Looking at this unit. Anyone using this for ice fishing? Hoping its as good or better than my elite 4x ice machine.

I haven’t been able to tell a difference between the Hook 2 line and the Elite lines, besides the orientation of the screen. I just assumed they were basically the same units, rebranded. At the very least, it should be as good as your Elite 4x.

 the hook 2 series were made to run pretty much on automatic.. way different machine than the original hook... I have a hook 2 9Ts on my boat... my only complaint thus far is it is too powerful to run on auto in shallow water( under 10') with a hard bottom( shell).. if I go to custom  mode ( it also has an ice fishing mode)  and slow the ping speed down it is fine... left on auto, the signals will jam the machine causing it to freeze.other than that the fish marking ability of this machine is outstanding..

Thanks Joe. I understand what you're saying. Appreciate the feedback.  Might be shopping for my Christmas present soon.
