My nephew has the ColorPoint and loves it!I have the Zercom Clearwater Classic(about 10yrs old)and it's great.My friend has the Vexilar Fl-8 and he swears by it.I think it boils down to using the unit and getting used to it.Once you understand it everything falls into place!Good luck, Doug >))))>

Lone Wolf,
What kind of readout is on your Clearwater Classic. I may have the opportunity to bye one of a friend and was wondering what are some pros and cons to it. I have never used electronics for fishin throught the ice and was wondering too how hard it would be for me to learn how to use it. Let me know. See ya on the ice!!!!

Hi Moe,
I haven't had to many complaints about my Clearwater. It is a liquid crystal flasher(real time response)and functions the same as the Vexilars etc. with the exception it is not a three color flasher.It is what they call a grey scale flasher.The stronger the signal the darker it will be-weaker will be grey(as weeds).Also the larger the object the larger the signal on the screen.Also a lot less noisy than true flashers.
The only problem I had was with the faceplate(screen).Some liquid got on it and distorted the face-Zercom replaced it for free.
I hope this helps! Tight Lines,
Doug >))))>

I've got a ColorPoint by Zercom, and I really like it. I also have caught a lot of fish. I like the 600 watts of power and the 1/2" seperation it has. Too bad Humming Bird bought them out. Does anyone know thier web address?

Hey guys,

I just bought a Vexilar FL-18 pro pack for ice fihsing. I haven't used it at all yet but it came with a video of Dave Genz showing how to use it and it looks impressive. The system is a little pricey but is supposed to be the best flasher on the market

The new Vexilar FL18 which has split screen showing the entire water column on the right side and just the bottom 6 ft on the left side of the screen is Outstanding !! The clarity is very good and being able to see your actual bait and/or fish within just a few inches of the bottom is really something. Price is around $399 for the Pro Pac unit but its a excellent flasher winter or summer. I fish 3 to 4 days a week and love this unit.

I think the best place to buy a VEXILAR FL-18 would be CABELAS,,,$369.00 plus shipping. I have the fl-18 and it is totaly awsome.I would recomend it to any ice fisherman.
