Location: Lafayette, IN | Every transducer "ticks". Depending on the mounting location and the hull properties of the boat the sound will be more or less detectable. Many anglers will turn the finders off if they want to be more stealthy as they approach a full casting distance from their target. It's debatable whether this makes a difference because of the many sounds that exist naturally in a fish's enviroment. I'd say it can't hurt. But, every transducer makes this noise to the fish's ear (lateral line). No need to worry. |
