Getting pretty ugly here boys!
Hell I'm just glad I have a job and can afford any of them.
I upgraded to an FL-20 last year, so i'm not buying anything this year. Had I known about the FL-22HD, I probably still would have bought the 20. Not that I hardly ever fish anything over 60' deep, I just dont like the limitations should I ever want to. I would like to get the tri-beam ducer.....just cant find one anywhere
Here's my day today with the FL-22 HD, I actually got to use it the whole day and not let my buddies play with it. Found out that fooling around with the cone angles really helps to get rid of dead spots, the Tri-beam is quite useful. IMHO this unit is worth every cent paid. For those who do not like to fine tune...the lower end FL-20 will work but I love good electronics and the ability to fine tune for precision presentations this unit allows me to do that very well.Gotta love the opinions of the fellows who havent used this unit but claim to know everything about it.

After being a Marcum fan the last few years I picked up the Fl-22 HD for my shallow water fishing and this unit is amazing. Im not a Vex pro staffer and have nothing to gain but this was worth the $550. Way better then my LX-3 and side by side with my buddies LX-5 it edges it out in crisp lines and picking up those bottom hugging fish. I think Ive fished more with his LX-5 then my Fl-22..he says he want to just try it and I don't see it for the rest of the day..lol but the LX-5 is still a great unit.Cheers!!
So far feedback has been good other than one guy that returned his. He was furious, a vex user talked him into buying one so he sold he lx5. He was not happy with the fuzzy display and felt the target seperation wasnt as good . Using tiny jigs in 25 foot of water he had to turn the gain up "to much" were his words. Still more happy users than not...
Hard to say without being there. Do you remember where you had your gain set?
Would like to see what the big Marcum vs Vexilar hoopla is all about. Fin
Its all about a few mm's of seperation between a hook and a fish. For me it does matter cause I fish for big walleye not fish that are 1" long. As long as I see that solid red "blob ( as some like to call it)" covering my hook I could care less about everything else. I think Ive done pretty good this year with a unit that hums to loud, has poor target seperation, doesnt have 3 distinct colors, costs too much, doesnt come in a free soft case, has a transucer float vs. arm....I could go on but you get the point.Cheers!!
So you agree? LOL To each his own, I just think its odd is all. I would never go out and buy a TV unless it had a clear picture, a Rifle scope that wasnt clear when I looked through it, new glasses that didnt give me clear vision. Sure , all of the above would get the job done, I just wouldnt enjoy it as much.I could go on but you get the point It really makes no difference really. You earned your money, you get to spend and enjoy it how you see fit.
I was being sarcasitic stumper ;)I dont watch t.V, I shoot open sights and don't need glasses All I can say about Marcum is, been there..done that and have found better with the FL-22. You're happy with the LX-5 and its great to hear, they need customers. If I didnt need a really good shallow water flasher Id kept my Marcum but this unit is simply "better" in that aspect.Cheers!!
