Advanced Ice Fishing Features
Dual Spectrum CHIRP Sonar
Experience sonar clarity like never before. CHIRP technology sends multiple frequencies simultaneously, providing detailed images of fish, bait, and bottom structure that traditional sonar simply cannot match. See individual fish targets, distinguish between game fish and baitfish, and track your lure in real-time.
SwitchFire Sonar Technology
Take complete control of your sonar display with two distinct viewing modes. Adjust for different water conditions, depths, and fishing situations at the touch of a button. Perfect for varying ice fishing conditions throughout the day.
Digital Flasher & Traditional Views
Choose between high-speed digital flasher mode for real-time ice fishing action or traditional 2D sonar view for detailed bottom structure analysis. Customize your display with up to 8x zoom capability for precision fishing.
Built-in Temperature Monitoring
Monitor water temperature with the included temperature sensor. Set temperature alarms to alert you to changing conditions that affect fish behavior and feeding patterns.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the battery last during ice fishing?
The included 12V 9Ah battery typically provides 6-8 hours of continuous operation, depending on display brightness and sonar usage. The efficient 600mA power draw ensures all-day fishing capability for most ice fishing trips.
What's the difference between CHIRP and traditional sonar?
CHIRP sonar transmits multiple frequencies simultaneously rather than a single frequency pulse. This provides significantly better target separation, clearer fish identification, and superior bottom detail. You'll see individual fish that traditional sonar would display as a single blob.
Can I use this unit on my boat during open water season?
Absolutely! The Ice Helix 5 CHIRP GPS G2 is compatible with all HELIX 5 CHIRP GPS transducers. Simply install a boat transducer, change the setting to "Open Water" mode, and you have a full-featured fish finder for your boat.
How does the GPS help with ice fishing?
Built-in GPS allows you to mark productive fishing spots, navigate safely back to your vehicle, and create waypoints for structures, holes, and successful fishing areas. The Humminbird Basemap shows underwater contours and over 10,000 lake maps to help you find fish-holding structure.
Will this work in extreme cold temperatures?
Yes, the Ice Helix 5 CHIRP GPS G2 is specifically designed for ice fishing conditions. The LCD display and electronics are rated for cold weather operation. However, battery performance may be reduced in extreme cold, so consider keeping spare batteries warm when temperatures drop below 0°F.
How deep can this unit read through ice?
The 500W RMS power output allows the unit to effectively read through thick ice and reach maximum depths of 400 feet. The CHIRP technology provides excellent target separation and clarity even in deep water applications.
