How to use module Probe Structure Scan Lowrance for Fishing

In this article we will explain the advantages of the new Lowrance Structure Scan technology. A technology already integrated in the Lowrance Touch (touch) devices, or in the HDS range by adding the probe module. The module Structure Scan Scan Lowrance offers a combination of lateral sampling (SideScan) and a new and exclusive bottom sampling (DownScan Imaging Technology) that allows fishers to observe for the first time on screen, and in detail, what is submerged under their boats providing a complete and easy to interpret image.

What does the Lowrance Structure Scan show?

This is the sweep shown by the Lowrance probe module, which had always been two different technologies, Side Scan and Down Scan, with the Structure Scan Lowrance becomes a single and higher definition.

Once we understand the origin of the StructureScan Lowrance, we will learn more about this technology, which also allows the integration of different views thanks to the possibility of dividing the screen according to the needs of the user, offering the highest definition we have ever seen. an apparatus of these characteristics. According to Lowrance, this probe module provides clear images in crystal clear waters, both in inland and marine waters, shallow, with speeds no higher than 30 mph. That is, you can get a real 180 ° view under your boat. These high frequency images offer a real representation of the water column, the bottom and the structures. You can observe the fish, rocks and wrecks with total clarity.

180º scanning of the Scan Scan Lowrance

As we can see in the image, the Structure Scan Lowrance makes a 180º sweep, seen from our boat, the image is interpreted by drawing a line just from the keel of the boat, where we will see the port and starboard side. The representation made by the probe module is the division of both sides so that the column of water and the description of the flat bottom below it can be easily seen in black.

The best technology to fish

As we observe in the image, we have the screen divided in two, the margin on the left we have the Structure Scan (SideScan) and in the margin on the right we have the technology (DownScan). Both with depth scale to better interpret the background. Undoubtedly with this perspective we can see in detail the type of image and its reproduction. The arrow, in this case blue, tells us the direction of the image step. In both representations we can see the schools of fish and the type of bottom we find.

The differences with a conventional technology

It is necessary to understand that the technology of the conventional probe, as we know it, the reading is done from left to right, on the other hand the Structure Scan Lowrance performs the reading from top to bottom.

The utility of this one is that the Sranceut Scan Scan Lowrance can make a sweep of up to 120 meters which when connected to the GPS, we can obtain in coordinates of the stones that we want to remember and the best points to fish. We can always go back to the place where we polled. We can stop the image and with just moving the cursor we can create a waypoint and navigate towards it whenever we want. The Structure Scan Lowrance calculates distances and depths, information that is also shared directly with your GPS Plotter Probe.
