Best Electronic On The Ice This Year.

[PurpleFloyd]

It’s been a few years since I bought my Humminbird graph. It seems like graphs are replacing the older style flashers in the marketplace but I haven’t seen what the next big thing is. Who is making the best and most innovative product on the market this year?

Is that why at Fleet Farm today I saw the whole line ups of Marcum, Hummingbird & Vexilar flashers and only 2 or 3 graph units in the Ice fishing section?

Marcum, Hummingbird & Vexilar flashers!  Vex of course!

Anything new technology that hasn’t been around for 30 years?  

 

At least Marcum added a graph on their units.

Personally I think if Marcum would just improve and update the Showdown to have 7 colors and a bit bigger screen it would be a home run. Anything to straighten out that circle to represent what’s actually happening would be a huge upgrade.

Just because you are orbicular challenged, doesn't mean the other thousands of folks they sell flashers to each year are.

They don't seem to be going away!

They aren't exactly new, but if you haven't looked at the new Aqua Vu Micro Revolution underwater cameras they are pretty slick. The reel for the camera cord is a really great feature. And the actual camera you drop down the hole is a lot smaller than the old ones that were shaped like a panfish and seem to bother the fish less.

 

Just something to look if money is burning a hole in your pocket. 

 

Also, not electronics, but the Bait Up minnow holders seem pretty slick for guys trying to be as mobile as possible.

Garmin Panoptix is the the latest and greatest.  Costs a small fortune, but it's where technology is trending.

Yeah that’s some interesting technology. I would imagine prices will come down as they are able to scale production.

Cameras are a great place to improve experience. 

 

Cuddyback sold a camera that was was really neat. It was in a housing that you could rotate 360 degrees in any direction. Slow, fast. It was great in shallow water but not when it got deeper.

Its not whether you can but rather why why should you have to? It’s kind of like AM radio. They still have it and people still listen to it but there are waaaaaay better out there. 

 

We have the ability to straighten the circle circle and make the world right again. 

 

Or, you could just be like Rick and start deleting posts for no good reason because obviously the board is overflowing with topics and participation.
