Active Target 2 or Livescope….
- Thread starter redblood
- Start date
Livescope with the visualizer from performanve fishing electronics.We just started testing it on the active target.
Are there any available videos that show this in action?
I just bought a 2022 model boat that has 2 garmin 93s and one of the new lowrance hd16 carbons on the bow. All 3 graphs are compatible with forward faving sonar but the man didnt add the transducer yet- he opted for spot lock instead- so i guess i can pick which system to add- im leaning active target 2 because it has the nigher graph and its already mounted on bow. I watch brandon lester crappie videos and he uses active target (but i think his is 1st gen). Im sure either will be fine. Price is about the same it seems.
Danny has some videos,7314418965 is his number.We have several guides and tournament fishermen that have been using it for awhile now.Havent advertised it much becsuse we had the first ones pre sold before the release date.Supposed to get more this week,but like last time a bunch are pre sold again.Heres a pic showing 2 34 transducers with the same settings on the same trolling motor on a 16 in garmin unit.

I have been using Livescope for years.
Was out with a friend who had a 16" Lowrance with Live Target, I'll stick with livescope.

I'm skeptical of the Visualizer. Even their webpage is hesitant to make any claims about what it does.
I dont blame you for being skeptical about it.We have had a few guides and prostaff using it for awhile.Just word of mouth has sold more than we can produce at the moment.Thats the reason we arnt doing much advertising at the moment.When we get caught up with demand we will probally post more videos,etc.
Is Hayden Jeffries using one? Reason I ask is he has something figured out that everyone else is missing.Danny has some videos,7314418965 is his number.We have several guides and tournament fishermen that have been using it for awhile now.Havent advertised it much becsuse we had the first ones pre sold before the release date.Supposed to get more this week,but like last time a bunch are pre sold again.Heres a pic showing 2 34 transducers with the same settings on the same trolling motor on a 16 in garmin unit.
Not sure if hayden is or not,but thats what made danny's mind start working.A couple tournament guys have fished next to hayden and they couldnt even see a fish and haden would be wearing them out.Everyone thinks hayden is catching fish on the bottom and has a box or something that is letting him see the fish on the bottom better.The visualizer makes stuff on the bottom pop out forsure.Several tournament boat have our boxes now so i guess we will see if it helps.

What is a "Visualizer", who makes it, what units is it compatible with, and does anyone have a link to it they could post?

So what are we looking at and what is it supposed to do??Danny has some videos,7314418965 is his number.We have several guides and tournament fishermen that have been using it for awhile now.Havent advertised it much becsuse we had the first ones pre sold before the release date.Supposed to get more this week,but like last time a bunch are pre sold again.Heres a pic showing 2 34 transducers with the same settings on the same trolling motor on a 16 in garmin unit.

They are out of stock. I just got my name in the list
The biggesr thing is it gives the bottom more detail and you will see fish better on the bottom.Hayden beat everyone in the last mlf crappie style tourny by over 200lbs.They weighed in any fish a lb or bigger.Guys fished next to him wouldnt even seeing any fish.Thats why people started working on something to make livescope better.Its also clear farther out in forward mode.
so which visual is using the visualizer, top or bottom? is that pic a split screen, screen shot?

Glad I'm not the only one. With all the livescope hype, I expected to see at least fish symbols
, but at that price I would expect to see type of fish and their name tags. 
i dont think so. i looked at his setup and watched some videos and he is still using the 32. he said it took 3 transducer swaps from garmin to get one that worked the way ge wanted. he said he didnt like the 34 as it seemed like there was a lot of jnput lag that was causing him 2-3 seconds.
his settings look a lot like how jason sealock's. most folks blow out the screen with gain, this guy doesnt.
jeffries fishes and practices everday and studies fish behavior, plus he is really young. lol, once you get late 40's and 50's then usually productive competetive fising is about done.
k thanks. i was thinking the top one was the visualizer from his product description. seems like its a gain boost on the hard targets. interesting that it supposedly does this on the gls10 power cord, since a voltage boost has already been tried on 24v and does very little. running at a higher current may increase overall gain but i dont think anyone has tested it.
so in his description he said this was a drop in built jnto a new gls10 power cord. so it doesnt connect to anything else? ie the xducer adapter?
I saw a Q&A with him and they were asking him about catching fish on the bottom. He said his boat official asked him one time. So at the end of the day Hayden told him to come to the front deck and watch. He caught one right off the bottom. I think he said that was the only fish he caught off the bottom all day.
lol sounds like some of these " pros" need to take a sonar class or sompin.I saw a Q&A with him and they were asking him about catching fish on the bottom.

some of those videos that young man dont sit in one spot too long. he is moving 3 times faster than the other guys.
