What degree transducer is best for ice fishing?

The high frequency transducer (like a 400 kHz), is better suited to inland fishing or shallow water applications, because the power loss can be noticeable in water deeper than 40 feet. High frequencies are best for giving you great bottom detail and are common with narrow cone angled transducers.
