Humminbird Helix Down Imaging Settings and Images

If you have been having trouble dialing in your down imaging, this video will help you improve the quality of your images. I will share a variety of my on the water images with explanations of what you are seeing. You will also learn to interpret simulation down images using various down imaging settings. Learning to tinker with your settings will enhance image clarity. I will also share the personal settings that I use as my general starting point. Keep in mind there are no perfect settings and you have to play with the settings to match the lake conditions that you fish.

Excellent instructional, thanks for putting this out there. I find that if I'm fishing in deeper water (greater than about 60ish feet) the lower image frequencies work the best. If I'm in shallow water (less than 40 feet) the mega image frequencies provide the best images. Cheers...

[@stevechiassonfishing5876]

Thanks for sharing your kind words. Similarly for side imaging, many like 455 for wider range.

[@35Salty]

Fantastic video. Very informative. I've been trying to dial my Helix 7 3G in so I could see my bait when drop shotting. I have watched dozens of videos and tried the settings they suggested but so far I've had no luck. Are there any other factors besides settings that could prevent me from seeing my lure? Thanks for the help.

[@stevechiassonfishing5876]

Thanks for the kind words, they are much appreciated. The down imaging beam is narrow making it difficult to see your bait. You will have more success using your 2D sonar which shoots out a cone signal. The cone angle will allow you to see your bait. MegaLive is also another way to see your bait. Ice fishing you can even see your swivel above the drop shoot hook, bait, and weight falling.

Hi Steve, Great video! My question if you can answer it: I am assuming the settings adjustments for brightness, contrast, zoom, etc are just adjusting the screen display and not making any changes to the recorded sonar signals being received and recorded by the unit, is this your understanding? I believe changing the freq of the sonar does affect what is recorded. Thanks

Hi Ricardo, there is a PC Helix 12V DC Ice Flasher Accessory product code 720105-1 that is available with a cigarette lighter connector so if you have an adapter that plugs into the wall to receive the cigarette lighter connector that could work.

Make a note, take a picture , of what your settings are in simulation then check them when you switch over to normal mode and you can verify for yourself.

Thanks for sharing. I can't wrap my head around chart speed and actual speed of the boat?

General rule of thumb is to increase chart speed with your boat speed, decrease chart speed when slowing down the boat. Start with chart speed at the default setting which should be in the middle.

[@straightwhitemale5753]

I dont get the slow screen scroll. Wouldnt that screw up your image if your not going a fraction of a mile an hour tops?

[@stevechiassonfishing5876]

Generally speaking, the faster the boat speed, faster the chart speed and vice versa. Start with the setting at 5, in the middle and adjust accordingly. Mega 360 shows best images at lowest cycling speed. 2D, DI, SI use the designated chart speed.

I want to look for sunken boats and outboard motors within 400' depth is this unit good for this?

[@stevechiassonfishing5876]

I have found sunken boats most often with side imaging but never in depths of 400’ as I don’t fish waters that deep. Mega down imaging isn’t designed for 400’ depths. Using lower frequency non mega settings would give you your best chance at finding sunken boats. I have no experience at those depths so I can’t give you a definite answer.

[@stephanefraga2599]

In general, the TI units are faster in response to inputs. This is seen when quickly switching between sonar, downscan, chart, and split screens kzbin.infoUgkxeAxH15LxhjGlg5-CRYqjTGTEH0tbY4vk recommend The Hook units will show some lag on button pushes and screen switching. The big ticket item though is maps. If you install a mapping card such as Navionics or the free C-Map Genesis which has a lot of map detail, then moving around the map with the cursor or when running down the lake can lag significantly on the Hook units, but is seamless with the TI units.

It’s always better on the water to match current conditions. You can set it up off the water by putting it into simulation mode, just remember to flip back to normal mode (during start up procedures hitting menu button as per prompt from unit). During normal mode the transducer will be pinging which you can avoid by shutting sonar off and you can work on map/chart data.
