[#0000FF]The simplest answer is to decide where and how you will be fishing the most. The shallower the water the greater angle you want on the cone...so that you see more fish. Get the narrowest cone for water over about 20'...and the widest for shallower.[/#0000FF]

[#0000FF]I think I remember hearing that the 20 degree angle cone has a "footprint" of about 1/3 the depth. So at 20 feet you have a circle of about 6 1/2 feet. And it decreases quickly as you get shallower.[/#0000FF]

[#0000FF]I have always liked the dual beam units that allowed you to toggle between two different cone angles. That allows you to fish more effectively over a wider range of depths.
