Kind of off topic but the latest update from Humminbird added a "jigging" mode to several of the views that one can opt to select or not. Can't wait to give that a try. It is suppose to prioritize SI/DI/2D pings to maximize the return directly down below to help with seeing your vertical presention. At least the 898 got that update. Not sure of which ones did so far. Nothing for the 798 yet.
Quote:*Jigging Mode - this is a selection in the 2D Sonar Express Menu. It allows the user to select the sonar ping pattern for use while vertical jigging. When turned ON the ping pattern will be: 200 kHz, Left SI Beam, Right SI Beam, 83 kHz, repeat. With this mode turned OFF the ping pattern will be: 200 kHz, Left SI Beam, Right SI Beam, 83 kHz, Left SI Beam, Right SI Beam, repeat. Basically this feature prioritizes the 2D beam over the SI beam[signature]
