Been looking at different flashers since last spring. Had my mind made up last year on the Marcum VX-1P, but when shopping again this fall I couldn't make up my mind. Well Monday night I found a good deal on the VX-1P and ordered it. A couple friends have them and swear by them so I figured I couldn't go wrong. Now if my better half will let me get out Sunday or Monday to try it out I will be happy. May take a run up to Lake Ellen and try for some splake.
