So I got a $50 gift card for Scheels and decided to swing by there over lunch to see if they had Humminbird ice duckers. Asked the associated up there and he showed me the stack.
"You got a Helix 5 Sonar?" he asked.
"Yup," I said. "The DI."
"Oh, well this won't work."
"What?"
"I just was on the phone with a rep because a lot of guys have been asking, and he said the ice tranducer is for the Helix 5 Ice and Sonar units only."
I still had half a mind to buy it anyway because I've read many things to the contrary, but for $100 it's still cheaper just to get it shipped through Amazon.
Anyway, is this legit? Is my DI only good for summer fishing as the Scheels expert suggested? Or will the ice ducer work just fine?
