The advantage of an ice ducer is a true round cone instead of a fan. You mentioned the issue, if your ducer isn't facing the right way, you can't see your jig, same thing for fish as well.. a boat ducer is set up to cover width in a fan shape area so as the boat moves you see what is under you and to the sides a little bit, but not infront or behind you... Ice ducer shows everything in the cone... Not sure it's worth the money to you yet, but one day you will appreciate it. I went a lot of years using a boat finder and it worked, I just didn't know what I was missing until I got a finder that does a better job... Now I'm afraid someone will show me the panoptics and I'll realize I'm limited again, but I know I can't afford that system...So I'm hoping to have friends that can afford it that will take me and show me where the fish are... Anyway I'd say do what you can with what you can afford at the time and you'll be happy for now... learn how to work with your system strengths and weaknesses and you'll still catch fish and have fun... Good luck... Jeff
