misfish Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 Yup,after watching Terry now for two years playing video games while ice fishing,I figured it was time for me to get with it. Company bonus made my choice easy. The bag matches my new Ice Armour suit as well. Got to look good when yer out there. It was the last unit they had. Lucky me. The two small cases are a nice bonus. Hey Terry,MORE POCKETS.HAHAHAHA Can wait to use it this weekend. It came complete. Bag,ice ducer,battery and charger. $249 after $50 dollar rebate. LETS GO FISHING.

steelhedrmatt Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 Great unit for the ice the elite 4. I sold my portable unit. Have to figure out how to make my hds8 portable. I use the same unit as portable. I bought the ice ducer at radioworld, and used a hard sided coleman cooler bag with a zipper top. Fits the unit, ducer, and 2 batteries. I also bought an extra skimmer transducer with suction cup, to make it a summer portable pack for when we do our yearly fly-in. Works great, and a lot cheaper than buying the lowrance portable pack.

Salmonidstalker Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 Brian, Ive heard from sales reps that this particular finder doesn't pick up much past 80 fow as an fyi. That has been the only complaint. Something to think about....and maybe a report of how it works in your opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickme Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 congrats!! Love my Lowrance and Ice pack. I would recommend that you take a few videos' of the screen as you'll go through withdrawal during the days you can't go out and when the ice gets thin in spring.

Steel28 Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 Nice choice Misfish. I had Marcums (LX-3/LX-5, Vex FL 18) and moved to Lawrence x67c and now to Elite 4x. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickme Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 best tip for finding your lure in deep water with a Lowrance is to Feather the lure down until you see it on the screen. This way you can keep the lure in the cone. You can not just flip the bail wait for it to hit the bottom and think it will show up. If you do that and you want to kick your lowrance to the curb I will be happy to take it off your hands for $100 PM me if you want my set up doc for my X67 Misfish. Most Lowrance's work the same.
