Sonar for toon
#2
[cool][blue][size 1]Hey, flashers work fine for 'toonin'. If you already know how to read them and are comfortable using one, then there is no need to change.[/size][/blue]

[#0000ff][size 1]The one thought I might offer is that a good sonar that has a grey scale definition of bottom contours and composition can be handy...especially if you look for breaklines and changes in bottom hardness. It will also do a better job of showing trees and other structure, which is hard to read on a flasher.[/size][/#0000ff]

[#0000ff][size 1]Some sonars also have a wider cone angle than the flashers too. That can be especially helpful in shallower water. Otherwise, you are only seeing a very small window of what is below you.[/size][/#0000ff]

[#0000ff][size 1]The big advantage of a good flasher, like the Vexilar, is that it will help you see your jig (with proper placement of the transducer) when you are vertical jigging over identified fish targets.[/size][/#0000ff]

[#0000ff][size 1]There are positives and negative of all units. But, if you like the flasher and don't want or need to buy something else, then just figure out a way to mount it on your new craft and go for it.[/size][/#0000ff]
