“Ultimately, the best way to learn how to adjust sensitivity is to get out on your boat and use it. “A little bit goes a long way in auto mode,” DeVos says. Start with the sensitivity level preset in the auto mode, then slightly increase or decrease gain to see if the reading improves. “Auto gain works really well,” he points out. “You might want to repeat this process whenever the water depth or target species changes,” Bradburn advises.Īdjustments can also be made in auto mode, but the starting point is different, says David DeVos, senior regional sales manager for Garmin. The idea is to reach a happy medium between too much and too little sensitivity. Start by turning off the clutter mode and turning up the sensitivity to the maximum (which will likely black out the screen), then slowly, gradually turn it down to clean up the display but still see targets, including fish and the bottom. As you turn down the sensitivity, it filters more of the returns.īradburn offers a method for fine-tuning sensitivity when auto mode is off. As you turn up the sensitivity, it filters fewer echoes. Sensitivity has nothing to do with power, but rather serves to filter the returns like the squelch function on a VHF. There is no external sonar box required for installation, allowing for the connection of optional sonar source like MEGA 360 Imaging or Built-in MEGA Imaging to the same control head. “You can almost always get a better fish finder reading by tweaking the sensitivity settings, even when it’s in auto mode,” says Steve Bradburn, fisheries and specialties product manager for Furuno USA marine electronics. Connect MEGA Live Imaging to compatible Humminbird models via the included Ethernet cable. Mega Live Imaging won the Best Electronics category at the 2021 ICAST fishing-tackle industry trade show held in Orlando, Florida, in July.Īdjusting the sensitivity (aka gain) of a fish finder is a lost art because many fish finders today boast automatic functions that grant almost hands-off operation. The Mega Live Imaging on the MFD touchscreen also lets you mark and save waypoints to return to the spot later. On some occasions, you can even watch a fish strike your lure. Bait schools, gamefish and even your lure zoom across the screen. It scans whichever way you turn the trolling motor. It provides clarity throughout the entire view, with no gaps in coverage. Choose between Down, Forward or Landscape. You can adjust Mega Live Imaging to one of three modes by manually twisting the transducer. For optimal performance, the MEGA Live Imaging transducer is designed to be paired with a Minn Kota Ultrex. MEGA Live Imaging transducers are compatible with all APEX and SOLIX models, as well as HELIX 8-15 G3N / G4N models with MEGA Imaging. Mega Live Imaging is compatible with all Humminbird Apex and Solix MFD models, as well as Humminbird’s Helix G3N (8- through 12-inch models) and Helix G4N (7- through 15-inch models) Mega SI or Mega DI. Humminbird’s new MEGA Live Imaging retails for 1,499.99 and will begin shipping September 2021. No transom-mount transducer is currently available for Mega Live Imaging, though transom-mount and trolling-motor transducers are available for the Garmin Panoptix LiveScope and Lowrance ActiveTarget live-imaging systems. You connect the supplied Ethernet and power cable to a compatible Humminbird multifunction display with no need for a black-box module. Mega Live Imaging employs an optional transducer that mounts to the shaft of a trolling motor. With fish and structure appearing in real time, anglers can watch fish onscreen as they move about. Humminbird’s Mega Live Imaging delivers clarity that’s reminiscent of medical ultrasounds.
The latest to join this revolution is Humminbird. Today, however, a new breed of fish finder from brands such as Garmin and Lowrance eliminates the time delay, depicting the underwater world in real time. For decades, anglers relied on fish finders with an inherent time delay.
