[quote RockyRaab]Just to avoid confusion, they are ALL sonars.
The three common types of fishfinders are:
Moving screen type (used on boats/soft water)
Round dial flasher for ice
Vertical column type for ice.
While some people use the boat type for ice, they are considered less than ideal. That leaves us with round or vertical displays.[/quote]
Flashers weren't designed, nor invented, for ice fishing. Ice fishermen found some of the older graphs to be less than ideal for use on the ice, and therefore stuck with flashers. They all work under all circumstances. It's just a matter of which way you like your information. Marcum has finally entered the 21st century and now uses digital technology.
