zen801 Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Buster, Yeah check the angle and or increase the sensitivity. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netic Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 They are normally only visable when the sounder is in dual beam mode or 50hz alone....on 200hz the bomb wont always appear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildfish Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 also how deep is the bomb because when mines deep the bomb is angled right back as i only have 7lb bomb and it dissapears from the sounder! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomahawk1999 Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 On my humminbird 717 even at 60ft the 9lb bomb we use show's up no worries at 200khz. It does appear as a straight line. Try dropping your bomb on 50% sensitivity to 15 ft and slowly lower it you should be able to track it on the sounder until it disappears out of beam. Cheer's Rod.
