Marcum ?

[jigumup]

I got a gift card form Mrs. Claus and was thinking about getting a Marcum Showdown Ice Troller. Brand new to using electronics for fishing, and ice fishing for that matter, I like the idea of the hand held. What to guys think/recommend? Thanks!

They work good as long as you don't fish deeper than 120FOW. A lot of my fishing is 140-160FOW in my local lake. I would own one if they went to 200FOW.

Once you spend the $ for the troller and the pro pack for it (battery, case, ect)...if you can,  spend the little bit more for the dual beam Showdown.

I just bought the single beam for $300 shipped.  I have no need for the duel beam because I only fish under 30 FOW.

BC: How are you? Hope you had a great Christmas.
A couple small ponds/lakes froze last night -again! Otsego is a long way off, if at all. Usually doesn't freeze until Jan 21st average, 17th last year. I am ready to get my boat back out of storage and go jig some up! Want to go?

Hey jim!

I was thinking of doing the same thing this weekend (might get the rowboat out on the reservoir-the lakers should be hungry after spawning), hope all is well-talk to you soon

I just got the showdown duel beam and cant wait to use it. The demo makes it look real easy to use I guess I'll find out.

Very easy to use.

Hey lockdown thanks for the post let me know how works for you. Emtom says easy to use so always a plus. Was thinking of the Ice Troller cause I like the idea of being able to put it in my coat and wander around. it won't matter if doesn't get cold thanks agian

showdown is very easy to use.  the troller is nice but like said if you want to go extravagant as a pack and battery you should just buy a x67c for 250 on reeds.
