Alton Jones Jr: Choosing the Right New LiveScope — LVS42HD vs LVS44

Which new LiveScope transducer should you buy—and could choosing the wrong one cost you bass? Alton Jones Jr. shares three days of on-water testing with the Garmin LVS42HD and LVS44, including where each transducer shines, what changes from the LVS34, and which model makes the most sense for most bass anglers. You’ll also learn how Alton uses Perspective Mode, screen size, gain and filtering, multiple-transducer setups, and the Garmin Spy Pole to see more fish and make more efficient casts. Then he breaks down the Free Rig system he uses when pressured bass ignore minnows, drop shots, jigs, and other common presentations. What you’ll learn: • Why the LVS44 is the better all-around choice for most bass anglers • Where the LVS42HD’s close-range detail and target separation matter most • How far each transducer can clearly show fish, bait, timber, and bottom cover • Why Perspective Mode helps identify fish and locate overlooked structure • Gain, ghost reject, noise reject, and screen-size adjustments that improve visibility • The best one-, two-, and three-transducer LiveScope configurations • How the Garmin Spy Pole improves boat and transducer control in wind and current • The Free Rig setup: 3/8-ounce weight, 17–20-pound line, total-slack fall, and alternate casting angles Guest: Alton Jones Jr. — Bass Pro Tour champion with more than $1.5 million in career earnings; one of the sport’s most accomplished forward-facing sonar anglers.
