Anyone ever use the HDS on the ice??? Know they sell the ice ducer and more or less Genz pack for around $160.. Wondering how it works on the ice. Just picked one up and was reading about flasher mode and ice mode..thanx

For my money Id buy a showdown they are just a little more than trying to convert yer summer rig. Mine works great and am very pleased. bought it on ebay for like 200 total.
good luck n bring on some ice.

ok well let me clarify. I have a Lowrance digital for ice now. I know some use there LMS finders on the ice and love it. Was really wondering if anyone has tried the high def. And how they like it. Sorry for the confusion and thanx for the reply. ;-)

I have a friend who uses the HDS 5 for ice fishing in North Dakota, and up at Winnepeg, so cold must not bother them. He is very happy with it, uses the full-screen GPS on the sled to get to his spots, switches to depth finder function for fishing
