Settings tips for fresh water anyone?

[mattysiam]

Hi All,

Have a CTX which is out of action right now, so I’m using the Mrs’s Equinox 800. To make a change from beaches, I’ve started having a crack at waterfalls, and the water down stream. Can’t find any info re settings for waterfalls, so would be grateful if anyone here has any mode / settings tips please for fresh water, with rocky areas, sand and gravel too.

So far 10 rings in two outings, way better than my beach ratio.

Thai is in advance

treat freshwater hunting the same as land hunting.

I don't think there are any magic settings for it but I found myself liking the Park 1 base setting, then bumping the iron bias up to around 2, then backing my sensitivity down to no higher than 15.

The problem I was running into was small split shot sinkers, and micro pieces of junk that would fall through my scoop. So I backed the sensitivity down to help with that. In the river in most cases you aren't using a scoop anyway but the same thing would apply to not wanting to waste time chasing after micro junk.

For white water, I think you are supposed to use a White's detector.

Turn the machine on and off three times within 3 minutes and click your heels twice. This enables the hidden freshwater settings, lol!:
