Amazing video thanks for showing us how to use and the features and benefits. Just bought the Lowrance model Hook2 4x all season pack ice fish finder!

I know absolutely nothing about ice fishing fish finders, but I was looking at getting that hook2 and learned that it's probably a good choice for a beginner. I'm counting down the days until the lakes freeze here in Colorado. Thanks

Just ordered the helix 7 all season bundle. Can’t wait to try it out

Thanks for the review. I also checked out your Helix how to set up video, I thought that was great! Well done sir. -Pidge, Ontario Canada.

Hey love your videos super informative!! I just moved to Washington from Virginia. I’m super new to Washington and ice fishing. Just got some electronics and I’m getting ready to hit the hard water hard this January! I would love to maybe meet up with yah and ice fish somewhere in Washington!

Great informative video! I got a Hook2-5 as a gift last year and have been wondering how well the ice flasher function works. I think I'm gonna get the ice machine pack for it and try it out.

Great video!

I've been looking at the helix 7 also

Great video very informative thank you...

Great comparison. Matches my experience. My Lowrance X67c from years back was amazing at the time but they are slow and definitely aren't great on that 200khz band for noise. My Helix 7 G2n has been far better. Lowrance seems to have fallen back on the performance which is a shame as they were first to the game as they were in the 60s. Chirp should help on the frequency battle

I am not proficient at setting up a F.F. or reading what I see on a F.F. screen. Your understanding of F. F., and there various functions are legit! I just recently moved from a grey scale F.F. to a Lowrance 5ti Color unit. I would like to better understand screen set up. What all that clutter is on a screen as sensitivity levels are increased. How to set up a screen to show Thermocline. Are there good online teaching video's you could share?

I am looking for the Hook2 5 Lowrance ice pack without the unit but can only find it for 269.99. seems expensive for what you are getting.

Have you done any videos on the Lowrance Elite 7TI for ice fishing? If so I'd be curious how you set it up.

I've been looking at both of these for my 12 ft boat, and came across this video. Nice! I realize you are reviewing these for ice fishing. Would there be any major considerations for use on a boat?

What battery size did u use on the helix. How long does it last u on a day of fishing? (Factoring in cold could last abit longer in summer. I'm planning to get the helix 5 or the garmin striker 4. For portability fishing (small streams)

I use the Helix 5 SI for my ice fishing unit and have trouble dialing it in would the settings be the same as you G2 ?

I had to look up what a Mackinaw is... never heard a laker called that before

With the hook2 when u took it out of the water do you ever check the bottom of the cone to see if there’s ice or slush stuck to it I’ve seen that happen a lot of time

Good Comparison Video ! Just the explanation was worth looking ! If a fish has those damages on the fins just take it and eat it dont let it reproduce (the offspring have a 50/50 chans of getting gnarly fins ... Save the Top Notch for spawn and eat the ones that look funky :-) ) im going for the Hook2 im the easy one who doesnt use sonars today i prebait instead :-D Regards Paul Roger -North Sweden

How do they compare with the Garmin 4?

When you turn helix off after you have all your settings for ice fishing do they stay when you turn unit off and turn back on

Where are you fishing is it public?

What’s your thought on the hook2 4x. I don’t got a whole lot to spend haha

If you put the Lowrance in the ice fishing mode off the menu it will show the battery power as well, Ice setting also give a different color settings.

Can you do a video on the settings

can you just buy a suction transducer and use the helix in open water on say a rowboat?

Какой лучше купить для зимы?

What speed is on your helix

Garmin striker 4 is all u need

Can you cut 2 holes? 1 for the transducer and the other to fish from and not have it mess with your flasher? I've never ice fished. So I'm curious

Surface clutter is the ice you don’t have to ducer down far enough.

The helix is a better unit. I have the helix 7 chirp g2 ice unit. My buddy bought the lowrance and it constantly picked up clutter making It hard to mark your jig. He ended up returning the unit and ordered a helix 7g2n ice unit. Only complaint I have is horrible battery life with the helix and those interested can't seem to buy one in store because they are always sold out. Also, i have never adjusted any settings on my helix, power it on and drop ducer in the hole. Updates are easy as long as you have a micro sd card/ micro sd card adapter. I actually download updates on my phone using a otg adapter and plug card into unit. Awesome units but should have came with a lithium ion battery because they drain the battery quick.

So which one? Lol
