Elite 4X Ice Machine Here, Questions regarding installation

Although there are no fish to show for it the Elite 4X performed perfectly, in my opinion. Heading to work, so no time now, but later today I will post some screen shots I took, and a copy of the set-up instructions that were provided by Radioworld, they worked perfectly.

So here are some pics from my outing yesterday. Think I'm reading this right, not sure on a few things. Starting with the instructions that were in the box supplied by Radioworld. I pretty much followed them, and then turned sensitivity down from 100 as they suggest as I was getting noise, down to 95 but couldn't always see my lure, and back up to 97 where it seemed to be happy.

Here is what I "think" are fish coming up to my lure, but maybe sensitivity just too high?

My lure at 90', and....? Fish? OR I'm thinking they would be a more sharply defined hook shape?

Very happy with how I can see the lure on the screen. Here is me and my buddy, I'm jigging the top line, he's right on bottom and in between us we have a two way spreader sitting still. We were exaggerating our jigging motions to see how they looked on the screen.

Last one. Again not sure if this is something coming up off bottom, or ??

Because you are ice fishing, the fish will be a constant line, not a hook shape. Thickness and colour will change depending on where they are in relation to your lure. With bottom huggers you will first just notice that the bottom thickness seems to change a bit before the fish lift off. It definately looks like you had a couple in the area and that there was some investigation on your goods.

Glad you are happy with it, hope it helps you get more on the ice!

Yes, that would be 2 fish near bottom unles the straither line is one of your lures, but doesn't look like it as I see your jigging action above.


Appears you have it dialed in

Great set up, and yes those were fish you had lifting off bottom to see your lures.

I also have the Elite 4x and bought the ice kit for it. I am happy with it. All of this info is very useful and thanks to everyone who posted as I used this info before I was a member. I bought a second battery at princess auto for $30 and it lasts for two full days. Getting rid of the tackle boxes is a good idea because if you leave them in there after fishing you risk all of your lures getting rusty.... I keep the boxes in there and just take them out and open the boxes up after fishing (which I would do no matter where I keep the tackle)

Awesome, thanks guys. Now if I could just get them to bite!

i suggest you use the split screen. there could be some high cruisers that youre missing. plus if you get a chase its fun to watch.

Good point. I'll give that a try next time out. With only a 4" screen, the splits are a little small, but worth a try.

Hey I am from the Northern Lakes side of this forum but just got a Elite 4 Ice Machine, and I am super pumped to take it out on the water.

I fish in 70 to 90 feet of water, any specific settings I should be aware of.

Lookin for monster lakers using 1/4 to 1/2 oz jigs with either soft swimmers or tube jigs.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is a pic of the last catch without a sounder, just got lucky rippin bottom

Maybe try the ones in the shot I posted above. Worked for me right out of the box. Might adjust your depth scale to match your bottom depth, but pretty much the same.
