What fish can you catch with a transducer?
What is a transducer used for?
A transducer is the underwater eye of a fish finder. It sends and hears the ping; the screen is the fish finder itself.
How is a transducer different from similar gear?
The wet part, not the head unit. Mount and angle matter as much as the brand of screen.
When should you use a transducer?
Fit it before you trust a finder, and check it whenever the picture dies after a beach or a trailer bunk.
What problems does a transducer solve?
Without it the finder is a clock. With a clean mount it shows fish and bottom under the hull.
