@@RushVoorhisOutdoors man, i was all set to buy the striker 5, but then i saw the lowrance with sidescan and almost bought that, but saw lots of horror stories on how bad it was, then I started looking at this hummingbird with down imaging with maps and a sd card slot and i'm leaning towards the hummingbird. hard to decide. i like the fact that the Garmin can create contour maps, but i think the hummingbird can also do that. i'm wondering... what is the maximum sd card size the hummingbird can use ? anyone ?
Quick question, I’ve been thinking about upgrading to one, when I look at the modes(Helix 5 G2) I noticed the ones on the market don’t have the little chip badge if you’d call it that, are the newer ones put somewhere else or is that somehow an add on?
Ahhh gotcha, you wouldn’t by chance know the name of the power cable I need to run from the helix to the battery would ya? Or could you point me in the right direction
Glad I purchased this unit and have no regrets!
Yessir!
It was cool meeting you last night. Your videos will help me a lot getting into some local fishing opportunities.
Heck yes! Good luck man!
Ya hummingbird is where it's at for sure man 👍. Love mine to versatility between boat and the ice hard to beat.
Birds for lyfe
Please i need to know if humming bird basemap cover south america venezuela for helix 5 gps
How cool, only time I ever ice fishing was yrs and yrs ago(30+yrs) and they didnt have things like that. Hope you have a great day today.
Haha yea they got some pretty cool new toys! Take care man, appreciate you stopping by!
That seems to be a decent ice combo. I need to put one on my kayak.
It'll fit👍
Thanks! Having a heck of a time deciding on the Helix 5 or Striker 5.
Ahhh i would roll with the helix 5. My opinion tho, lemmeknow what you decide

@@mikecousins1 yup, humminbird can autochart too. Not sure on mzx size maybe 32gb?
@@RushVoorhisOutdoors Can you then use this unit in summer with a boat conversion kit? or is it strictly an ice unit?
Ice Fishing isn't my thing but this looks like a nice unit. Good Breakdown. Fish on Rush!
Haha thanks Vance!
I subbed ,hope u have a happy new year!!
You as well!

Thanks kyle!
You ever fish the lakes on Blackfoot reservation up by Browning and cutbank?
Nope, never ventured up that way
Great review...will Rhonda ever get to go ice fishing with u?
Haha maybe! She's made of cardboard so it could be the last we see of her lolz
@@RushVoorhisOutdoors oh heavens...dont do that then!
I’m an electronics virgin. Just ordered the 7 all season bundle. Do you know if the lake master maps have Canadian lakes or just US lakes?
Ahhhhh i think they might have a Canadian chip,

They have it, just don't have the badge
@@RushVoorhisOutdoors ah gotcha, thanks
What is the difference between helix 5 and helix 7
Screen size is the only difference
My helix 5 seems to lag/freeze at times and will show unrealistic depths (600 ft +) any advice on what I should do?
Ya i got 1! They were supposed to fix this issue with the firmware update. Make sure its updated, and it'll be better. Not perfect, but better
Rush Voorhis Outdoors Thought I had the latest version but will check it out. Thanks for the quick reply!
Up grade will fix it. + you'll have a killer fish hunting machine.
Can you used on a normal lake.
I just bought one.
Sure can! Just throw the transducers over the edge and she'll work great
Mind if I ask where you got the shuttle?
Came with the ice combo package without the head unit
Ahhh gotcha, you wouldn’t by chance know the name of the power cable I need to run from the helix to the battery would ya? Or could you point me in the right direction
How thick is the ice at that lake?
4 inches
