MyFishFinder.com Just like iceshanty but warmer
Thanks for the responses guys. The sun was my big question.Now, to stray from the original topic - any features that you consider as "must haves" once you leave the base FL-8 model? Also, you guys preferring the Pro Pack, Ultra Pack or Genz Pack?
Had a look at them at the store this evening. From what I saw, you need to purchase any model in an Ultra or Pro Pack to have the digital depth/battery life indicator included. That's a $50 add-on other wise. Another feature I think I'd like is the low-power for shallower places, which I do fish regularly. Do you guys like this, or have you just added the suppression cable to your FL-8 models? Thoughts? Anyone looking to upgrade - PM me:~)
my fl20 has a separate low power setting for shallow water or weedy areas.then 20ft scale on up.in shallow water I still use the 20 ft. setting instead of low power mode unless the screen has a bunch of clutter then I would use low power mode.
I have went from a FL18>FL22HD>FLX28. By far I LOVE the display and color options on the FLX28. Not to mention there are MANY other nice features on the 28. Just my 2 cents.
be careful with the 28 .... my understanding is it is only for shallow water??
28 is up to 300feet. You may be confusing it with the 22hd which if memory serves me was maxed at 60 foot.
i just wish vex would make all the screen as big as a humminbird. Not that i like humminbird at all......i have a fl18. I also have a 35 bird.
I have a fl18 and 20, also 2 marcums lx3tc's, I would not by a flasher without a hooded screen, they are just to hard to see outside, and now I wouldn't buy anything other than a made in Japan Vexilar!
So you like the FL18 better than the FL20 then?
Anyone know if the Hummingbird ICE55's have the same issue without the shield?
