Finally!
« on: Feb 27, 2017, 06:42 PM »
I just purchased a new to me (1 season old) Vexilar Fl-8se Genz pack for a really good deal. I know it isn't a fancy unit by any means but it's going to give me enough to make my time on the ice much more enjoyable. Hardwater season is over here in Iowa, but I can't wait till next season! I finally feel like I'm set up now!

I'm sure I will be very happy with it. I am going to add the battery and digital depth indicator on it.  What do you think about the soft case?

I found that Walmart had the best price on the digital battery and depth unit. When I got mine at the beginning of this season.

You will be addicted to your Vex! Congratulations!

Personally I think the soft cases kind of suck a lot! IMHO  I transport mine in a short ? gal bucket with a lid. Not sure of the gallons but probably 3 gallon bucket. Protects it during transport and then pull it out and use it all day. When done back in the bucket with lid on and off I go.

I use a bucket for my FL8SE, I just bought a FLX28 with the case and don't care for it. That also went into the bucket!
