Allen it depends on locator and transducer. I am using a hds5 on the front but in 2d sonar mode. That's just the normal sonar picture you get from most units. I again have my unit set on auto sensitivity and depth. You might try adjusting the sensitivity on your unit and see if that helps. I will also say on a Lowrance unit the cone angle is 20 degree for the 2d, which I have to be in 10' or deeper to see my jigs. At 20 degree in 10' of water you are actually only seeing a 2' wide stretch of bottom or less. It can also depend on the angle of you transducer, is it a pick or skimmer, is it pointed straight down or maybe it has hit something and could be tilted to the side or front-backwards a bit. The deeper you go the easier it is to see the jig trail. Let us know if adjusting the sensitivity helps you.......Ranger
