MyFishFinder.com Just like iceshanty but warmer
A buddy emailed Vexilar last week about buying the FLX 28 and asked the same question. Vexilar emailed back and said you can NOT swap the Proview for the Tribeam. I have be thinking about buying the FLX 28 myself, but don't like the idea of turning up the gain to change the cone. More gain equals more interference. I don't see how it would not.
vexilar built the flx28 around the proview,basically its why they come with them.fwiw.i have never lost my jig at any depth with the proview or tribeam on any model vexilar tho.3mm fiska.
Go fish over 50 feet with a tribeam on your 28 and that'll change. lol
I could but I'm a pro view guy.i will leave my tri beam on my fl20. the flx28 and the proview is a great fish catching machine.
Ugh. I'm on my second season with my FL-22HD and pro view. The pro view is okay in deeper water, but I am struggling in 10' and shallower. Yes, I have tried low power and 20' range (FL-22HD has 6 manual depth ranges. Zero to 10’, 20’, 30’, 40’, 50’, and 60’). The 22 doesn't not have "weed mode". Yesterday in 9' I drilled a second hole for the transducer an inch away from my jigging hole because the bluegills keeps wrapping up in the cable. Even that close to the transducer, I had a heck of a time seeing my jig, and I played with the settings a lot.I think I may buy a Tri-Beam. I'll keep the pro view and do some comparing. Even in deeper water I get fish that just appear right before they hit. Personally, not sure I like a 9 deg transducer. I have watched all the Vexilar videos and read all the discussions, so please don't tell me I don't know what I am doing. I have over 36 years in the electronics profession, and I understand a bit about how transducers work. I should have swapped for a tri beam when new, but I wanted to make the pro view work.Or maybe a 12 deg would be a good compromise?
Try an "S-cable". Worked for me.
You were able to get nice thin lure returns in 9-14' of water?
