flasher advice

[mikeymjr23]

Ok,

I won a $500 gift card to bass pro or a local outdoors store at home...got lucky in a contest!!!  YAY for me!

I need some help though, I am buying a flasher with it...need advice on which to buy

Not quite sure which one to get...I need help from all.

I know that I absolutely loved using my friends Hummingbird 55, but there are so many out there...

There are vexilar, marcum, lowrance, hummingbird...

Help me out, here!

just go with what you can afford and get out there and us it. the more you fish with whatever you buy the better you will be. this has been brought up so many times before that you can go into the archives  to get any info you want on any of the products you listed.

Sure took you a long time to make up your mind!

haha!  Well, I have been looking at the birds for a LONG time...over a year.  I also put feelers out on another site and received a lot of feedback...

In reality though, I have used a few different ones before, and as stated above, it all boils down to personal preference...

Plus, I wanna get it on the ice!  haha!

you know i bought the 35 at the begining of this season and i love it.  i had so many ppl telling what was best and what was no good it made my head spin.  i figured out that it really doesnt matter if you buy one or the other it is going to make the experience better.  as far as personal choice goes that is another thing.  i do know one thing though.  In my opinion the 35 is awesome and i cant believe i ever hit the hard water with out it. 
congrats on your purchase now quit typing and go catch some fish with it
good luck and be safe
