My unit is a Lowrance Elite 5 DSI (DI only) ... but, I don't miss the 2d imagery, even though that's all I've ever used (from the early 1970's until a few years ago, when I got the E5DSI).Quote:

OK that makes sense. My FF is a Lowrance Elite 4 Chirp(2d/DI) set up in my 14' yak. I have the transducer mounted in the front and I sit in the back. The idea being I see something on screen and by the time I come to a stop, I should be close with just 1-2 back strokes. I have been using a light weighted line to drag for structure on each side and if none found then fish straight down.
WHEN U SEE THE THICKEST AND HIGHEST SPOT ON UNIT U R RIGHT OVER IT.DROP JIG DOWN AND WATCH IT GO TO TOP OF BRUSH AND GET READY,NO NEED TO DRAG A BAIT AROUND
The new DI and SI are great, but work best when moving as a result of the thin beam. I still believe 2d has it's place. Just my $0.02
Agreed. We use 2d probably 90% of the time when trolling motor is in use.Quote:
