Anyone use one of the blutooth fish finder that link to a phone or tablet?  like deeper or fish hunter?  I Ice fish a few times a year and dont want to spend the $ on a vexilar.  I tried  lcdor whatever  and flashers are the best.

Thanks, Will

I don't own one personally but a good friend and avid fisherman purchased the Deeper product and wasn't impressed. He said it would constantly lose the signal to his phone. A Vexilar FL-8SE with the Genz box can be had for around $250-285 battery and charger included. Even if it would only be used 3 or 4 times a year, I figure it's the more reliable choice. My .02ยข

watch ebay or craigslist during the off season and you can get a Vexilar FL-8, marcum LX1, or Lowrance ice 67 for $175-$225.  Any of the three would be a significant upgrade compared to the bluetooth gizmo you reference.

well I ended up buying a fish hunter app for my phone and  a vexilar fl8e  I guess ill try them out side by side to see how the application based finder works.
