MyFishFinder.com Just like iceshanty but warmer
I will probably dump the cable I just wanted to review from a point of how the units are intended to be set up, but just from a design standpoint I think the helix support cable is a better design than the hds(which I don't use).
Thanks for the review. Have been looking at the Helix as well myself, but also have an Elite-5. With regards to the support cable, are you running the Lowrance ice-ducer hanging just by the cable entering the transducer with no ill effects. I hate that it's hard to hang it level and the o-ring cordstock Lowrance sent with my unit doesn't even fit through the hole in the transducer so I had to jerry-rig it to begin with.
make sure that lakemaster is the MICRO sd version, not standard sd
How was the interference with the Vex next to you? I've had quite a bit in 20-25 fow fishing next to friends. I think it was greatly intensified because I had the sensitivity cranked to pick up my jig in some thick standing trees. The noise filter helped but didn't completely clear it up. That was fishing with a Vex within 15' and Ice 35 within 20'.
Good report. Get rid of that second cord and the float then it will be top shelf.
Ha. I thought it was a bit silly. But wondered if Humminbird dint have faith in their ducer cable so I did it anyways.
I'm trying to understand the differences between the helix series and the 357 at Cetera series is it strictly price point and screen orientation?
