    Megalive setup tips

    Got my new megalive going. Hit water today to look for crappies. Cant seem to see a 1/16 oz jig with minnow. Is this just too small of a presentation to see on a Helix 9? Played around with sensitivity and contrast all day but still no success. Any tips/advice? Thanks in advance!

    Biggest thing is learning where to cast to hit your beam. Practice with a larger bait to get the hang of it. Mega live is also a little finicky as it has a "blind" side where part of the beam is blocked by the transducer case.

    As far as settings, set sensitivity at max then use contrast to adjust for hotness on screen. I see my 1/16 ounce crappie jigs at 50-60' that way.
