someone should alert vexilar
What doesn't a Vex do that it is supposed to? Maybe I won't buy one?
don't you already have one?
I'm just hanging around waiting for someone to tell me what a Vex doesn't do that is supposed to. No one seems to have the answer. I can see a tiny bead slide down the line to a jig 30' below me on my FL18. I can see a fish approach my bait. What else is it supposed to do? I have a Marcum also and it does the same thing. It has the Super Fine Line option which is great, but my question is still "What doesn't the Vex do that it is supposed to do?". I don't fish for Guppies in sixty feet of water and if I did I would probably use my LX5.
spf, better target separation, movable zoom, true 3 color. all are advancements that have been marcum made. what advancement has vexilar made? an attachable grill light and battery indicator? zzzzZZZzZZZzzzzZZZ
We don't mean to imply that your vexilar doesn't do what its supposed to do, some of us just have our own opinion that the marcum does a much better job doing what your vexy is supposed to do.
3 color? Did si-tek invent that, the company that became vexilar? Ever even heard of Si-Tek? How about the company Zercom, ever heard of them ? In terms of advancement, vex was the first company to make a flasher with zoom along with other advancements like dual beam ducers, etc

if marcum's service and overall product durability and build quality was a little better, i'd say there would be no contest.
If "ifs" were fifths........we'd all be drunk.
nobody is bad mouthing vex owners i can use grandpas old golf clubs to play a round of golf and they'll get the job done but i think i'll use my callaways instead. old technology is still usable but sometimes the industry moves past it. noone is saying that a marcum is drastically better than vexilar. they just have more usable features which i believe makes them more versatile. you said it yourself. other companies continue to push the industry while vexilar continues to slap cameras onto their flashers and going TA DAAA and claiming it as innovative. if marcum's service and overall product durability and build quality was a little better, i'd say there would be no contest.
I'm all fer joinin ya and I even think I have a .750 of Crown that needs to be opened.
When I bought my FL18 I was thinking about buying an LX5 and I think they were both new on the market. The guy that owned the baitshop recommended the FL18 because he was having LX5s being returned and not much luck when dealing with Marcum's CS department. He got burned enough that he won't sell Marcum products to this day. That's why I bought an FL18 in the first place and used it exclusively until last December when I bought an LX5. I really don't care if Vexilar slaps cameras into their flashers or not, but people continue to buy them. All I did was ask a simple question and I still don't know what Vexilar doesn't do that it is supposed to do.

then i guess you'll never know if you haven't been able to figure it yet.
Didn't figure I'd get an answer.
