ICE 55
« on: Feb 05, 2009, 09:55 AM »
I did all the research I thought was possible befor buying my first flasher. Bought the ice 55 and it worked great for the week I used it in Devil's lake. Fired it up a Boysen and it sounded like it was full of BB's.  Of course I had taken great care of the almost 500.00 unit.  Come to find out this has happened on several of their units.  I went to town and bought the Marcum LX-5 and WOW...... what a machine.

My 35 was makiing a bunch of noise, after a phone call and 4 days I had a new one. Great service. Come to find out, the way the plastic base sits on the ice, it makes it rattel. You have to set it on a pad of some sorts.

It actually had loose parts in it and would not read anything.     It does have nice features but i am very impressed with the target separation of the Marcum that the 55 did not have

Why have a hamberger when steak is the same price. Go Marcum
