When it comes to the ice fishing flashers world, Humminbird is a relatively Johnny come lately. While well accomplished on the soft water with their impressive line of Humminbird fish finders, the ice versions in the “birds” line have only been around for a few years. Thankfully their quality reputation is carried over into the ice fishing world. And to be sure, a flasher is a key part of your ice fishing gear and is not something to be screwed around with! Many people, myself included, would turn around and not fish if our flasher wasn’t working correctly on the ice. But on to this specific model, the Ice-45 is the middle version of the ice fishing flasher lineup from Humminbird.

Humminbird Ice-55 Review
Key Features of the Hummingbird Ice-45
Here is where the rubber hits the road. The Ice-45 has a slightly higher price tag than the baseline units from all the flasher companies (i.e. the Ice-35, Vexilar FL-8, and Marcum VX-1) and therefore would expect some added features. And this is the case. A flat screen is standard on these units. The center of the screen has a digital read out of the depth that is easy to read when hopping from hole to hole. In addition, the Ice-45 has a great feature that allows for adjustable zoom. The whole water column is shown on the right hand side of the screen, but the left hand side only show the portion of the water column that you are focusing on. Unlike the VX-1 (for those interested here is the Marcum VX-1 review) where it is the bottom 6 feet of the water column, the Ice-45 allows you to pick any part of the water column to be zoomed on. Similar to almost all of the modern flashers on the market, the Hummingbird Ice 45 has 3 colors to depict how big the object being reflected is (green is the smallest, yellow the medium and red the large).
Humminbird Ice-45 Prices
When it comes to buying a flasher this is often one of the first questions that people have. While the baseline units of all are about $300 to get into the game, the middle tier units also tend to be priced similarly. The Humminbird Ice 45 is normally priced around $400, if you can find it for less than that you are doing well and should go about it. If you can find a Humminbird Ice-45 model on Craigslist you are likely still going to pay near retail since these units are so new and widely popular. Anything for 25% off retail I would consider good. You can often find good deals for these units from sellers on Ebay that are selling new units for good prices. I would check their first personally.
My recommendation on the Humminbird Ice-45 Flasher
If it were my money to plunk down in buying a flasher I personally would either save the $100 and go with a baseline unit (VX-1, Ice 35 or FL8) or step up and get a top of the line unit (FL-20 or FL-22, LX-5, or Ice 55). This middle unit offers some additional bells and whistles, but there is not enough there to pick it over the Ice 35 for me.
