I use the 80/20 rule you need 80% of the tackle to catch 20% of the fish

IF i could only buy one I would buy the vex first. It will make your search for good water and fish faster. It will show you depth, weeds, bottom hardness, fish and bait fish. The camera is great for after you find fish and want to know what they are responding to and spiecies. Just my 2 cents.

water clarity seems to be an issue with the aqua vu. the "murkier" the water, the less you see. i used one once, and to be quite honest, was very impressed with it. but my vexilar located the fish and i already add a mess when a guy let me play around with his aqua vu. the last i knew the vexilar was cheaper and can be used more effectively from a boat also. but i am biased.....

Take it from a long time "ROOKIE",a Vexilar is a Ice fishing"TOOL",a Aqua View is a Ice fishing "TOY"
Without a doubt,invest in the Vexilar,you'll never regret it,

We now use both on the ice. The Vu is cool tool to have on the ice. It is a blast to watch the fish and see how they react in there own habbitat to your presentation. I have bee totally amazed how that camera has no affect on the fish. We have seen some awsome stuff with the Aqua Vu, but having said that, I would never ever trade it in for my vex. And, You can't see the fish until you find them. When you want to run and gun and look for fish, you need the vex. The vu takes too long to get set up to be used as a fish finder, it is a fish watcher.

The problem i see happen with the Aqua Vu is water clarity, and when you do hook up the fish winding around the cable like a dog tied to a tree LOL. Go with the Vexilar you wont regret it!!

I agree with all the above , go with the vex first , you can find the bottom humps , weeds and fish a lot sooner/easier with the vex. After that is when it's time to play with the Vu. Water clarity DOES have a lot to do with what u can see with the Vu , with that being said , you can't just drop the camera fast down the hole to see whats there , if you do you'll hit bottom and stir up all the muck and have to wait 10 -20 mins before things clear up enough to start seeing anything.
