Here is a LINK with some more information about the FLX-28. Pretty sweet looking flasher!

Doesn't look like much to me.

Ok...

I'm not bashing, but unless that weed mode is ground breaking, there's nothing new here and for the price, the competition offers many more features.

That depends on what unit u r using. The 28 offers 5' depth adjust digital depth readout brushless weed mode and 2adjustable zoom settings. So if you were looking at buying a FL 22 and the 28 is just a few bucks more it is something to consider. By the way it sounds like u r a Marcum guy I'm not bashing

I will have to see some more info on it and some first hand experience to see how it works first. I bought an Fl22HD head unit the other year but kept my Fl-18 in case I want to fish deep water. Looks like the FLX-28 is replacing the Fl-22HD. Since the FLX-28 has a 300' range I may consider selling off the Fl-18 for a 28 IF they offer the head unit only for sale. I am interested if the clarity and crispness of the screen is any different on the 28. Seems like they took features from the Fl-18 (bottom lock), Fl-20 and FL-22HD along with a couple of new things and came up with the 28. I do like the mini shroud on it.

Here is a link to the brochure pdf. http://vexilar.com/site/pdf/vexilar_brochure.pdf

"CS" is color setting mode. It lets you toggle between the five different palettes.

MarCum is still #1 with their LCD screen technology.

Vexilar will someday get there... maybe

Well this thread devolved pretty quickly after the start of ICAST. Suppose I should crack a brewski to go with the popcorn, as it looks like this thread has some potential.

It will use Vexilars current ice ducers, puck ducer and high speed ducers. So for ice you have the Tri Beam or 9 degree or 12 degree or 19 degree.

anderson_dc · « **Reply #41 on:** Jul 10, 2013, 08:10 PM »

It comes with the Proview transducer (modified 9).

jumbo chaser · « **Reply #42 on:** Jul 10, 2013, 09:11 PM »

Ya preview transducer

From what I can see I'm not realy that impressed. The "digital" display looks just like the old Vexilars minus the wording.

I was hoping for something that was as all digital as the Marcum VX6-7s.

Hopefully when I see it in person I will change my mind.

I'm a what ever suites me best guy. Brand loyalty is pathetic. I fished Vexilar 13 years before finally finding something that suited me better and switching brands.

Dog-duster · « **Reply #45 on:** Jul 11, 2013, 08:05 PM »

The electronics look underwhelming for the new "digital" title but I think Vex is still hesitant to jump off and make a vertical or graphing display. The bag looks nice enough and I wonder how the clear front in will work on the ice and hold up over time.

jumbo chaser · « **Reply #46 on:** Jul 11, 2013, 10:46 PM »

The preview ice ducer is adjustable with the gain button same as always

da man cave shack · « **Reply #47 on:** Jul 11, 2013, 10:56 PM »

I am not impressed by the pics. I would still go with a marcum if I were to switch to digital but for now I will stick with my H-bird.

jumbo chaser · « **Reply #48 on:** Jul 11, 2013, 10:57 PM »

Does anyone nNo how much and where to buy one ?.? I m ready to up grade

jumbo chaser · « **Reply #49 on:** Jul 11, 2013, 11:00 PM »

Where can I see one and get a price ?..?

I called Polk city bait but the older guy wasn't there so no answer on price yet . Vexilar has it on web now it looks like a good upgrade

anderson_dc · « **Reply #50 on:** Jul 12, 2013, 06:35 AM »

$599 for the Pro Pack and $649 for the Ultra Pack; both include a soft carrying case.

74redone · « **Reply #51 on:** Jul 12, 2013, 06:43 AM »

I see vexilar makes a digital depth/battery indicator as an add on to existing units called the DD 100 . I couldn,t find any outlet to purchase or locate a price and not available on their website as of yet.

Is the new Vex. FLX28 replacing the FL-22HD?

I don't see Vexilar sells/advertises the fl-22HD

I looks like it is. From what I see the only thing the FLX-28 does not have that the FL-22HD does have is the manual 60' depth setting. It is "auto" on the 28.

anderson_dc · « **Reply #57 on:** Jul 14, 2013, 06:02 PM »

The 28 won't be available till later this fall; no one has them in stock at this time.

jumbo chaser · « **Reply #58 on:** Jul 14, 2013, 09:17 PM »

I got one coming its going to be here next week and it has 5 ft dept settings only manual

meatman · « **Reply #59 on:** Jul 17, 2013, 10:24 AM »

looks a lot like a Marcum.
