Marcum LX3tc or Humminbird Ice 35

I am looking at buying one of these two models. What one do you guys like and why do you like it?

use the search function and you will find a TON of info on both of these flashers... this question has been asked numerous times in the past... basically what your going to get is a few honest reviews of both, and then a BUNCH of guys telling you what one they have and how awesome it is

Does the H35 have zoom? That's a nice feature to have, I know the Lx3 does, just not sure about the H35.

H35 looks better with it's flat face, for whatever that is worth to ya.

Pretty sure you will be happy with either purchase.

JW nailed it though. Too many biased reviews. I own the Lx3 and have been thrilled with it's performance, but I'm sure any H35 owner would say the same thing. All the flashers on the market seem to be quality products...go look at em in the store and see what little things you like best over the other. It's usually the little things that make the difference.

yes the 35 has adjustable zoom, anywhere in the water column.

i have a humminbird ice 35 and i won't say it is better than the LX3, because I honestly don't know. I have never used a LX3, so I can't give an honest answer on which one is better. All I can say is I have been extremely happy about my flasher since I bought it at the ice show last year.

I have an older model Lx3 that I had updated and I am happy with it. I purchased a magnifying face plate for it and am looking forward to using it again this ice season. The unit has treated me well----actually I've been telling people for the last few years -----if you don't have a flasher don't even bother going out. If you don't have one its like fishing in a empty bath tub. The flasher lets you know if there is any activity down there.

I own the Humminbird 35 and I have no regrets about buying it. The adjustable zoom is so nice plus the dual frequency transducer. I find the fish with the wide angle and then use the narrow angle to target specific fish.

Boh are very nice units. I have used them both. The birds flat screen is a nice option. Both have adjustable zoom in capability. The nod for crispness and clearity I think goes to the Marcum with the true color.

Oh and I think the bird has the option of using different color schemes.

Either way go to a big store that has them all and check them out and see what you like best at whatever price range your in. What many on here may like you may not.

I got the Hbird 55 and liked it so much I sold my LX-3

Was it in LX3 or a LX3tc? The former wouldn't really be a fair comparison.
