[black][size 3]This is virtually the same thing as the HawkEye portable - except the Zebco is $40 less at only $59. Beeman over on the Utah board has an Hawkeye that I saw him use on Strawberry for ice fishing. It was real sweet for getting a depth reading with out all the hassle of setting up a regular finder. He carried it in his pocket. Although I didn't see him do it, he said that he can get a reading through the ice with it. [/size][/black]

[black][size 3]For the size and price, it sounds like a reasonable gadget for several things: Quick ice fishing readings, finding holding fish under docks or overhangs using the side finder feature, or remotely(within the 25 foot cable distance) spot fishing in holes. [/size][/black]
[black][size 3][/size][/black]
[black][size 3]However, when I down loaded the Manual, I didn't like how the unit shows the bottom structure or weeds. It also does not have a water temp sensor - which I like on a fish finder read out. [/size][/black]
