Handheld depthfinder for ice

[Ausable Junkie]

Anyone have one of these? http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=4339329


I've used one of the blue ones made by Polarice.
It works fine but sells for $119 in think. The Hawkeye costs quite a bit less
but if its junk then its no bargain. I've seen another company thats put one
of these out. It kinda looks like this one. I think it sold for around $100.

I've Used The Blue One, It Works Great!
As For The Other One To Me Appears To Be The Same Company But Different Name.? Bass Pro Sells The Blue One For 100.00$

I have the Marcum LX-i which sells for $120. It works great and saves you time drilling holes.

buy a vexilar fl-8 slt on ebay for $150. it will do the same thing plus you will have a great fish finder.

i didnt know the vex's could shoot thru ice. I will prolly get one or something
similar to it seeing its a dual purpose machine. Thanks for the info.

I use the LX-i. It has the read out on the end so you can read it when you set it on the ice. I have shot through 2ft of ice no problem. Just put some water on the ice or I have a hand held torch(used for solder pipes) that I use to melt the ice so I don't have to worry about water freezing.

It's less of a disaster to forget the beer than to forget the hand held sonar. Must have for tip up fishing. I bought the Vex hand held (can't remember the model #). I bought mine as a reconditioned unit right off Vex's website. Seems it was around $75. Works great.
