    Here’s a new release from Humminbird…

    Humminbird 535 Portable

    It looks like a pretty decent fishfinder for anyone who needs a low-priced portable unit for Canada trips or other uses. If anyone should happen to use one, please give us some feedback. Thanks! — Wade

    Looks interesting. I am particularly interested in this statement on sensitivity.

    Sonar Echo Enhancement™ Technology is so sensitive it’ll track a small jig to over 40ft and separate targets within 2 ½ inches!

    Should be able to conceivably use for ice fishing if you can track your jig like that. Do you know if it comes with an ice ducer?

    It does not. I don’t believe Humminbird even offers it as an option. I don’t know if the unit would hold up well in the extreme cold conditions or not. For ice fishing I’d probably go with the Lowrance X67C Ice Machine or Vexilar FL-8 / FL-18 , tried and true!

    As for watching your jig on sonar, I can do it with my Lowrance LMS 330C, so I am sure it’s possible on this unit. I can’t verify it however.
