Flasher's, A General Opinion

Hummingbird 45 Flasher

Could anyone or everyone out there give me their opinion as to whether or not this would be a worthwhile purchase ? I've never used either a flasher or a camera under the ice and would like to hear from you hard water guys or girls about this item. Thanks for your input in advance ... Smokiesboy

What would you like to know ? There a great unit work well

Great flasher! i have no issues with it. Great with deep water and shallow. If you are getting it for a good deal I say go for it. If not... I say look for ones that has both flasher and finder. I have not gotten a chance to try one of those units... But I am curious.

I think the 45 doesnt have a case, i have the 55, came with a case. I think the 55 is only $100 more, i love it, great entertainment, make ice fishing more exciting, and puts you on more fish!

Yes.. I also have the 55 and it comes with the case, couple extra colours and a bit more powerful. Really not much of a difference on how it will work for you on the ice.

Thanks to all for the replies, I will go with the 55 and let you know the outcome. Going to fish CB on Sunday and the excitement is building , usually fish out of Beaverton or Pefferlaw ... John Best or Casey's. Tight lines to all ...

i bought one a few weeks ago and it is great. If you are not currently using any system right now, well its a game changer.

Worked great today with my bait over 100 ft of water, and marked about 5 fish come up off the bottom and chase my bait.

The 45 does not come with a case, but i bought one with it. If you can afford the 55, go for it. it has a few more options with the colour palette, and target button, and comes with a case. The 45 suits my needs fine, and i have a case with it and definitely recommend Humminbird.
