Finder, flasher, or camera

[RyanCreek]

For ice fishing, a flasher is the supreme king. However, I use a regular finder and it does all that I need. I also have an underwater camera and this is the conclusion that I have reached - cameras are really not very useful at all except in rare circumstances (such as checking lure action or identifying the species circling your bait). Cameras are cumbersome, time consuming, and hooked fish can often wrap around the camera cable. They are little more than a fun novelty.

Sonar lets you see the entire water column and also out to the sides a bit as it sees in a cone. Cameras generally only give you a few feet. Sometimes much more but it all depends on lighting and water clarity - even with night vision capability.
