The first step to purchasing an ice fishing flasher is understanding how one works. From turning the unit on to identifying a fish - we walk through all of the basics to using an ice fishing flasher below.
For this breakdown, we are using our traditional flashers series flashers that are reliable, simple, and affordable.
Mapping is becoming a must-have feature in the ice fishing world. That’s why the RT-9 2.0 prioritizes easy GPS and mapping functions that can be controlled by your fingertips. In fact, the RT-9 2.0 features a large, lightweight, rugged touchscreen tablet that allows you to have full control over your coordinates while on the ice.
The MarCum Lithium Shuttle is powerful. It’s equipped with a 12V, 12Ah Lithium ION battery that can extend the life of your unit for up to 40 hours. However, the shuttle is much more useful than just a power pack. Rather, it comes with a long list of features that can change the way you fish.
With the RT-9 2.0 you get more than just a flasher. Instead, you get an entire ice fishing system complete with sonar, mapping, recording, dual flasher capabilities and more. Combine these features with unlimited flexibility, and you have the ultimate system for the ice. In fact, it has such a vast amount of features that we put together a list of the 5 things that you probably didn’t even realize you can do with the RT-9 2.0.
The NEW RT-9 2.0 packs all of the incredible features of the original RT-9 but with a significantly longer run time, updated software and circuitry, an improved docking cradle, and the Navionics + USA and Canada Chip included.
With November right around the corner, it’s time for ice anglers to start prepping for the hardwater season. That’s why MarCum Technologies will be at this year’s JT Winter Reveal. At this event we will be showcasing many of our products for this upcoming ice season, including our entire flasher lineup, the new accessories for the Lithium Shuttle, as well as our new power options to charge your batteries and to power your systems.
Sometimes the easiest way to record underwater footage is to simply use your phone. That’s why MarCum has created the PanCam, a mobile controlled camera that will work wherever, and whenever, you need it. There is no need for external recorders, excess cables, or SD cards. With the PanCam, mobile recording has never been easier.
When electronic units won’t charge, it can be frustrating for any angler. From batteries to chargers, to the system itself, it can seem confusing to determine what went wrong with your electronics and how to fix it. That’s why we have put together this quick battery troubleshooting guide. We break down each part of the charging system and step you through how to identify the problem and replace the parts if needed.
