Lowrance Ice Transducer f/HOOK² 4x

Transform your ice fishing adventures with the Lowrance Ice Transducer designed specifically for the HOOK² 4x fishfinder. This compact, rugged puck-style sensor punches through thick ice to deliver reliable sonar readings, helping you pinpoint walleye, perch, crappie, and other species lurking beneath the surface. Whether you're drilling holes on a frozen lake or targeting deep-water structures, this transducer brings the clarity and precision Lowrance anglers expect from decades of sonar innovation.

Key Specifications That Matter on the Ice

Crafted for harsh winter conditions, this transducer operates at 200 kHz with a focused 20-degree beam angle, ideal for scanning tight ice holes without losing detail. It reaches depths up to 500 feet, giving you confidence in everything from shallow bays to deeper basins. The durable plastic housing withstands freezing temperatures and rough handling, while full waterproofing ensures it performs flawlessly when dropped into the hole.

• Frequency: 200 kHz for sharp, detailed returns in ice fishing scenarios
• Beam Width: 20 degrees – narrow cone for precise fish location in limited spaces
• Maximum Depth: 500 feet, versatile for various ice fishing depths
• Material: Tough plastic built to endure ice and cold
• Mount: Ice puck design for quick deployment through drilled holes

Why Ice Anglers Choose This Transducer

Unlike general-purpose transducers, this one shines in ice fishing by supporting high CHIRP-like performance at its fixed frequency, revealing bottom hardness, fish arches, and even subtle baitfish schools. It's easy to install – simply attach the cable to your HOOK² 4x, drop the puck into the hole, and start fishing. No complex transom setups needed; it's ready for portable shelters or tip-ups.

Real-world benefits include reduced guesswork: spot suspended fish faster, identify thermoclines, and even mark structure like weed edges or drop-offs. Anglers report cleaner separations between fish and bait, crucial when jigging aggressively. Paired with the HOOK² 4x's simple interface, you'll spend less time fiddling with settings and more time reeling in catches.

Installation and Usage Tips for Success

Setting up is straightforward. Connect the transducer cable directly to your fishfinder's rear port – no adapters required for HOOK² 4x compatibility. Drill a 6-8 inch hole, lower the puck to suspend it 1-2 feet off bottom, and adjust sensitivity for optimal ice views. Pro tip: In murky water under ice, bump up the colorline to highlight fish better. For multi-hole setups, use a portable battery pack to keep things mobile.

Maintenance is minimal – rinse with freshwater after use to prevent mineral buildup, store dry, and avoid extreme bends in the cable. This keeps it performing like new season after season, backed by Lowrance's commitment to quality.

Enhance Your Ice Fishing Setup

Integrate this transducer into your portable flasher or full graphing system for hybrid views. It's perfect for solo anglers or small groups, fitting neatly in a sled or bucket. Combine with GPS for marking hot holes, and you'll build a library of productive spots. Serious ice fishermen value its reliability when electronics matter most – no signal dropouts or fuzzy images to frustrate your day.
