    Question Humminbird helix 7 di drop shoting

    I can't seem to be able to get my lure to show up on the down imaging of my helix 7 di unit. Is there any settings that I can change to find my lure for drop shoting?

    I can see it on mine both on the sonar and the down imaging. Bump your sensitivity up a bit. But like stated above, 2d sonar is where you want to see it.

    I don't think I have ever seen my bait on the sonar, no matter what sonar I have. Its probably showing up, I just don't know what to look for.

    Yep, that's pretty much what I see on mine. One line for the bait and another for the weight.

    Yeah I'm not sure a Helix 7 is going to show your bait on the down imaging mode. 2d

    I can see crappie jigs on my Helix 10 DI but they have to have really been soaking to show up. I normally have 2d DI split screen with 2d on Max Mode and can see it on 2d all the time but like I said it has to have been down there for a while and right under the TM to show up on DI.
