Pros

  • Long battery life (lithium-ion)
  • Easy to set up and get fishing right away
  • Locating fish is quick and simple
  • Logical and comprehensive interface
  • The portable carrying case is a nice touch

Cons

  • Expensive, at over $3,000 you have to put hours in on the ice to justify the expense
  • Not super mobile; there's a tradeoff for the technology and big screen, which can be cumbersome to “run and gun” on the ice
  • The transducer and mount are large enough that fishing from the same hole can be tough
