I`ve been ice fishing for a few years and really love it! I don`t like to rush time because it goes by too fast but, I got the bug to go! This year I will add a flasher or fishfinder to my gear. I have been researching these since last winter and get more confused with every article, post, or spec. sheet I read! Can you guys give me your honest oppinions and or recomondations? This would be helpfull in narrowing down the models I have chosen. Thanks!!

Thanks for that info PECo. I will check that out. All other knowledge and or opinions will be welcomed because I am going to invest in this pricey piece of electronics and would like to get the most bang for the buck as we all would like! Thanks again!

Hookt,

I personally use 3 types of electronics. Flasher, camera and fish finder. I have had all several years, the first being the fish finder. It is also the last one I bring with me because the camera and flasher do more for me. The flasher I have is a Hummingbird Ice 35, which is basic. I only bought it because it was all that was available a day before an icefishing tournament and I wanted to try it. Most definitely I would spend the extra cash and get the 45 or 55 or other brands that offer added features. So much a flasher can do for you, especially icefishing. Lastly, cameras are a blast. I use it once I find fish, like a school of perch. To actually watch a fish take your jig is awesome. But, if I could only have one, definitely a flasher.

thanks Ice Addict! I also have a camera, an AquaView and i love it! it makes setting up baited tip-ups just above the weeds a breeze. gotta spend the money if ya want something decent. thanks again!
