ice Fishing
Basic Principles
The FL series color flashers offer distinct advantages over traditional depth sounders for
the sport of ice fishing. This unique style of fishing offers a stable platform to fish from.
Because everything is so stable, the only movements below are that of fish. Additionally,
the conditions allow you to drop your bait directly down into the center of the transducer’s
cone of sound. This allows you to be able to see your bait and the fish on the display at
the same time. You can tease the fish and see his reaction.
WARNING - Before venturing onto the ice to go fishing, be sure you know if the conditions
are safe. Check with the local bait shops AND cautiously check the ice thickness yourself.
You should have at least 6” of clear ice to safely support yourself and your ice fishing
equipment.
