ProView and Tri-Beam

[FisH_SLaYer24]

I currently have the Tri-beam transducer and I am running that on my Vexilar FL-20. However, I have been seeing the huge surge and reviews about all the people that have 'fallen' for the ProView. What depth of water does the ProView excel in? I fish all depths of the water column in search of panfish (5-40 FOW). How well does the ProView work in water less than 15 ft?

I'm not sure how it works with a fl-20 but I have a first year fl-22 that had the tri beam and until I "fell" for the proview it was the worst flashed I have ever used. I realize I have one of the early ones that had tri beam issues but seriously from day one you had to constantly play with the gain to see anything. This year I picked up one of the proviews and now it is my favorite flasher. All I fish are panfish in less than 30' and I can pick up my jig with out constantly without playing with the gain. Yesterday I was fishing a shallow lake in 6' and it worked perfect. One thing I will add though is in shallow water I find it necessary to use low power or it picks up to much clutter and you can't see anything on the screen but red blobs.

Second that on The Tribeam , I had 3 of them on My FL22 , I switched to the 12 degree and it works great , turn it on , set the gain up a little and you're good all day , never loose sight of the jig and I fish two holes and I can watch them both...
