What customers say about "Key Specs"

Humminbird ICE-45 Three Color Flasher with LCD

Excellent sensitivity and love the dual frequency transducer.
I love this fishfinder, it's sensitivity is amazing.
Also the dual beam allows you to see the other holes around you (If you want).
This unit is wonderful to use on the ice. It sees the fish and the lure very distinctly.
So, its easy to use, the display is great, zoom is awesome, dual beam cone is very handy.

Humminbird ICE-55 Ice Fishing Flasher

Uses different sonar frequency from other brands so no interference.
This flasher will still see your lure, mark weeds, soft vs hard bottom.
The sonar capabilities were adequate for my uses. I was able to separate fish and lure and also determine bottom types.
Great unit, it's all an ice fisherman needs. Tracks the smallest jigs to the deepest I fished.
The zoom, sensitivity, beam width, battery and noise features couldn't get much easier to use. Very pleased.

What customers say about "Interface"

Humminbird ICE-45 Three Color Flasher with LCD

Digital readouts make it extremely easy to use and read under various conditions.
Nice big bright display, backlight very useful in low light to pitch black conditions.
the digital display clearly shows fish on the monitor along with your hook or minnow.
I like the liquid crystal display for depth and the backlighting is good in dark conditions.
The screen seems way bigger and easier to read than many of the other more longstanding and expensive brands.

Humminbird ICE-55 Ice Fishing Flasher

I like the bigger screen. Over all good target separation and does what it is supposed to.
I chose the Ice-55 because I thought it had more options than the others. I like the liquid crystal display for depth. I really haven't used the 6 colors as three works just fine.
Overall, I am more than satisfied with my purchase. I like the larger display and backlight options.
The adjust zoom is amazing and the LED screen can be seen from any angle.

What customers say about "Features"

Humminbird ICE-45 Three Color Flasher with LCD

Very easy to use zoom and like that it can be used anywhere in the water column.
The zoom feature was excellent and I was almost playing with the fish as I would have them move up and down the screen after my minnow.
The adjust zoom is amazing for catching those finicky Crappies.
Works great ! Zoom feature works well.
I really like the adjustable zoom feature instead of just have the bottom zoom like most other fish finders at this price range.

Humminbird ICE-55 Ice Fishing Flasher

Frequency noise rejection which acts like a walkie talkie that uses different channels to avoid interference with other humminbird units.
Carrying case is handy: unzips on both side to easily take out transducer or battery.
The case is a nice thing to have and the handle on top makes it easy to carry.
Works great. long battery life. Big bright screen. No interference issues with other units.
Love the features. Digital depth read out is a big bonus. Backlighting is great
