The Ice-Ducer - VEXILAR FL-8 SE Owner's Manual

TH E I C E- D UC E R
®
Vexilar ice fishing systems include a special type of transducer patented by Vexilar in 1997 called the
Ice-Ducer . This transducer style is designed specifically for the ice fishing application. The Ice-Ducer
® ®
works off the "plumb-bob" theory. When suspended by the cable, the transducer cone is perfectly aligned
to point straight down.
Stopper - The stopper sets the depth of the transducer. It's adjustable so you can set
the depth according to your preference or conditions. Generally, you want to set it so
the bottom of the transducer is even with the bottom of the ice.
Float - The float suspends the transducer in the ice hole. You can also use the eye-bolt
included with the Vexilar ice fishing system to suspend the transducer. This can often
be the best choice for early ice conditions.
Cable - Ice-Ducer
cable is specifically designed to stay flexible in cold temperatures.
®
This flexible cable will be more prone to be cut by your line or damaged if not stored
correctly. It's a key part of the Ice-Ducer system.
®
Transducer - The transducer is designed to allow a perfectly downward alignment
while suspended and be able to endure the severe conditions encountered in the ice
fishing environment. Different cone angles are available to match your fishing needs:
9° Pro-View, 12°, 19° and Broad Band . Transducer sizes will vary.
