What materials show up best on 998ci HD or similar model
« on: July 18, 2024, 03:23:24 PM »
I  am lucky enough to live on a 200 acres lake and we are trying to improve the cover/ structure.

Over the years most fallen trees and  limbs have been removed and we are starting to build cover using Orange Cable company leftover pipe that has been approved by the State DNR. This pipe has a very fine piece of metal within it but I don’t know if it will show up on my humminbird.

What materials show up the best on my humminbird so us older guys can see what we put in the lake. We will be taking GPS coordinates but we want to make it easy to find for everyone.

How would small Aluminum Pie tins stapled to the pipe or aluminum foil stuffed in the pipe show up easily?

Thnx

Hard flatter surfaces will reflect Sonar better than soft rounded surfaces  ...

Tobacco sticks, slats, pallet beds, etc  ...

Local crappie guys around my lakes use plastic pipe simply because it does not show up well on imaging  ... making it more difficult for others to find  ...
