I was very happy with mine as well but the LX-5 is just remarkable.You're right that competition is beneficial to us all ! I wouldn't be surprised if Vex introduces something new next season.
I would be surprised if Vexilar has anything new (Okay folks at Vexilar - Here's your challange!!). They seem to be happy with what they have. I know that helps keep costs down but their prices don't reflect them taking advantage of mass producing unchanged models. Marcum on the other hand, has ran with the wind in seeing the needs of the fishermen and keeps pushing ahead with improved features, and quality. I love my Vexilar FL8-SLT but they are about to be eaten up by the competition.My hat's off to the folks at Marcum.Great review LW!
Just consider depth when buying one of these units folks. Don't make the mistake of buying one and then finding out you can't see bottom in 170fow when you're jigging lake trout which doesn't apply to a lot of people but it's a consideration for some. I'm not sure of the MAX depth range with the Marcum but for the fishing we do here it won't work because it doesn't go deep enough where the FL-18 does the job from 200' to 2' and is a more versatile unit when combined with the dual beam tranducer that allows you to switch cone angles from 9 to 19 degree in one nice package. Good review Lone Wolf and how deep does that LX-5 read? I though maybe 120'
Oh lonewolf Im just wondering what kind of dollar you get for that ghost writting job.....JUST JOKING!Nice to see someone doing a non biased write up after hearing VEX..VEX..VEX all of the time.At least up here in Canada.Actually where im from i see very little fishermen/women using any type of flasher.thanks
Gander, what are you talking about? You're still running an 8.
Picked Up my LX 5 yesterday at Cabelas in Dundee MI. Super impressed with the workmanship. Now I have to sneak out of the house when the "old lady" isn't lookin and try it out!
