Thanks for the vid it helped a bit but i guess that's all we have to work with. Spoke with a garmin rep and basically said you have to play with the settings too one thing i noticed is that if you take the forward view only out to 10ft range and adjust the settings it looks good but whats the point in only looking out 10 ft lol

i guess not a lot op ppl with the live scope ... :(

Hi, i always found this forum to be the best help so here it goes. I purchase a garmin live scope bundle with a 95SV unit. Evey thing works well awesome tech but i noticed one thing. When in Live scope forward view (when used on the ice) i see a lot of interference between the 0 and 5-10ft mark. Its not your typical interference but big arches that start at the bottom and arc forward and 3 distinct ones every time i use the forward view and at the the bottom where they start it is always cluttered and hard to see i play with the Gain and it does go away but then it would have to decrease it to a point where i cant even see fish. anyone have the same issues? Note; you see it less with different screen colors like amber but it is still there. Thanks,

The manual I think was referring to the cameras on the boat (their own onboard one ) and not underwater ones, but I don't know the 3rd party ones are compatible. I went to the raymerine forums but I can't activate an account to post the question. So I was hoping someone would know. Thanks

Easy question if anyone can help, I got a Raymarine Axiom 9 (not pro) and was looking to see is there a way to connect an Aqua Vu to it? if so the How? looking to use the fish finder screen as the screen for the underwater camera if possible. Thanks,

Just wondering is there any high quality 2 pcs rod by any chance?

Angry John - thanks i know absolutely nothing about the JPN market, but i am not gonna lie their stuff looks really sexy!!! .. it fits the category of unique and quality. THANKS FOR MAKING THINGS HARDER!!! LOL Yudo1 - i think your right you cant really go wrong whit the higher end stuff its just a matter of preference, it sounds like. roadwarrior - the custom market i dont know anything about and i feel if i go that route i may end up biting off more then i can chew and i have not ides how the custom stuff holds up against the tried and tested rods. i guess there are more options and things to think about then i though.

DBL000006 - Thanks for the input, i am not a fan of any brand yet so definitely open to options, but i guess there are not a lot of abu garcia fans here lol offsidewing - maybe i should be like you and just click check out and roll with the punches, but its hard to fight the tested setups but also i like being unique and having something different (geez i sound like a girl picking out an outfit for the night) lmbfisherman - you da man ... i have now fallen in love with you. Natural Sports does have it and my buddy runs the smokes at Waterloo so he may be able to help in picking it up. now i am back up to having options for rods but i think the consensus is MH F or XF would work well. would M work or no? ... so i guess only issue is to find that exact setup so time to make some phone calls.

new2BC4bass - buyers remorse!!! i hate that feeling!! lol offsidewing - thanks for the insight in the Steez, it seems like he is the new kid on the block and not much people use it, but it sounds like the Shimano reels have more love. so it may be a matter of try the new kid or stick with what works well. i do need to try them out live to get a good feel for them. That may be the deal breaker. bigfruits - big kick in the ..... no one here in Toronto has NRX ... i was starting to fall in love only to have my heart torn out. Anyone know any Canadian retailers that my have it? though i did find the St Croix Legend Elite so i may have to go that route.

LOL to be honest, you ever get that feeling where "I wish i bought something better" i hate that feeling so that the reason for the high budget. I know others have like 4-5 or even 10 set ups taken on a boat but i tend to go with 3-4 ppl on a boat and usually dont have that much space to have that many set ups. So in the end i want 2 really good setups that will do the job and last me a longtime. Bigfruits - Thanks for the advise, i dont know anything about custom so i would probably stick to something i can buy, unless you can point me in the right direction, Note i am in Canada so supply is limited. thanks for the suggestions do you know the difference between the Aldebaran and Metanium? Thanks,

The season is coming up again and this time around i am looking to purchase a casting setup. I purchased my spinning setup with the amazing help of the people here so maybe you guys can help me with a casting setup as well. I normally fish only plastics and jigs so having something centered around that would be preferred but not necessary. my budget for rod and reel is about $1000.00 So far i been looking at Abu Garcia® Revo® MGXtreme® Low Profile - considering it due to weight and i have smaller hands so my feel better Daiwa Steez SV TWS Baitcast Reel - I like the sound of the new T wing tech Shimano Metanium MGL - a lot of people recommended As for rod i been looking at the St Croix legend and the G. Loomis GLX, but i need to do more research on the rods. So far i am thinking 7ft with Heavy fast or Med heavy Fast. I am open to any recommendations. Thanks,

I just wanted to say TY to all that helped. I took my finder on the lake this past weekend and i was able to make it all work out perfectly. could not really see the arches due to the abundance of weeds but the Fish id helped a bit in that category So thanks again to this great forum whit great people

Thanks you are awesome!

thanks for all the help.... i just factory reset everything and played around whit the unit in sim mode so will have to test again out on the lake ... to update on the humming bird site can i register my brothers unit if he registered for it already?

i am sure its the DI combo .... because i do not recall a 83khz option the weird part is i swear i saw a 800khz option for 2d sonar (3 options) unless i am completely dreaming. Question though - there is a 455khz sensitivity setting ... does playing with this do anything?
