Tiger Shark.... Stingray.... Stingray II questions

[Anonymous]

What are the differences between these units? When did the come out? Is there a particuler one that works best in salt water? I already know they are the best in freshwater.
I have heard that the Stingray has nicer tones to it.. is that true?
Thank you

I have used the tigerShark here in New England beaches and you will be running into trouble alot with the beaches here.
Now this will vary from beach to beach depending on minerals and iron. The same will hold true for the Stingray.....as well as most non PI VLF's except for the CZ and the Minelab multi freqs.
Now if you go down south where the sand is bright and cleab then the Tiger will run just fine right down to the water.
There were alot of us that bought Tigers and Stings to use in the northeast and everyone of us had to limit them to dry salt sand or inland fresh...which they do great in.
Not trying to poop on a parade but I can tell you fro m many many hours of using one that if you plan on hunting beaches in the northeast the tesoro VLF's are not the best choice.
Now you may find some that will say they worked o.k...but I doubt it and certainly not on any beach with any amount of iron sand.
If you will be using it say around the carolinas or where nice white sand is then it works great...I know I used mine in the OBX.
Up in the drier sand here it will run fine but get down around the wet or damp and and you will have to cut sens down so much half your depth will be lost.
I have tried many...many machines along the New England coast and the ONLY ones that worked well was Sovereign or Excal and the CZ's....period. They will run anywhere and in all types of sand.
PI's will work but they also have to be watched as depending on the puls width and puls delay some will have as much fits in iron laden sand as a VLF.
In dry beach sand any unit will run mind you so that needs to be known.
Also the DFX was great in the beaches here..not quite as good as the CZ but it did not have fits and spits like other VLf's.
Best of luck.
