3 best hand fish finders

Product description

The FishTrax 1C is for experienced anglers who demand a high-definition fishing experience. It incorporates a full-color, high-definition VirtuView TFTN display and has three operating modes: Fish Finder, Data and Ice-More Digital Flasher. The Fish Finder mode identifies the presence of fish, bottom contour and composition, and the overall depth of the water on the HD color display. The Data Mode enlarges depth, temperature and battery voltage readings so they are easy to read from several feet away while allowing the fish finder to run in the background so that you can keep an eye out for optimal fish habitats. The Ice-Mode Digital Flasher gives you real-time FishTrax sonar echoes like a traditional flasher, perfect for targeting suspended fish while ice fishing. The FishTrax 1C also incorporates user-selectable, dual-beam FishTrax Intelligent Sonar which allows fine-tuning of the fish finder to adapt to any fishing style or platform. It has a 100-level sensitivity adjustment, multi-level depth ranges, and auto-zoom bottom tracking. Integrated fish and depth alarms intensify prey targeting.

• FishTrax intelligent sonar delivers precise fish finder readings up to 240 feet

User questions & answers

Question:	Can anyone tell me how long four aa batteries last in either the 1x or 1c? i'm assuming the 1c eats up batteries more than the 1x
Answer:	I have the 1C, It uses AAA not AA. A set will last about 6 hours. That's non stop use. I wanted to make a AA converter to get a longer run time because when we're out fishing, we won't be back at camp for 8 to 10 hours. I would always use good name brand batteries. you can chew through batteries.
Question:	Like to find out if the hawkeye ft1px fishtrax portable dot matrix fish finder would work while trolling at a slow speed
Answer:	Hi. Nope. Have three of these. That's with the stock transducer. BUT, they sell a high speed transducer that I'm going to install shortly. Hope that helps, need to be at a standstill. Good hunting..... Paul
Question:	Does this one use the AA batteries
Answer:	It uses 4 AAA batteries.
Question:	Is this responsive with a jig
Answer:	Yes, You can certainly watch your jig while ice fishing. See this article that also has an image that a customer sent in: https://support.norcrossmarine.com/hc/en-us/articles/360045152253-Can-you-you-see-the-jig-on-the-FishTrax-1C-while-icefishing-
Question:	Please i need a trasceduser cable replacement. How much will it cost me
Answer:	Usually we didn't sell the transducer alone. If you already bought fish finder from us before, please contact us through amazon message and we will give you the offer for the transducer alone.
Question:	It works in salt water
Answer:	Yes,this Lucky fish finder can work well in salt water. It is suitable for ocean、lakes and rivers. Hope this helps.
Question:	can you mount the transistor in side the kayak
Answer:	Usually people will fix the transducer on the hull of the kayak (the outside). Because the transducer can only be working when it touches the water.
Question:	Does it work well for ice fishing
Answer:	Yes it works well for ice fishing, although you must drop the transducer below the ice in order for it to read depth accurately. I also found that it has the potential to mis-detect large tube jigs as a fish, but I actually don’t mind that as it tells me how deep my bait is. I also use this with my kayak mounted with the bracket, so I get double duty. Battery life is fantastic even in below zero temps. I’ve been out with it on several outings below freezing and I’m still on the same set of batteries! I would recommend this product.
