i used and abused a fl8 for too many years to remember. they are a great machine. i have used a little green box. i have used the fl18 that i have now. i ordered a marcum which i am waiting on. each and every one of these units worked great. learn how to use them and you will love them. buy what your wallet can afford and as time goes on you will be able to upgrade. the best is in the eyes of the beholder. good luck and have fun.

no

They suck I have one and it's not what you think it would be.
It's not going to give you any advantage.
I'll be catching fish left and right stick that camera down there and wont catch a fish or see any.

Cameras have their advantages too - you can tell what kind of fish there are, what the bottom looks like (weeds), etc...

Very true, but I'd still get the flasher first.

i have a camera great for scouting out spots checking out structures ,but not helpful in stained water ,other draw back fishing deep ,well in my case i don't want to be fishing in 30-40' fow and get a walleye tangled in the camera cord this not at all fun

Buy the one that you can get a better deal on! They are very similar. I own both and they are fine units!

Keep it positive boys!

marcum! you get more for your money

LDB_Bass_Hunter · « **Reply #198 on:** Oct 23, 2011, 07:04 PM »

more features in the $300 price range with humminbird............ dual beam and zoom anywhere in the water column.

Gillgrabber · « **Reply #199 on:** Oct 23, 2011, 07:04 PM »

Showdown. Great unit for the money.

ice dawg · « **Reply #200 on:** Oct 23, 2011, 07:32 PM »

Lug nut and kite string. Biggest bang for your buck.

Just curious....
If you went to the store and they said, " we have blue paint and we have white paint, which one do you want" would you say " Ill take the green one?"

Only giving my 2 cents. Marcum of Vex is doesn't matter. They all work.....

VX-1 only has single beam and bottom lock zoom. Bird 35 can zoom anywhere.............. ...bigger screen!!!

Sorry, I thought he asked about Vexilar and Marcum,I musta missed his post asking about Birds.

GOOD LORD HERE WE GO AGAIN >>>> THEY ALL WORK VERY VERY WELL....

I have fish the original FL8 for years. I was fishing with my OLD fl8 next to an Ice 55 and i out fish his guy 2 to 1......I have fish and used many many of the new ones from all brands they all do cool stuff and can help you mark fish but you have to catch them.

Just buy the best one you can afford and you wont be sorry.
