[QUOTE="RustyTackleBox, post: 178345, member: 282"] my sonar setup - console: onix 10 (all bells and whistles) and a lowrance elite 5 (if a fish shows up on it I know it is big) Bow: onix 8 (plain jane) transducers: HB 360 side imaging, HB side imaging with chirp and down imaging, and the lowrance 2d glassed into the boat the ways I use my imaging are different for different situations. First, if I am in search mode and either have not been fishing in a couple weeks or new body of water or just exploring, I will use my side imaging across the top of my screen and my map and 2d on the bottom left and right. Second way I use it is vertical jigging and then I am either in the bow or at the console and I will use 360 on the whole left pane and a map and 2D usually but sometimes 2d and DI stacked on the right Trolling I have a few different setups, first is usually left pane or top pane is the map (depends on how the shore line orients to the boat so I can see maximum mappage) then I will run 2d and DI in the 2 small panes. that is my preference 99% of the time but there are times when I will be searching at the same time as trolling and I will use either side imaging or 360, I lean tward the 360 more because I can see a fish up ahead of the boat and slide over and catch it. things to note: side imaging is harder to read the farther out you spread it from the boat (this is where a 60" tv would be handy) also side imaging sucks in 0-8fow. 360 really shines when vertical jigging with spot lock, but it also does well shallow and you can use it for side imaging in that 2-8fow range. I don't normally use side imaging or 360 deeper than 25 fow because it seems to get harder for me to read it. as for if I was going to redo my electronics from scratch again, I would probably run my onix 8 with the 360 ducer and 2d ducer glassed in and hook it to the trolling motor so I could still use spot lock and the mapping, then I would run 2 lowrance HDS carbon units for the better side imaging and down imaging [/QUOTE]
