OPERATION
Weed Mode
The Weed Mode option can be used in any situation where you want
to sharpen individual target separation. Most often this occurs in
thick weeds where you want to avoid seeing the weed stalks as blobs
so you can see the lure moving inside a tall weed bed. It also is helpful
when you are fishing in schools of panfish or balls of shad.
To activate this feature, you need to be in the Normal Mode setting
with the gain set to zero. Turn the unit ON while holding down the
Gain Control. Once turned on, all features of your FLX-28 will work
normally, but you will notice the signals on the display are slightly
weaker. You may need to increase the gain level. It’s possible to use
Weed Mode when you’re in the Low Power Mode. However, you still
need to go through the Weed Mode process first.
From a technical standpoint, the unit sends a shorter transmit burst
in Weed Mode which requires more sensitivity from the receiver.
This is why you need to turn up the gain. The limitations of this
technology make it suitable for use in 30 feet of water or less and
in an area where sonar from other anglers is not present since the
higher gain setting will be more sensitive to interference. When you
turn the unit off, it will reset back to Normal Mode.
LP Mode & Open Water Use
In Low Power Mode accurate digital depth readings cannot be
maintained, so the Digital Depth display is disabled. Additionally,
Auto Ranging may be inconsistent. Because the Auto Range
technology was designed specifically for an ice fishing environment,
it is recommended to use Manual Range settings for open water use.
Note that while in a Manual Range setting, the digital depth readout
will only display up to 50 feet. If you lose the digital depth reading of
bottom in an area known to be less than 50 feet deep, or the digital
depth reading does not seem to match the flasher signal, these factors
may come into play:
1. Very soft bottom
2. Too many fish (depth readings will jump to the
fish and back to bottom as fish pass)
3. Too much vegetation
4. Actual depth may be deeper than the current
range selected (shift to 50 foot manual range)
NOTE: When fishing in very shallow water, you will see that the
FLX-28 will not register a digital depth readout when you are
in waters shallower than 3 feet.
