When adding gear each season I commonly ask myself; Will I catch MORE or BIGGER fish with this additional gear?
Will the Upgrade from what I presently own further streamline my fishing operation?
Years ago prior to the present day flasher market I felt Ice Sonar was paramount to hardwater success. This was back when my grandpa referred to it as “Witch Craft”. Now years beyond the “Green Box” that hangs on display in our guest quarters Marcum Technology just continues to raise the bar as to what we as anglers now come to expect out of Ice Sonar.
I’ve had guys ask me through our guide service if they think the technology stemming from the LX7 creation helps me catch more fish? The only unbiased answer for me is; Just Try it and then you can tell me what you think?
The common answer uncovered by each angler is then most always followed by this question; Would you be willing to sell this LX7 after the season? Now I’m not a mind reader, but think this brings great clarity to the original question and fisherman have decided that it gives them a distinct advantage on the ice.
So here is why I believe Marcum Technology gives ME the edge I seek while ice fishing. I believe most fish are triggered to bite. I feel it’s the triggering mechanism that seperates a good angler from a great angler. If fish are going bonkers we’re all great sticks right!? I see it all the time in the open water and hardwater arena. The distinct advantage we hold in a controlled enviornment like fishing a 8 inch hole is we can read how a fish is reacting to our techniques employed.
Now why this seemingly “Jetson Age” mini RED computer versus? I believe in tight bites like fishing big Crappies noted for quick suck in and blow outs of small larvea that the incredible power of the unit allows me to anticipate that bite better than with any other sonar. The seperation factor allows me to keep that presentation a hair above the fish and truly know when it commits. Often times this transfers nearly no detectable bite to my rod. Here’s another common question I get when fishing shoulder to shoulder with customers. “How did you feel that!!” Answer “I didn’t” Response “OH……..”. I am well known for swinging at fish based SOLEY on what I’ve read on My Marcum and sometimes I’m right. 
MOST always these incredible light bites are BIG FISH!!
This is one reason I “See Red” all winter long.
