MyFishFinder.com Just like iceshanty but warmer
i'd take the 6 any day!the others are flashers. flasher are a what you see is what you get platform. they flash lights.the 6 on the other hand is a digital display platform that allows the user to choose up to 4 charts at any given time from a section of 6 charts. the graph is priceless and when you get used to vertical charts and graphs and all at the same time, you'll understand what all of this means to an ice angler that enjoys modern tech and not lights flashing in their eyes all day or even worse flashing lights in your eyes at night! glad i don't have to stare at them things any more!because of all of these chart options and layout and features, it should be hard to out grow like i did with my ice-55 flasher. the flashing lights always aggravated me that there was nothing i could do about them and how bright they were in low light and night fishing. the digital systems use a backlight and it is adjustable down to 10% or up to 100% brightness. and best of all, no flashing lights!if you can't afford the 6, then at least get a m series for those are brushless motors. the lx5 and down are not brushless and they are phasing those out due to motor failures.
I have the Lx 5 and the 6. Still love the 5 for pannies but the 6 (graph mode) is awesome when chasing Macs. When a big splat comes up on the screen it gets my heart going!! hang on!!
