I know you say you can see the rod tips but I really think this is turbulence coming off the down rods or the line cutting through the sonar slice in the water. I have watched this for along time and to me it just doesn't match the rod depth. JMHO


Good clarification, 100% agree that it's mostly turbulence and not the rod tip itself. Line?... well that will be easy enough to figure out eh.

My unscientific test was just slowly lowering the rod into the water until it popped up on the screen, then just looked over the side to see how far the rod was in the water. Whether it was was from the turbulence, rod, or line it started between the 1-2' level.

Haha always one of the first questions asked by a new boat partner... "what's that?"
