Vexilar is really something !!!!!!!
« on: Dec 21, 2005, 11:49 AM »
 
 I purchased a Vex flasher at the end of last years ice fishing season,and then the warm rains came.
 Only got to use it once,with early ice this year my Vex has already been out looking for biters.
 I must say this flasher is really something,I can't believe I ice fished all these years without it.
 If there is anyone out there looking for a flasher,Vexilar is the way to go,they are not cheap,but
 well worth the money.It will locate fish ,the rest is up to us. Happy Holiday's  FISH ON !!!!!!!!!

use a vex because there the best !!!!   fl-8 & fl-18, can't fish without them!
If people concentrated on the really important things in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles.

What unit do you use?  I am very close to "pulling the trigger" :) :)

I know this is not the best time of year to purchase, but after reading all of this, how can you not do it!!

Thanks & Best of luck

The way I see it you can't afford not to buy one.  If I only have 2-3 hrs to fish I feel very confident I can bring some fish home.  Before, I would never go unless I had most of the day to find em and catch em.  I think back of all the days I sat and probably fished a dead hole or a hole with inactive fish.  It's worth every penny...but you still need the skills to catch em.

I remember those days of just sitting there and wondering if there is a fish in the area. Wow what bad old memories.

VEXILARS ARE NICE UNITS BUT I WENT AND PURCHASED A GS-X TODAY AND WENT OUT.
IT'S CHEAPER AND WORKS JUST AS GOOD TO ME.
IN NO WAY AT ALL AM I KNOCKING THE VEXILAR, JUST GIVING MY $.02  ;)
GOOD LUCK AND I'M SURE YOU'LL BE HAPPY WITH WHATEVER UNIT YOU BUY!

 :)I just upgraded  from an fl-8 to fl-18 this Christmas . I mainly  did this for the zoom that is on  fl-18 . When perch fishing in 40’ it is hard to make out the bottom 6’ on the fl-8. The fl-8 is good to about 30’. I noticed that some one said that you can get an fl-8 for $279 . That  is getting the Genz Pack with 7amp battery(Vexilar Pack has 9amp) , the Genz holder, and no accessories . You only get what you pay for and I have found no deals on Vexilar.

Bret,
 I totally agree,the Vex greatly increases you chances of catching fish.I think of all the years fishing without
 a flasher,you can't catch em if there not there. Good Luck out there.............
