Ice fishing season always brings a familiar ritual: getting electronics rigged, charged, mounted, and ready for months of hard use. For anglers running modern sonar, especially forward-facing systems, how you transport, power, and protect your unit matters just as much as the screen itself. That’s where the Fish Armor Pro Ultra Light Shuttle shines.
Designed to work seamlessly with units like the Humminbird XPLORE series, the Pro Ultra Light isn’t just another ice shuttle. It’s a fully modular, year-round electronics platform built for anglers who fish hard water and open water with the same setup.
What Is the Fish Armor Pro Ultra Light Shuttle?
The Fish Armor Pro Ultra Light Shuttle is the newest and lightest model in the Fish Armor shuttle lineup. It’s built to house modern sonar displays, forward-facing transducers, and high-capacity lithium batteries. All in a compact, ergonomic design that’s easy to move hole-to-hole.
Unlike traditional ice-only shuttles, this system is designed to transition effortlessly between seasons. With a universal mounting base, the Pro Ultra Light can be moved from ice fishing to a boat without rewiring or rebuilding your electronics setup.
Key Features of the Pro Ultra Light Design
The first thing you notice about the Pro Ultra Light is how streamlined it feels. Fish Armor focused heavily on ergonomics and portability without sacrificing durability.
Standout design features include:
- Ultra-light construction for easy carrying and run-and-gun fishing
- High-handle grip that’s easy to grab with gloves on
- Rugged frame built to handle cold, snow, and rough travel
- Open design that keeps controls, wiring, and ports accessible
This balance of weight and strength makes the Pro Ultra Light ideal for anglers who move often but still demand a rock-solid electronics platform.
The Pro Pole System: Built for Forward-Facing Sonar
A major advantage of the Fish Armor system is the Pro Pole. This aluminum pole uses an internal wire-through design, allowing the transducer cable to exit cleanly from the top. That means no snagging, twisting, or grabbing while rotating the pole.
The Pro Pole is also telescopic, offered in three lengths:
- 36 inch – compact ice setups
- 60 inch – ideal for anglers switching between ice and open water
- 80 inch – deeper water or larger boats
For anglers running forward-facing sonar, this clean rotation and adjustable length make a noticeable difference in usability.
Power Management, Switches, and Built-In Accessories
One of the most impressive parts of the Pro Ultra Light Shuttle is how thoughtfully the power system is laid out.
On the front control panel, you’ll find:
- A dedicated USB power switch, turning the shuttle into a mobile power station
- Independent switches for the sonar screen and transducer
- An auxiliary accessory switch, perfect for optional lighting or add-ons
Fish Armor also includes a front charging port, making it easy to plug in and recharge without tearing the unit apart.
In the back, the battery compartment can accommodate up to a 50 amp-hour battery, providing more than enough power for a full day, or multiple days, on the ice.
True Year-Round Versatility
One of the biggest advantages of the Pro Ultra Light Shuttle is its ability to stay relevant all year long. The mounting base allows the entire unit to be transferred from:
- Ice fishing shuttle
- Boat electronics mount
- ATV/Snowmobile mounting plate
Instead of owning separate electronics setups for summer and winter, anglers can run one system, one screen, one power solution all year. That versatility saves time, money, and frustration, especially for anglers who fish frequently across seasons.
Who the Fish Armor Pro Ultra Light Is Built For
This shuttle is an excellent fit for:
- Run-and-gun ice anglers
- Forward-facing sonar users
- Multi-species anglers fishing year-round
- Anyone wanting a clean, professional electronics setup
If you’re tired of re-rigging electronics every season or hauling bulky shuttles across the ice, the Pro Ultra Light offers a smarter alternative.
A Stand Out Unit
The Fish Armor Pro Ultra Light Shuttle stands out because it’s not just lighter, it’s better designed. From the ergonomic handle and Pro Pole system to the thoughtful power management and true four-season versatility, this shuttle solves real problems modern anglers face.
For those running advanced sonar systems and fishing hard all year long, it’s one of the most complete and well-executed electronics shuttles available today.
