Transducer clicks
I wonder if the clicking affects bass, especially on water that they
haven't or rarely hear it?
I am going to try my FF in a pond that I know has not had anyone running
a FF in.
Those clicks are noticable.
Does anyone know of any articles regarding transducer clicking and if it
affects bass?
I doubt if there is anything out there but I am curious. |

| A quick Google search came up with a
couple people asking the same questions, but I didn't see any difinitive
answer. There were a couple long papers in PDF format that may have had
some additional info... but they were rather long, and the pertinent data
wasn't immediately apparent.

| I've gone right over the top of bass with two locators running and gotten
them to bite, in less than two feet of water. Personally, I don't think it
does have an effect. But I do know some guys that turn their locators off
"just in case", while they're fishing shallow water. |

| Not that I am anybody, by any stretch, but I agree with your assessment. I
use mine in shallow water all the time, with no noticable affect on the
fish. Some "white" papers that I've seen on it agree that either the bass
cannot "hear" it, or they can "hear" it and simply aren't bothered by it.
Given the noise that a basic Rat-L-Trap gives off, and fish bite them with
great regularity around here, I'd say that I agree. Doesn't seem that
rattling or clicking seem to bother them at all. YMMV. |

| I'm pretty sure I remember an In-Fish piece 8 or 10 years back in which
it was among the subjects that Doug Hannon was concerned about. I
generally turn mine off when I'm flipping in the pads (but not in the
nut or matted over milfoil -- strange quirk on my part, I guess). |

| Mine goes off in10 feet or less of water unless I am searching. My front is
not nearly as noisey as my dash mount. Front Lowrance 45 back Lowrance LMS
