[cool][#0000ff]Glad you discovered the enjoys of those Starvation steelies. Man, they have sure added to the experience of a whole lot of trips for us in the past couple of years. No matter how good or bad the fishing for other species you can usually rely on getting some love from the slimers.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]My Showdown is the 5.6...dual beam. It will shoot either an 8 degree or a 20 degree beam. The narrower beam is good for fishing deeper water but in shallower water the 20 degree has a bigger footprint and shows more fish. You can easily toggle back and forth by following the simple instructions. That is one of the advantages of the 5.6 over the "ice troller". Plus it has the zoom feature for closer watch on the bottom...or any middepth zone.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I have a plan to rerig my Showdown for vertical jigging from my tube this summer. Making a PVC arm (what else) with a noodle floatie on the end for hanging the ducer out away from the tube. Then I can use a short rod and drop straight down. I'm thinking it will be great for working over those perch in open water.[/#0000ff]
