THE ICE-DUCER
®
Vexilar ice shing systems include a special type of transducer patented by Vexilar in 1997 called the
Ice-Ducer
®
. This transducer style is designed specically for the ice shing application. The Ice-Ducer
®
works o 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 oat suspends the transducer in the ice hole. You can also use the eye-bolt
included with the Vexilar ice shing system to suspend the transducer. This can often
be the best choice for early ice conditions.
Cable - Ice-Ducer
®
cable is specically designed to stay exible in cold temperatures.
This exible 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
shing environment. Dierent cone angles are available to match your shing needs:
9° Pro-View, 12°, 19° and Broad Band
(FLX-30bb only). Transducer sizes will vary.
