its called a "showdown" many threads on the site bashing how bad they are compared to a vex or marcum.

I plan on buying one after the new year tho....i am a nonconformist!

In my opinion get a lawrance x67c.  Best thing out there!  you get a realtime fishfinder and a flasher all in 1 !!!

I just got a Showdown after looking at all the flashers and stuff.  It cost a little less than conventional flashers.  I tried it out today in the swamp behind my house and found out that they drained the lake a lot as there is only 3 feet of water in the channel!  I will have to go fishing before I can give any more opinions on it and I have never used a flasher so I am already one sided.
