Humminbird ICE Flashers

I continue to get emails from people that want to know more about the features on the Humminbird ICE 55.  Apparently Santa was good to people and delivered a lot of Hummbird ICE units.  So, here are some features for those of you that are new to the Humminbird ICE family.

First, your unit has a Selectable Dual Frequency which results in a dual beam transducer.  You can select the 240kHz beam for a wider, 19 degree coverage area to detect more fish or choose the narrower, 9 degree 455kHz beam for greater resolution and detail in deeper water.  This same feature is available on the ICE 35, 45 and 55.

The ICE 45 and 55 both have the exclusive back-lit LCD display inside the flasher dial.  This back lit display shows your digital depth in real time.  In addition, you can see your Beam options, your target area, your battery life as well as your scale.  All this is available on the back lit LCD screen which is easy to read in direct light or in a dark portable.

For those of you with the Humminbird ICE 55 you are the Target Line option which is one of my favorite options.  The target line is a purple line that shows up that you can adjust to anywhere in the water column.  This is great for fishing deep water, suspended fish or fish in cover.  I use it all the time to mark the depth that fish are coming in at so I know where to place my bait when I drop it back down.

In addition to Target Line, if you own the ICE 55 you have a 2x Dynamic Zoom that you can change while you view.  This allows you to double your view of a specific depth range.  Essentially you use two brackets to bracket the area you want to zoom in on and it is totally adjustable to anywhere in the water column and can be changed any time, while you are viewing it.

One last feature if you own the the ICE 55 is you have different color palletes available.   There are two different options for 3 colors and one option for 6 colors.  If you are fishing in weeds or around cover the 6 color option is very nice.  It is one of those options that until you use it, you won't know how nice it is to have.

Ok, there is a lot more stuff I could talk about but hopefully that answers a lot of the questions.  I covered mainly stuff with the ICE 55 because it has the most features and that is mainly the questions I get.  Again, congrats to those that have joined the Humminbird ICE family, you are going to love that unit!
