i bought one last year at the ice show. i loved it for the most part. the only thing that bothered me was that the battery did not last as long as marcums and vexilar by the end of a full day on the ice it was usually at 50 to 60 percent. i was mostly in 12 to 20 feet of water where the wide beem still worked great but once in 35+ water the wide beem took much more gain to pick up my jig but when i switched it to narrow it worked much better.the big screen and adjustable zoom was really nice also when fishing with other people close by there was little to no interference with other flashers. over all i really like the unit but it is just a little scary not knowing how it will be doing 5 years down the road unlike marcums and vexilars where you no that they will last
