OK, I am looking to get a new FL20. Why should I look into the VPG first. What are the pros/cons. What about battery life especially when in ice mode using a resistance heater? It does seem to be smaller and lighter than a vex which is always good. I am on the fence.
thanks Neptune. I heard about the "Ice mode" thing about a week or so ago and it has really changed my outlook on the unit....I was getting a little annoyed with how it worked especially in water deaper than 15' I would lose my jig at the drop of a hat and the unit itself seemed to do some wierd stuff but since I've kept it on ice mode it has been working like advertised. I'll wait to hear the verdict on the update as I MAY be intereseted in getting mine done.
any of you have a fuse problem? my kid has one and I thought it was great till one day on the ice it just wouldnt come on he looked so depressed and I thought he was gonna trhrow it on the lake! come to find out it was the fuse that blew and cant see how or why
I keep hearing everyone say the plastic arm that hangs the transducer is fragile and prone to breakage. What would happen if you DIDN'T use it? Would the transducer hang crooked and not work or something? I see guys with other brands of flashers not using them all the time. Is the Showdown different in that respect?
I should also point out that the Vexilar guys from my previous post didn't have any serious issues from the Showdown either.
i hate mine this year in shallow water it gets to much feedback and in deep water works fine so if you are fishing shallow forget it, deep water it works ok but i never fish the deep
