I guarantee fish can here any transducer whether they're ciscos or muskies in 3' or 35'. I have no idea though whether it has a positive or negative effect on a muskie's decision to strike or not. I have turned my transducers off many times in situations that I thought it may help and have caught fish afterwards. Might have caught them with them on anyways though.? Last summer while fishing in 95 degree whether I jumped in the lake for a swim (35' of water) and was amazed at how far the sound from the transducers traveled. I could hear the ticking as loud as day with my ears just under the surface while I was 3/4 to a full cast length away from the boat.
I wonder why the really big ones are really hard to catch!?
