Marcum Question

[loadmaster]

Have a question for other LX-7 owners. Have what I think is problem with my unit or maybe that is the way they are. Have had this happen since new in Dec. Have not seen another one on the ice to compare. I think the target is to big. Have tried every setting and combination and not much changes. The picture taken on LOW. A small Demon jig with a head only and a tiny barrel swivel. Normal or not.

Try turning the target adjust down. looks like you got it at about a 4. Mess with that and also the sensitivity.

I just picked one up a couple weeks ago. I like the flexibility, but not sure I'm sold on it yet.

I can't tell for sure on your screen shot but is that sensitivity set to 7?

That's pretty high, my LX6 is set to about 2 or 3, if you can see the barrel swivel that easy, I'd start turning down the sensitivity first until the swivel barrel disappears.

Tried all that. Had both the Sen/Target down to zero, together and single not much of a change. It seems even with a tiny jig waxie the target goes smaller but not that much. I dont think a swivel or jig should take up that much space.

I never use target id. Sensitivity on 3 normally with a 3 mm tungsten jig and plastic tail. My guess it needs an update. Should be 4.01 or similar I think.

I find that if i am in shallow water the returns are larger than in deep water. I have found that going to a 40 foot scale seems to help in some situations. Also as others have mentioned is your gain and target adjust.

I have seen this before and it ended up being a bad ducer, they are more fragile than you think.
