[QUOTE="Hawgeye, post: 70782, member: 2041"] Captain Ahab, 2 1/2" vs 1/4"...seriously?! When I zoom in, set my color line to the correct setting, I can see variation in colors at the bottom and below the bottom, not to mention fish that are stacked...I get multiple yellow streaks indicating multiple fish. The bottom will change from solid red to broken red/ yellow when on the bottom or outside edge of the cone angle.

If you want to catch fish that require 1/4" separation, keep using your vex.. As I said, I was not bashing a vex...overpriced but still one of the best ice fishing tools around..... I will use my graph vs. a vex all day long and I guarantee you won't see more fish, identify them better or get a clearer identity of quantity etc...if you have the gain, zoom, color line, clarity and noise rejection set correctly, you can see multiple fish, see fish when they are lying on the bottom etc....
