[QUOTE="Flatrock, post: 178328, member: 1001"] Just curious what everyone has as far as their graph setup on their boat and what views they use? Do you have 1 graph or two? How do you split your screens between traditional sonar, downscan, sidescan, mapping, etc.? I had a 7" Lowrance and then bought a 12" Helix. I had originally thought I'd use both and use the 7" for straight sonar and the 12" split for mapping and sidescan. I found out though that it gets to be too damn much to look at all the time and I would only look at the sonar and mapping. Once in awhile, I would glance over at the sidescan but that seemed to be pretty infrequent. Now I'm thinking about selling the 7" and just go with 1 unit. I can see where if a guy was trolling cranks on some big flats that it could be useful to have all that going but when you're livebaiting on structure, it just seems like too much. Again, just curious if you guys are running 1 graph or 2 and how you have your screens split up with the views. I just about always fish 2 rods and so it seems like it is just too much going on to try and fish with 2 rods, running the boat and looking at 2 graphs. And please don't turn this into a pissing match on which brand is the best! [/QUOTE]
