zercom color point flasher good or not

[iceburg911]

I bought a zercom flasher is it a good fish finder or not

[jitterbug]

Very good had one myself.  Problem is cross talk with other flashers especially vexilars.  They call it interference and you can't get rid of it.

thanks spent 270.00 and don't want wifey to find out i bought junk

I have one and initially thought it was junk because it didn't work right.  Then I realized (like Jitterbug said) it was just interference from my partner's Vexilar.  When I use it alone it seems to work fine.

They stopped making the colorpoint 8or 9 years ago. For $30 more you could have got a marcum vx-1 with a good interference rejection.

You got RAPED!

You got RAPED!

I don't condone the use of that word as it could be offensive to women, but I do agree that you got taken. Color points are going for 100-140 on ebay, I would never spend over $150 on one.

 in my opoinion the only flasher to use is the vexalar 20.they are  a little pricey but mine has never let me down.

Back when I was living in Michigan, my buddy had a color point.  Good, good flasher...  #14 teardrops at 40' fishing smelt and the Zercom handled it without a hitch.

I've had a color point for the last 7 years and liked it but interference was always an issue. It Worked good for me unless I was fishing in very deep water over 60ft for perch, I could barely make out the marks in sunlight, I Just sold it for $150 2 weeks and bought a LX 5 from reeds yesterday can't wait.   I agree you paid too much or  I sold it too cheap! I paid $360 new for my color point all those years ago.
