to grow. And with it, more anglers are turning to Humminbird for three formidable, built-in technologies: high-speed LCD flasher, Precision GPS and Humminbird LakeMaster charts.
New for 2015, Humminbird brings ice anglers the new 688ci HD Ice Combo which offers tons of fish-finding power in one unit, plus faster processing, improved screen brightness and functionality optimized for the rigors of ice fishing.
Right out of the gate, the ICE 688 features a high-speed LCD with digital depth read-out to remove guesswork and Precision GPS to help you find and return to productive spots. Optional Humminbird LakeMaster charts provide structural detail of high-probability fish-holding locations. Each is also compatible with Humminbird AutoChart™ to utilize custom maps created during open water, as well Navionics® Gold/HotMaps™.
