Majja -- you're smart to ask about this before buying, because it is one of your major ice fishing purchases, and you don't want to be saying to yourself 'Man, I wish I'd waited and got......' It's a little like buying a new car...get as much info on the ones you're interested in, then try to see someone using it (them) out on the ice, and actually see how they're working for them...YouTube can help alot...I used a Humminbird 130 Fishin Buddy very successfully for about 10 years, then finally bought the Marcum digital Showdown...This will be my third season using it, and I have enjoyed it very much...like others have said, it's easy to set up, easy to understand, and is very sensitive to your lure and anything in the 20 degree column....Guluk on your search...
