New Stuff is in

[smoker craft]

Just opened the cabelas order and got my lowrance ice machine and Buzz stix. The buzz stix is real neat good smooth real but the Ice machine has a few dis likes the way you mount the transducer is a little if e like it was a after thought I had not heard any reports on them so I thought I would be the genie pig. The reason I bought, lowrance said it would work to -4 god lets hope it will be warmer than that in the new frabill this season.

Smoker craft, make sure you keep us all updated on how the ice machine works. Did you get the one with the gps? See ya and good luck with the new toys!

yeah, I too am interested in the lowrance. Will probably never use one since I have a vex fl-18, but still wondered how good it was. Figured it would be a good machine...lowrance is good stuff. Also, you know you can buy a vex-type transducer float for just a couple of bucks so you dont have to use that arm.

thanks goodyy that a good idea the arm is good but the little wire they give you to hold it wont fit in the bag one more thing to loose.

Yeah, I took the little arm off my vex soft pack and dont regret it one bit....only got in the way for the most part. Just put an ultralight pflueger trion on my buzz stick....all I need now is some ice!!!

Hey smoker craft.

How's that ice machine working? Sure looks intriguing, but would like to hear some reports. How does it work when used next to other flashers? Have you tried it in shallow water? Anything else I should know about it? Would you chose it again over a vex? Thanks a ton.

Well guys sorry about the lack of info. I have been way to busy. The ice machine works well and the transducer mount I thought was goofy works well after I figured it out. I do not know your plans but the marcum unit looks good al so.
