The bird ice 45 has been bullet proof since the first month they were released for sale. Never had a problem with it. It marks the smallest barrel swivel without a problem and makes ice fishing a fun experience. It is now my back up unit to the hds 5 gen 2.

Hi Nate! Really like fishing with my HDS 5's as well - hard to beat.
