Bottom Following
The
Bottom-Following
mode is designed to
help you fish consistently near the bottom. This
mode of operation requires:
1) A downrigger configured as a
Master
unit
(see programming instructions)
2) optional sonar transducer attached to your
Master
downrigger and mounted
according to the instructions in this
manual.
3) if you have more than one downrigger and
you wish to
bottom follow
with all your
downriggers, they must be configured as
Slave
units and
chained
to the
Master
unit using the optional interface cable(s).
In
the
bottom following
mode, the Digi-Troll IV
maintains the weight at a fixed distance above
the bottom. In order to avoid continuous weight
adjustments due to minor changes in bottom
depth and boat motion caused by wave action,
you have the ability to adjust the responsiveness
of the weight. You can also define the maximum
depth that you wish the weight to go to,
regardless of the bottom depth.
Caution
:
You must ensure that the distance above the
bottom is great enough to keep the weight from
becoming tangled in the weeds, etc.
Cycling
Using
the
Cycling
mode, you can fish a depth
band
where fish may hover under certain
conditions. An example is a band where the fish
seek the most suitable temperature. All
parameters are programmable by the user.
Caution:
In order to keep the weight from touching the
bottom, make sure that the bottom is well
below the band that you have selected.
