Anyone use a Lowrance green box for ice fishing?

[Northtwin]

I came upon a Lowrance green box in my garage and I was wondering if anyone uses them on the ice. I imagine it would burn through lantern batteries but I'm sure I could rig it to a vex battery. I already have 2 vexilars and am wondering if it is worth messing with.

yes I used one for many years I rigged it up to plug in to a cig lighter on a booster pack it worked great not near as good as a newer flasher but good enough,when I was able to get a new flasher I gave it away here on fm

Funny, I saw one in the back of a pickup on my way to scout a couple of lakes this afternoon. They sure bring back some good memories of fishing with my grandpa. When I was younger I couldn't understand what my grandpa was describing as far as bottom, lure, fish. I finally caught many years later when I purchased and FL-8!

Used one for years in the late 70s and early 80s.

Better than nothing that's for sure.

They will tell you depth but thats about it. Not very good for ice.

I used mine for ice and I could adjust it to see my jig and fish,it was no vex or marcum by any means but still put me on fish,I made a ducer holder out of a 1 inch X 1/8th inch flat steel

I have one I got from mom when dad passed away a few years back. I remember using it when I was a kid and it's no FL-20 but I could see my jig and fish on it. At the time, before the FL-8, it worked better than nothing.

It will be useless if you use it next to other flashers because it can't knock out the interference. I have one and tried it for ice fishing, then put on the shelf and haven't used it since. Just doesn't work well enough to mess with.

it works well enough when one can't afford a vex
