can this be use for ice fishing?

This unit is intended for permanent installation. However, if you rigged a p0rtable 12volt battery for power, and a holder for the transducer, it could technically be used for ice fishing, though the hassle would likely override the benefit.

Absolutely. This is a great setup and I would recommend it to anyone for light to medium fresh water fishing.

YES! In fact, I posted a ~25minute video review focusing on ice fishing. Search the DIY Sportsman Deeper review on Youtube. It has limitations due to its size, and has a measured ~0.49s delay. But I do catch just as many fish with it as I do with any other flasher. Keep your trip under 4 hours or you'll need to bring a portable battery pack.

It could be used that way, but it would not hold a lot with ice and it runs the risk of leaking, as other users have mentioned. I have not had any leaking issues though!

Yes. It works well on nuts, bacon, and other crunchy foods. I would not recommend it for ice.

I bought mine for my hobby of model rocketry. It works great, I imagine it would work good for fishing as we'll.

I dont see why not. First time i used it was for sledding. I cant wait to use it this summer for diving.

It could, but not attached to the poles unless they were low profile bait casting reels. This would also limit the amount of pole space.

I am sorry. I purchased this as a gift and don't know the answer but I can say he uses it for ice fishing and is very pleased with it and plans on using it for golf league when it si still chilly.

I use mine for Ice fishing and it will shoot through a couple feet of ice but you must put a small amount of water down first. As far as reading in open water, it is gives a very quick and accurate depth but also must come in contact with the water, and I am not sure how it would work while moving.

This is unlikely to cut through ice. It would probably hover above it as it is for removing a lot of snow with one push comfortably.

to be sure, I dont know, but it is a top quality hook-up hose. I dont think it is, or they could not sell it as a ice maker line

Yes, but it is very basic. You would need much more for your average fishing trip. Some would consider the 'tackle' useless.

It would be great for trout fishing. Your line and pole would be the biggest difference for using this reel. I use it for light saltwater fishing and would def use it for some trout back at home.

Won't work for ice fishing as it's got to float on the surface of the water and that means it's trying to shoot sonar down a 4 foot hole. You can't submerge it either because you lose signal to you iPhone. It's ok trolling slow behind a boat but that's about it.

Yes the 4 xdi can be used in ice fishing applications with the purchase of the ice fishing transducer.

Yes. I am currently using it for fresh water topwater lures but it can be used for any lure of small to medium size
