sitting around my garage thinking of the money it will cost me for the carriage and softpck that Cabelas screwed me out of

knew i had an old skilsaw case around somewhere. this thing is tough ! could really protect my flasher

so i stat thinking i can make a flasher case but its kind of big $:-\$ but then again nice and roomy say if i wanted to add a jigbox

maybe a pair of needle nose connected by a cord so i wont drop down the hole. got the rubber stop on the transducer wire so i can slide it up and down. a rodholder strategically placed to hang it in the hole. another rodholder to put my rod in while im taking my jig out of the fish's mouth!!

even a slot for the manual til i figure out how to use this contraption

how about a light for crappie fishing outside the shack!

introducing the billditrite complete hi tech redneck fishing system

seems as though some of your best ideas come from your garage time

billditrite · « **Reply #7 on:** Oct 09, 2005, 09:11 AM »

I've seen your garage.... It IS a man's room.... Argh, Argh, Argh!!!

Scott, does the top only open half-way, or all the way? If all the way, you should add a tether with a handle so you can pick the whole box up while it's open while you are hole-hopping.

yeah mike it flips open completely and thats exactly what i need to do but im waiting to get my battery in rather than the styrofoam replica you see in the pic. once the weight is right then ill know exactly where to put the handle

thx for the input...im new to this flasher thing LOL

the vex comes in a hard case and when you want to put it away you put it in a 5 gallon bucket
it's pretty sweet

marcum has them too. i didnt want to pay the extra money...ill see how this works. hows the zoom on the vex? does it zoom just the bottom 6 ft or can you zoom in on any 6 ft in the water column like my marcum? i cant wait for ice to make some real comparisons between these rigs

Bassbug · « **Reply #16 on:** Oct 18, 2005, 04:21 PM »

The zoom depends on the model you have some have it some don't

billditrite · « **Reply #17 on:** Oct 18, 2005, 05:33 PM »

what does yours have? is it a fl18?

billditrite · « **Reply #18 on:** Oct 19, 2005, 05:19 AM »

i am gonna build a couple tip downs this year. the guys who use them say they work great for crappie. i guess its something else to keep me busy till ice gets here. since i dont hunt im gonna depend on you folks to fill the freezer LOL you are doing a fine job so far!!

Bassbug · « **Reply #19 on:** Oct 19, 2005, 12:29 PM »
