MyFishFinder.com Just like iceshanty but warmer
I like my marcum lx5. Don’t buy an lx7 with lithium shuttle. Not worth the price and the battery is junk. Getting ready to fight with marcum a second time. Depending on how things go, my next flasher will most likely not be marcum.
Flasher for me guess I'm old and not willing to change. I Just don't get the benefit of looking at some weird hook on a lcd or the argument of viewing history of what was around a min prior, who cares its not there now Flasher does the same thing but in real time no delays. Delays = missed fishLet the battlebegin whats better.
The delay is so slight the human eye can’t pick it out , this subject comes up every year ,
Flasher guys have to try and justify spending more money on an obsolete product. The flasher doesn't indicate when a fish bites anyway, your rod tip does.
My LX-5 sees fish perfectly thru weeds. It never lies. My buddy with a Vex thought I was pulling his leg because he couldn't see anything but weeds. but the catching proved otherwise.I have seen crayfish at 52 ft. deep and I know this because I caught them! For my type of fishing it's the Bomb. if the LX-5 dies some day then Ill have a decision to make!
Pretty sure I’m that buddy and if so I don’t know what your talking about.Does the LX 5 work fine sure but when you tell me you’re seeing fish in weeds at 60’ and your not in zoom mode I just chalk it up to 420 lol
Man I ignored everyone’s suggestions including my own went with the Helix 5!
I have an LX5i and a Bird Helix 5. The digital marcums are junk IMO. Between my brothers and I, we picked up two LX6's and an LX9. Can't stand the LX6's. I have also owned a Lowrance -- hated that the most.
Good buy! Got one last season, the ice package like you have pictured. I was a flasher guy decided to try something new. Just couldn’t get the hang of the graph. Main reason for the purchase was to have a unit for all seasons. So bought a TM transducer so I could use it on my little boat. Determined to figure out the graph I spent several frustrating trips with little success. So I gave up and brought up the split screen gave me some really good insight. I am dialed into the flasher been using for years. So looking at the graph and comparing that to what was on the flasher really helped! As for the old school new school argument who cares! I don’t care what kind of pickup you drive either! Bring on the ice!Keep it safe! JDL
I have two lx5, one has been bullet proof, one I had to send in, they fixed it free, even after warranty. Hope they take care of you
Lets not forget the artical by Nathan Zelinsky that Marcum's scare big fish!
My Marcum didn’t scare these! :(Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)
