closer together until you no longer see two of them. At that point you no longer have target separation. The importance of target separation is up to the individual IMO.
I have a Vexilar flx20. I recently learned about a flasher’s target separation but didn’t get many details or why it’s so important. Someone please enlighten me.
