Hi all. I’m sure it’s been talked about on here, but I have my LS transducer mounted on a pole with the 8 degree offset bracket. Do you recommend that I get a 0 degree or is it not a big deal? I struggle a little bit with seeing my jig when casting, but that could be the settings. Thanks for any input!

0 degree isn't a big deal when mounted to a stand-a-lone pole.

Thanks. I wasn’t sure if it was adversely affecting the ability to get a good view.

Using braid line is critical .

Really? That’s an interesting idea. I’ll give it a shot. Thanks!

A lot of crappie guru's will tie on mono leader due to the braid strength. Mono will break where the braid will pull up the pile.

Thanks gborg.

You also cannot see mono on livescope,at least not on mine.

Gborg mentioned that too. I never knew that. My jig rod has 4 lbs. mono so that might be the issue. I have braid on a few other rods that I’m going to try. Thanks for the reply.

I don't worry about seeing my line, just my jig

I’d be OK with just seeing my jig too, but it seems like I only see it 25% of the time.

Fishing depths over 20 foot the 0 degree will make a huge difference. In the winter when I am in 40+Ft it is a must have. I think (correct me, haven’t done the math in a while) at 40 foot of depth your bait will be 27 inches away from true zero.

Makes sense, Cameron. Thanks.

Agree with Cameron, 0 degree mount on a separate pole makes a big difference and is highly recommended.

You must have some settings off as you should be seeing it better than that.
