Anyone know what helix shuttle they were using on the devils lake ido episode? Liked the look of it with the rod holders.

They’re awesome. Here’s the link to more info. Humminbird Helix Shuttle

I was thinking about upgrading from my vexilar 28 to one of these new Humminbird units however I’m a little intimidated by technology.

Are these plug and play like a vexilar or marcum?

Anyone care to go over what settings should be used?

They are easy as a flasher. I run Garmin and even setting up the livescope was self explanatory. My buddies that run hbird all said they are easy.

I just looked at it on hummingbirds site and it looks allot better than the old ones, BUT if I read it correctly it is $399 for the shuttle alone. No graph obviously but no battery for four hundred bucks. I know inflation is out of control but that is ridiculous. I see it comes with the basic ducer so $300 for the plastic holder? They might sell, but not to the type of people I fish with.

And there out of stock everywhere I looked for them. Waldo you get the transducer with them too.

you can make your own for around $150 if you have some skill. love the factory ones this year but not for $399! that can’t be right? my custom shuttle has everything i wanted for roughly $150.

Mine came with an 18ah lithium and ice Xducer. Spendy but with the batt it was well worth it.

Come to think of it…I got the Mega Live ice conversion. That is the one with the battery. Sorry to get hopes up.
