Humminbird ICE HELIX 5 CHIRP GPS G3 - Sonar/GPS All-Season Product Description
Imagine drilling your hole on a frozen lake, dropping your line, and instantly spotting fish lurking beneath the ice with pinpoint clarity. The Humminbird ICE HELIX 5 CHIRP GPS G3 All-Season delivers that edge, packing pro-level sonar and GPS into a compact setup that fits right in your 5-gallon bucket. What sets it apart? It's not just for winter warriors—switch seamlessly to open-water adventures on your boat or kayak come spring. Anglers rave about its crisp imaging that turns guesswork into precision strikes, helping you fill the livewell faster whether you're chasing walleye through the ice or bass in summer shallows.
Unlock Smarter Fishing with Cutting-Edge Sonar Tech
This unit shines in revealing the underwater world like never before. Dual Spectrum CHIRP sonar paints individual fish, baitfish schools, and subtle structure with 3/4-inch target separation—down to 400 feet. No more confusing echoes; see suspended crappies or bottom-hugging perch clearly on both flasher-style and classic 2D views. Tackle busy lakes with CHIRP Interference Rejection, dialing in one of six levels to cut through rival signals from nearby anglers.
Zoom in tight with adjustable sonar zoom: 2X on the flasher for jigging finesse, or crank it to 16X on 2D to inspect that promising hump. And for glow jig enthusiasts, Jig Charge Mode lights up your lures in seconds, keeping you in the action without missing a bite.
Navigate and Map Like a Pro
Built-in precision GPS eliminates "where did I catch that monster?" moments. Mark hotspots as waypoints, follow GPS tracks back safely as daylight fades, and rely on the enhanced Humminbird Basemap for over 10,000 lakes—spotting contours, hazards, marinas, and more.
Take mapping further with AutoChart Live ICE: Generate real-time 1-foot contour charts on the fly. Highlight depth zones, shallow water, or offset for fluctuating levels, just like premium LakeMaster charts. Save it all via the microSD slot for future trips or software tweaks.
Crystal-Clear Viewing and Rugged Portability
The 5-inch high-definition LCD glows with 800x480 resolution and 256 colors, staying readable in harsh fish house light or blinding sun. Adjustable brightness ensures you never squint at depth readouts, sonar returns, or GPS data.
Portability is king: The included shuttle mount and soft carrying case manage cables neatly, shielding your gear during treks across the ice. Powered by a 9Ah battery and charger, it runs strong all day. Best part? It's all-season ready—transom-mount transducer and gimbal setup included for boat duty.
