CONE ANGLE INFO
A feature unique to the MarCum LX Digital Sonars is the “Sonar Footprint” that displays the
actual area being covered by your transducer while you are fishing. This data is displayed below
the Cone Angle Icon, and represents the diameter of the base of the transducer cone. This will
keep you constantly updated how much area is being covered by your LX-9, and will help you
decide which transducer angle best suits the conditions. To switch from 20 degree to 8 degree,
simply press the CONE ANGLE button once, and the CONE ANGLE icon will change from 20
degree to 8 degree, and the Sonar Footprint will change with it.
Conditions where the narrow beam will benefit you are:
1---Fishing in deep water (over 40’) for walleyes, perch, or lake trout
2---Fishing along very steep drop-offs for bottom-hugging walleyes
3---Fishing in big schools of fish, like suspended crappies or tullibees
4---Fishing in and around heavy weeds for panfish, like bluegills and
crappies
5---Fishing in a crowd, the narrow beam will reduce interference from
your neighbor
