Another note to add to the 83/200 kHz notes above. 83 kHz which is a 60 degrees wide cone equals the depth in diameter. 200 kHz is 1/3rd of the depth in diameter.
Doubt that made sense..
You are in 100 feet of water.
Using 83 kHz the cone is 100 feet wide at the bottom.
Using 200 kHz the cone is 33 feet wide at the bottom.
Why I mainly use 200 kHz for everything. More exact/detail oriented. Under many/most circumstances I don't care what is 50 feet away from my bait on the bottom. He won't see it. I want to know what is 15 feet or so away from my bait on the bottom. Knowing that I might do a little jiggle, move the bait up and down in the water column to get his attention, etc. Now if I am not seeing anything and want to know if there is anything around I can go to 83 kHz for a little wider "view" of what is going on down there.
