Being able to track your weights is prolly more about how heavy a weight you're running than what sonar you're using. I had a brand new Helix 9 a couple years ago that wouldn't pick up my weights over 50' down. Turns out that was because I was running 10# pancake weights, I switched to 14# torpedoes and can track my weights down to well over 100' with the same Helix 9. The blowback on the 10# weights was causing them to be pushed out of the sonar cone the deeper I dropped them down.
