HUMMINBIRD® SCORES SIXTH CONSECUTIVE ICAST WIN
Humminbird® HELIX® 10 SI voted ICAST 2016 “Best of Electronics” by buyers and outdoors media
RACINE, WI (July 21, 2016): It was another record-breaking year for ICAST, as recently-released statistics from the American Sportfishing Association (ASA) report 15,000 industry professionals attended the show in Orlando, Florida, July 13-15.
2016 also marks a new milestone for Eufaula, Alabama-based fishing electronics manufacturer Humminbird. For the sixth year in row, the company was awarded “Best of Electronics” by attending buyers and media who cast their vote for the Humminbird HELIX® 10 SI.
“We are humbled that the industry has recognized the hard work of everyone from R&D to the factory floor to make this product a reality. Likewise, we extend our thanks to dealers, distributors, and customers who’ve really embraced the product,” said Ray Schaffart, Brand Manager, Humminbird.
He continued: “The HELIX 10 series started with customer feedback. From weekend anglers to pros, all users asked for common-sense features like an ultra-bright screen and an easy to use menu, while including proven technologies such as Side Imaging®, Down Imaging®, AutoChart™ Live, and LakeMaster cartography, along with Ethernet connectivity.”
Along those lines, anglers can select from three HELIX 10 systems that match their fishing needs, whether that means a SONAR/GPS combo unit, all the way up to the full complement of Side Imaging, Down Imaging, or both. All systems also feature AutoChart Live right out-of-the-box for immediate user-generated mapping; no server, cloud, or PC required. Maps literally appear in front of your eyes. Likewise, all HELIX 10 systems feature Ethernet connectivity for compatibility with 360 Imaging™ and Minn Kota® i-Pilot® Link™.
