transducer

[perch"n"eyes]

does anyone know where i can buy a transducer for my vexilar in esky or will i have to go to marquette , i have the 9/o and when the current is real strong i cant see my lure , even with the gain cranked looking for 19/o thanks dave

drill a hole down current a few feet and throw your transducer in that hole, fish in the up current hole... I fished river channels on wisconsin river reservoirs and had to do this for crappie fishing deep water. The furthest i had to go was 6' away from my fishing hole...

Wouldn't taping/attaching the transducer cable to a rigid piece of wood or bar work? I don't have a vex (and obviously don't know much about them)...but that's how I converted my summer setup to ice fishing. Current isn't an issue with that setup.

nope, i believe the current is sweeping his bait out of the "cone" of the transducer, which is why he wants to go with a larger cone so that he can pick up the signal of the bait even though its being swept to one side.

Yoopertroll.. It's not that the transducer moves too far... his lure is moving so far with the current that the narrow angle of the transducer is losing the lure.

I like Jokerswild's idea myself.. unless your set on a different ducer.. but cant answer your question as to where to get one. Sorry

Ah, thanks. I knew I had to have it horribly wrong :) In re-reading the original post, it now makes sense.

When we fish in the narrows area we would have to go to a heavier lure just for that reason , strong current. Usually a #9 rap.
