I hear ya when you say you want a flasher that gets the job done but dont need bells or whistles. After you buy the cheapest one and see others guys finders, you might start thinking, "Hmmmm, maybe a couple bells and a small whistle.' You can always go to Walmart and get a LCd for less than $100. This will tell you there were fish down there and depth but not if fish are down there right now. In the long run, a flasher is going to pay you back in fish. I have not heard of a flasher that will not get the job done. Dont listen to all the bellyaching about which one is best. Pick one that suits you. You might have to spend more than you wanted to in the first place. But you want to catch more fish or you wouldnt be looking for a fish finder. If you buy a flasher the first time, you wont have to buy it when the cheap LCD doesnt get the job done.
