Humminbird Ice45
« on: Jan 03, 2012, 08:39 PM »
Anybody out there used the Humminbird Ice45?  If so please let me know what you think.  I have a Vex fl12 and love it but was wondering how it compares to the vex.

I picked up and ice-35 at the end of last season. Had it out 3 times this year and it's great. Now I have never owned any of the other brands so I cannot compare.

Was going to get the Vex but found the Ice 55 for almost half price last year at cabelas in Billings>Awesome is all I can say.

Yes, from what I've heard the humminbird is just as every bit as good as the vexes. It's usually less expensive as well. I bought the Ice Armour flasher bag and it's great. Had to put a plano tackle box underneath the flasher but there is a zippered compartment for it.

I've had the Ice45 for a couple years and love it. I've never had anything else so I can't compare, but I can't imagine anything could do much better than the 45. I've fished from 5 feet for perch down past 100ft for lake trout with it. I can still see my jigs past 100ft which seems pretty unbelievable. The target separation is great and when the jig and fish blend together and go "red" the fish is on.

I've got the ice 45 and love it.  I've never owned another brand but this one does everything I need it to.

The 45 is the only one I have owned, but I am very happy with it. I would buy another one.

I have a 35 and had it for a year now and it is good. For me it is better then the vex but they are both essential to ice fishing no matter which one you have
