I have used one for 4 years now. In open water I will have it along in the boat. When I find a rock pile or transition in a spot that I know can be fished through the ice i will mark it. Come ice in I now have waypoints to walk or drive to. I dont even have the ice transdeucer. The suction cup can be removed and the angle of the deucer adjusted so it hangs parallel to bottom. Works far better than it should. The flasher function also works well but you need to have a jigging rap or heavy jig tied on, something like a slender spoon is too small of a profile to see. Have not been able to justify replacing this unit with a dedicated flasher. Just to versatile

$5000-$250 = $4750 left over for “Perch Powder”. Jimmy can I get a ton?

If you're going to get a $250 sonar, get the GARMIN STRIKER 4. Inexpensive, works great for ice fish and also can be used for open water fishing!

Awesome comparison Jay! So cool to see the behavior of the fish.

You nailed it Jay, I love my livescope for finding fish and reacting to their behaviour with the presentation. But the biggest unintended result was learning so much about fish behaviour. Makes me a better fisherman even if I am using the Helix.

I have both. The deeper, marcum lx6 and also the garmin livescope. I use both of them also. I don’t fish as much as I used too but having the garmin is a game changer. You can finally see the fish and everything. Even if you’re just fishing for fun it’s nice to have if you can afford it. The best part about having the livescope is you can use it both in hard and open water which makes it worth it also.

Been waiting for a video like this!

For $240 US you can buy the Garmin Striker 4 portable kit with their ice transducer. The regular portable kit with a tradition ducer for open water use (that works under the ice too in a pinch) is on sale right now for $180. And I'd say it's superior to anything else under $300. Be interested to see what you think.

Thanks for putting out this video. I currently run the Deeper as well as an older lowrance ice unit.. with the Deeper I run it on my 8-in tablet. Or should I say both of my older kids run the electronics and I'm usually out just dead sticking.. if anything I probably will purchase a Helix next for myself and let let the kids just have the other two. Although it's like they own them already because I never get to use them when I take them with me..🤣

Good review! Just wondering if depth of the ice affects the sonar ball. I have one and never thought to use it as I thought the ice thickness would restrict it's ability to pick up anything that wasn't directly below the hole. Good for depth marking if anything.

This thing is frickin awesome! Ounce I turned this unit on an saw all the gizmos it has, I said sweet baby Jesus, honey get out the frying pan cuz this things going to catch us a whole lot of good eatin!!!

I use a Garmin Striker 4 for ice fishing. Picked up on sale for $95. Originally got it for my kayak but have since used it for ice fishing. Battery lasts all weekend on a 8ah, it's light weight, It has a 16 degree cone, traditional graph or flasher style. The only downside is it takes a little technique to get the transducer to aim correctly but still does the trick. For 80 bucks you can get the ice transducer and that issue would be solved. Would love to see your thoughts in another flasher breakdown/comparison.

Pretty cool vid. I'd definitely purchase a livescope if I could afford it.....back to my single days I would've definitely purchased something like that! But 12 years later I'd have difficulty affording even 250 dollars for a new sonar. Luckily my Vexilar FL-18 is in it's 18th season and still works great. I did upgrade my underwater camera last year, but I had to sell a lot of my old equipment to afford one.

You should go out on an expedition with bait, a rod, and a bucket and show us poor boys how to do it the hard way!!!
