DRIFTER_016 Posted July 25, 2011 Report Posted July 25, 2011 Just when I thought I was done spending $$ on big ticket items for my ice fishing obsession this comes along.
Uncle Buck Posted July 25, 2011 Report Posted July 25, 2011 Sweet... anyone want to buy my LX5 and FL20?
mercman Posted July 25, 2011 Report Posted July 25, 2011 THAT is awesome. Do you think it will be the future for all Sonar units? The price would drop if it did.
mike rousseau Posted July 25, 2011 Report Posted July 25, 2011 Why did you have to show me that.... Damn toys!!!!!
Terry Posted July 25, 2011 Report Posted July 25, 2011 I see nothing over my HDS5..except on screen showing how far your signal goes out on bottom the only real-time color LCD sonar unit ..bull what modern unit isn't real time on mine when I lift my jig it goes up the very nanosecond I start to lift it and same going down...can get more real time then that it's a nice unit but I don't like flashers
johnnyb Posted July 25, 2011 Report Posted July 25, 2011 That's why I love fishing with Terry....he has all the necessary hardware....including a timer that measures to the nanosecond

Fisherman Posted July 26, 2011 Report Posted July 26, 2011 Strange, nobody standing around this guy, I think it's the smell he's exuding, Called Eau de full of ______. I'm with Terry on this one.
landry Posted July 26, 2011 Report Posted July 26, 2011 Terry is right - I use my elite 5 unit and compared to my buddies Marcum, I think it is better. Real-time, picks up jig well, and I put it back on the boat in March:) I love watching that gradual ski-slope line as the fish move up towards my jig from the bottom.
canadadude Posted July 26, 2011 Report Posted July 26, 2011 (edited) Wow, I gotta say this is one sweet unit, it covers all the bases, Flasher mode, chart mode or a colum type unit. This unit can be used as either type or a combination of the three, it's not just a flasher,it has all the bells and whistles anyone could ask for. A great unit for the high tech fishers who like to play with there electronics. The only things I don't like is the tranducer arm set-up, a floater is 100x better and easier, and I hate the interference that Marcum units give off, other then that it is one impressive machine.

I don't notice any interference, but then again I have an LX-5 Maybe if I had one of those VEX things I would have a problem with it. The issue is caused by the high power of the Marcum units. More power=better target separation.
