Soft/Hard Bottom using Humminbirds Red/Green color pallete

[Triton Mike]

I've been playing around some with that Red/Green SI Color palette. 

I have to tell a story first.  During a seminar I did earlier this year with Eddie Kendric with Humminbird I called him out on this Red/Green color palette.  I specifically asked him "What possessed Humminbird to come out with this god awful looking color palette.  His response was this color palette is used to decipher hard bottom from soft bottom and is unique to Humminbird.  I honestly had no idea and it makes a lot of sense to have especially if your have mussel beds or gravel beds on your home lake.  I know this feature would be great for the Walleye guys. 

First the Blue Color Palette then the Red/Green with red showing hard bottom returns.  See the mussel bed in this 1st image?

That is very cool! And very easy to read!

The Red/Green color Pallet makes it easy for anglers looking for hard bottoms like isolated Rocks or Rock Piles in the Great Lakes to Shell Beds in Fisheries or just rocks on a mainly mud bottom like. This Exclusive Feature to Humminbird helps find these areas quickly for anglers that need to find hard bottom structure.

after you switch back and forth between color palette and looking at 'normal' screen...it really helps teach the angler 'what' they're seeing in the first place.

I do a lot of this by playing back my recordings from time on the water...and playing with color palette on my computer...


now, I know this will be interesting...but I was chuckling...as a red/green color pallete might not be as useful for folks with specific kinds of color blindness...
