hummingbird Ice 55

[Myrt]

My new Ice 55 does not pick up a thin profile Hali spoon, it will pick up a no#2 jigging rap. I'm in about 20ft and have even used zoom, is this right? How small or thin of a lure should it be able to pick up.

I have picked up tear drops at that depth before. I would call customer service. I assume you adjusted the gain up?

You turned up your gain right? Just making sure.

Are you using the support cable that came with it? If so I would first take that off than try it again. If the ducer isn't hanging perfectly level, it will hose everything up and shoot the sonar off to the side. That support cable can make it be not level.

I've had no problem with small jigs in 40FOW and still had plenty of gain to play with.

never put the cable on, it looked like more of a nuisance than helpful. without that it should hang level. Many times I use an adjacent hole, very close(2inches), and am sure that I put the transducer to the bottom of the hole. I turn gain up, but it shouldn't need to be up too far for 20ft. Only the thin Hali's am I having problems with, I'll try again soon. Just thought maybe I'm overlooking something, or if anyone else having same problem. Also unit comes from heated storage so no ice buildup on bottom.

double check that the transducer is completely plugged in on the back, it doesn't screw in like a vex...
