The hard plastic magnifying cover for the Fl-8 and Fl-18?

I have one but don't use it because it causes distortion towards the outside of the dial. It limits the viewing angle quite a bit so you have to position the unit to be looking straight at to get no distortion.

Heavy duty Saran Wrap and a rubber band......2 layers thick.....cheap and easily replaced if damaged.

I think it works pretty good  have not really noticed any distortion butdoes keep snow out and keeps scratches down.isnt it hard to see through the coffee can

Love plugging this site, but check out sportsmensdirect.com. They have a lens cover that is flat and cuts out the glare. You'll find it under fishing>ice fishing>sonic ice hopper system. $9.99 can't go wrong.

I've used one for a lot of years. It works good to keep snow away. No complaints.

mine kept some paint from the lens while setting in my shop. I like it on the ice as well.

I have one on my FL18 and love it.
Keeps the snow and rain out, and I have never noticed a distortion problem.
It is also a magnifier, which is a big plus for me.

Ive got the fl18 also, and use it.  if it gets dirty or a smudge it cleans really easy.  Plus I found one on the lake one day as well, so I have a back up.....
