Durability, dependability, ease of use, battery life. Panoptix is the only reason I see to switch, and that is quite a bit more expensive.
Other than superior battery life none of those features are exclusive to flashers.
Time will tell. Flasher is as simple as it gets, and will run for 3 days straight on 1 battery. Everyone is different, we all like what we like, use what you like and be happy.
My Humminbird Helix 5 runs for 36 hours on one charge.
Puzzles me too why some seem to cling to an obsolete technology. I find them very annoying to look at. I don't go fishing to stare at a screen and get a headache.
I'm just curious why people still shell out $400 for flasher nowadays? What makes them superior in any way to sonar which at the same cost delivers the same resolution, speed, and portability plus the benefit of chartplotters, and history of fish response to lures.
Yup. I don't get, that people don't get, that people get what they have and want because it's what they chose to get and use. Got it?
Obsolete? A one ounce lead weight attached to an alligator clip is obsolete. Flashers are still alive and well. Just ordered a new one...and can't wait to stare at it.
Who cares what people use.they are not writing my paycheck.some like tech,some dont.why do people think they need all that tech for pulling a fish thru a hole in the ice is crazy to me but i could give a rats a$$ what people fish with.call me grumpy today..lol
This is the best argument so far.
Hey I still do that too lol
Alright...you are Grumpy Today.
You're not grumpy Doc.You nailed it! Spiltmilt spilled his milk...he's the grumpy one.🤣
Reread the posts, and you will find several reasons to use a flasher. We “old-timers” know and appreciate durability and simplicity...and catching fish!
I have a marcum lx5i and love it. It's simple, turn the nob on and go. Maybe get crazy and put the zoom on if I'm over 20' of water. I want to be fishing not fiddling around. I don't need gps as I know where I'm going. There's a reason why a lot of people still buy them. I have also seen many people with a sonar using flasher mode hmmmmmmmmmmm
