New Ice Fish finder.

[Walleye Express]

Just watched the In-fish Ice fishing guide show on the outdoor channel. Watched them catch some real nice late-March/pre-spawn walleyes and some very nice Pike on the ice. Also seen an advertisment for a new type fish finder for ice fishing. Take a look. http://www.showdownfishfinder.com/ I'm thinking about buying a second finder for my ice charters.

Thanks for the imput Duck, but I hope your wrong. I hate returning things.

I have seen several good reports on them out of my price range esp since I have not ice fished in over 20 years. I hope to do a bit of it this winter since we should have a good ice season but still cant afford that. I have a small handheld that does a decent job and also a Hummingbird portable so will be using those.

i have heard both good and bad about this... BUT. the new hummingbird flashers WOW if i had 600$ to throw around that is what i would get

Ditto on the $600.00. But I've needed something for my ice fishing clients to watch while they jig on the other side of the Otter Sled I use, that is much easier to read and understand then my FL-8 vexilar below. Personally, I love my Vex and won't be using anything else until she's dead. But it took me even a few trips to get the hang of how to both adjust and read it. This showdown unit seems to be so compact, easy to use and read (I hope) that the customers will pick it up fast and appreciate knowing when a fish comes in their holes, versus me telling them that there are fish in mine and to be on guard. I never have liked cameras. There needs to be some mystery and anticipation left in fishing.
