Nice pictures----- so the ping-pong ball is basically the same color as the fish with a red center?

Ping pong ball is used to simulate a small fish's air bladder.

Let's see DI shots of above!

ok, I can do that next time I test.i didn't try di this time but will next time.i didn't want to spend a lot of time today.it was cold and windy and I wanted to get some fishing in before I got to cold.i might try some extra ping pong balls later to.just to simulate a school of small fish.

Interesting Kosmo for sure.

When I jig in brush for Crappie I use two 1/32 oz jigs with a 1/4 split shot between them. I can easily see all three items on the 2d and on the DI (they are just specks). I would guess they are about 6-8 inches apart, maybe just a touch more sometimes. I just can't see where spending several hundred more dollars would help me any.

I found some old SI/2d images from my 997 on the computer. I honestly think the Si images are just as good when compared to the HB core units of today (8XX and 9XX). The 2d back then was exceptional.

I may be wrong but I'm thinking manufactures have about reached the limits of Si/Di that is any kind of affordable to recreational users. If this is the case I figure "chirp" will be the "next best thing" to keep sales going.

I bet you can get better images, based on your posts of old

I get better with the Onix mainly due to the dedicated Di and the screen resolution.

I was going to post the 997 images on the BBC but I can't remember where they were on the computer. I will run across them again some day and post them.
