MyFishFinder.com Just like iceshanty but warmer
I said the lines were "faint", not invisible. Maybe when the lines are faint I could darken them in quickly with a black Sharpie marker. I'll give that a try.
After charging mine up the other day, I actually had to pull out the book and play with the unit a bit, as it never made it out last year, and I forgot how to use the "ZOOM" feature.
What, an icefisherman who admits he reads manuals??? WTH? We don't need no stinkin manuals.
I just ordered the troller 2.0 Its going to be my first entry into the electronics world.. Im sure there are better choices out there, but this is what I could afford... Regardless im pretty pumped!!!
I hate to reveal my secrets but wearing 3d glasses while using a showdown turns it into a color unit.
Quiet now guys and lets see if Rebel really thinks I'm going to use the colored Sharpies on my Showdown and gets all nervous that I'm going to ruin my unit because of his suggestion. Maybe if I can convince him that I did it with like some doctored up pictures he will break down and send me the $$ for a new Showdown - then I'll have two.
Good thing I upgraded my glasses this year!!
so here goes my attempt to hijack this thread......other than size what is the big difference between the troller and the 5.6? I've got a budget of $350 absolute max. So if I go with the troller and Performance Pack that leaves me under my budget with room for extra goodies. If there's a huge upgrade in buying the 5.6 I'll go that route since it comes with everything. Size doesn't seem like it would bother me as long as functionality is the same.
I found a deal where I can get the troller and pack for just under $200 leaving me with a lot left for other stuff. My question now is, is the troller a capable enough unit that I could rely on it alone? I do not own another flasher/locator and it would be my sole piece of equipment. I do not fish any deeper than 20-25'. I'm basically looking for a bare bones approach but if it means I wouldn't be able to jig efficiently because of the seperation then ill pony up and get the 5.6
I just turned my Showdown on for the first time this year and was still charged. Still going to put it on the charger for a full charge though.
I just purchased a showdown troller 2.0. 2 questions what's the difference between 2.0 and the regular troller? (Yes, I did do some research before getting the unit.) #2 Any tips and tricks I should know about that I wont find in the instructions... I cant wait till my new toy shows up its my first flasher/sonar ever.
