Jeff, I’m nearly 100% sure both transducers shoot a perfect cone. I think that you are experiencing exactly why I had trouble always finding my jigs with pvc contraption/boat transducer. If it isn’t exactly perfectly level/plumb, the cone shoots oblong making an oval. Kind of like pointing a flashlight at the floor, tip it slightly and your beam elongates. In my opinion, seeing your jigs is way more important than what’s to the side. I tried even “aiming” mine by tipping and sweeping to find fish, not much success. I’m currently looking at the new technology that sidefinds- that’s going to revolutionize sonar on the ice...Panoptics Livescope. That’s a life changer and a pocketbook breaker. I’ll think I’ll be using my Lowrance and ice puck for a while.
