I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

FAQs:

Is this responsive with a jig

Yes, You can certainly watch your jig while ice fishing. See this article that also has an image that a customer sent in: https://support.norcrossmarine.com/hc/en-us/articles/360045152253-Can-you-you-see-the-jig-on-the-FishTrax-1C-while-icefishing-

Does this one use the AA batteries?

It uses 4 AAA batteries.

Like to find out if the hawkeye ft1px fishtrax portable dot matrix fish finder would work while trolling at a slow speed

Hi. Nope. Have three of these. That's with the stock transducer. BUT, they sell a high-speed transducer that I'm going to install shortly. Hope that helps, need to be at a standstill. Good hunting.....Paul

Can anyone tell me how long four AA batteries last in either the 1X or 1C? I'm assuming the 1C eats up batteries more than the 1X.

I have the 1C, It uses AAA not AA. A set will last about 6 hours. That's non-stop use. I wanted to make an AA converter to get a longer run time because when we're out fishing, we won't be back at camp for 8 to 10 hours. I would always use good name brand batteries. you can chew through batteries.
