Is there anything out there that I can use for weight for a livescope, that will give me a brighter return so that I will have easier time seeing my bait. I have tried using a egg sinker with a swivel, double jig rig, and a split shot at times. With the water temps here in the 60-65 range with pollen everywhere in the water, right now it’s hard to see my jig, no matter what setting you are using.:Cowboy
Most guys use either double jig or egg sinker and jig. If fishing braid you can see it on livescope as well. Also one of our site sponsors has the eye hole jigs hammer heads which help forward facing sonar.

Does steel egg sinkers have a better return than lead? Wonder if painting them lead sinkers would help? Or painting them steel sinkers? Anybody out there ever tried it?
Try either moss or black emerald color scheme & adjust color limit to see if that helps any. It may clutter up the screen but can really make the jig show up bright. Some folks like blue pallet too.
Turn your Gain up (65-70) and you Color Gain even higher, (75-85) You do not want a clean screen. Might have to play with the numbers. Good Luck.
I always get color gain & color limit mixed up. lol
I understand gain, it’s like sencsativity, but I don’t understand color gain or color limit, please explain.Quote:

they are bit tricky to dial in ,some boats I ride in I can clearly see my jig and others about never :dono
The water makes a huge difference too. When the pine pollen is on it really screws up what you can and cant see.
Not sure what color limit is myself, our internet is out so working from a hotspot. I just know my color gain is always way higher then the gain and even run color gain up into the 80's. You will see lots of trash on the screen.Quote:

I keep a little writing pad in my tackle bag and write down all of the adjustments for my unit until I learn them all.Quote:
