I ordered one of these units because it was on sale at Radioworld for only $149 (regular price was listed at $500..supposedly -
https://www.radioworld.ca/product/low-00012...-000-12650-001). Since it was so cheap, I got one (just arrived today - took only 2 or 3 days...I live too far to make the trip to the store worth it so I paid for the shipping, which was about $26 and so much less than gas for me, never mind the driving time and part of it being in the GTA).
Anyway, I am curious if anyone has one of these and your opinion on the unit.
Note, this package comes with a portable bag (soft) case, a foam float for the transducer, an ice transducer, a standard 12V 7A rechargeable battery, charger, two small tackle boxes (the Plano types), some maps already installed and of course cables (for power and transducer).
I was surprised by the inclusion of the battery for that price. The transducer itself is about $100, the foam float for the transducer is about $15, battery and charger is about $40-75 (this is a Yuasa brand battery but the charger looks really cheap, which is not a problem as I have a much better charger already).
So it seemed like a real good deal for a simple ice fishing sonar. I hope it works reasonably well and that it was not a waste of time. I was thinking that it had to be better than a couple of very old and tough black/white sonars that I still have (and use) as they still work well and I have had no issues with either.
Lowrance Hook 4 Ice machine, anyone has one?
