How to instantly hose your tranducer cable

Step one, put down the damn phone

Lol, yep.... Been there a couple times

i always fish with my flasher in its own hole to keep that from happening and it still happens haha had a fish come up through my flasher hole, land on the ice then dive back down the hole, mean while the line wrapped around the ducer cable... well my transducer is now at the bottom of the lake.

That's funny seeing the fish torpedo under the ice swinging by the hole. LMAO

Does that really hose your cable? I think I have had hundreds of fish do that to my Marcum transducer cable over the past few years and it seems to be working fine still. Please elaborate if you know more

ducer in a hole 3/4 drilled ends that problem.

Wondering the same. It's never hurt mine in the least. Anything hooked that is big, and I pull it put of the way. Usually dont bother with pan fish.

as stated before put the phone away, then 1: set the hook, 2: clear the sonar cable from the hole, 3: work the fish.  It's not rocket science.

I've never had damage with Perch but I did have a 4lb Rainbow do it once.  If its just the rubber insulation that's damaged you can patch it with some liquid electrician's tape...love that stuff.   Now I keep the everything above the bottom of the ice and/or will drill an extra hole just for the ducer.

Got it, thanks. I had no idea.
Fish was instantly wrapped around the cable.
Cut the rubber cover up but it now has several layers of plastic dip  on it now and hopefully its good as new and more durable.
