[QUOTE="guywhofishes, post: 49166, member: 337"] Yep - it appears that my fears are realized - the Pro is, in fact, built a$$ backwards (and after a winter's use and all your feedback it appears it is). Normally when a guy fishes deep (30-40) he wants narrow cone (to avoid "seeing" fish that are not truly close to your lure AND to avoid your neighbor's lure, etc.). At the same time you usually will need to gain-up... to respond to the deeper lure (because it is relatively "smaller" with respect to the cone area being sensed). But the Pro does the opposite - it widens the cone when you turn up gain to see that "smaller" target lure. Alternatively, when shallow you set gain WAY DOWN and normally would want a wide cone (if not in weeds) because a wide cone captures what is just a few feet away from your lure - max. And your lure makes up a pretty big part of your cone so it reflects a nice big signal. But the Pro does the opposite and narrows itself under low gain- like it or not. ;:;banghead [/QUOTE]
