Just Bought my Vex FL-18 Ultra Pack!!!!
« on: Feb 23, 2004, 06:32 PM »
I am so psyched about going out and trying it out on the Ice.......8)

Drove to the new Cabela's Mega Store in Hamburg, PA...talked quite a bit with the salesman about local lakes and stuff like that. What a place, and the aquarium is AWESOME, some biggies in there!!!

We started talking about the Vex, I was looking at the Genz FL-18, when the good salesman said "If your gonna get a Genz Pack FL-18, you may as well just choke up the extra $60 and get the Ultra Pack"

I agreed...man, I can't wait to get ouy there and GETEEEEEEEEEMMMMMMMMMM!!!!

Hi Lou-- I hope that your new baby helps more than Operaman's  or maybe it was just the time, pressure, lake, location, or people he was fishing with. LOL  ;D ;D

On another note, are you coming up to the Pack on the 6th for the Rodeo?
 Let me know.
Seriously good luck with the Vex. You beat me to it.

Lottie,
Let me tell you what. I had the best day on the Ice I have had all year. The Vex was an EXCELLENT investment, I mean, I watched fish watch, I saw Fish take my bait....it's just unreal how well it works. And for the best part, I caught the biggest perch I have ever landed on the Ice.....13" 1.36 lbs.........It's a FOOTBALL

Love Ice,
The first fish I caught was a nice Smallmouth Bass....I actually saw the freakin thing hit my bait on the Vex...I watched my little green line (jig) get consumed by a Giant Red line...it was AWESOME..and what a fight on 2lb test UltraLight jigging rod........I was sold that Instant!!!

The best part is...I can mount it on my Boat Too!!!!

That's one of the best investment you'll make when it comes too fishing.
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an  well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, A fishing pole in one hand, beer in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming \"WOO HOO, what a ride!

I saw them at work several times, on Boats and out Ice Fishing with other guys, but never had one in my Hole to actually see how well it works. This past year I've been out with several guys that had them, and I was sold just watching them have success with it.

It's all about the three L's

Lou-- Great Perch, I'm glad to see you are getting a dividend from your investment!!

Did you do that on the Pack ar down your way?

I saw your message on the rodeo board  glad to see you will be able to make it.

Let me know if you are staying or just up for the day.
Paul
