DI works fine at deeper depths.  It is the SI that cant handle the deep returns.  Again....which is why folks build tow fish for the below 40 feet areas...
Unless you are looking for huge targets..

Oh I forgot to say that I fish most of the time in SALT water at 30' to 150' with no trouble. KEEP IT SLOW 1-4 kt. screen rate 3-6. Scan and Rescan and RESCAN.

Find your own WK and FISH IT.  Enjoy Roddy
