Vexilar flx 28

[tman]

Hello guys found a real good deal on a flx 28 just wanted some reviews from guys that have had them out on the ice. I currently have a fl18 so would like to hear if you think it's worth it to upgrade and any good and bad things about it.    Thanks

A guy I know has one and decided he wants the ultra pack instead the one I could get is a pro pack only been used once for 520

I up graded this year from a fl-22 , I really like it. It's brighter & more crisp than the 22. The didgital depth is a big plus, I'm really happy with the 28.

I'm wondering where you can even find one let alone on sale ?? I haven't seen one on the shelf around Iowa since Christmas  . Buy it I love mine . It works great for me

Do it!

I'm VERY happy with mine.  Replaced my 18 with a 22 and replaced the 22 with the 28.  MUCH better flasher than either in just about every way.  You'll love it.

You wont be disappointed with the 28. I have progressed from the 18 to the 22 to now the 28. What a BIG difference in technology. Once you get the 28 and start to learn all that it has to offer you will be VERY happy you made the investemnt. I know I am!!!

Thanks for all the input guys

The FLX-28 is an interesting machine.  I've used all of them and they all have been good.  Some of the things I've liked so far have been the color selection.  I've been running the third setting which adds a "white" which is the strongest signal.  It helps finding differences in bottom content and sometimes size of fish targets as well!  It also has a Weed Mode which can be a game changer.  I still find myself using the "Low Power" mode more because I am more familiar with it.  Also the center display has been awesome.  No more math!  lol   Another big plus has been the ability to view the screen in direct sunlight!!!  Very impressive!  The standard Pro View transducer is also a plus.  If you wanted to simply add that transducer to your 18 you could.  It totally changes the performance.

All in all it's up to you if you want to pull the trigger (if you can still find one).  I'm happy with mine and am still learning a lot every time I get out fishing with it. 

Good fishing,

The weed mode is amazing!!! A couple weekends ago I was fishing for gills in a weedy area that was 4-5' deep. I tried LP mode but still had quite a bit of clutter. I powered down and switched on weed mode and BOOM clutter was gone and all that remained was my jig and gills!!!

I've been fishing mine all winter.  Nothing I don't like better than my previous FL20. 

I did keep my older Dual Beam 'ducer and sold the ProView with my FL20.  I did try the ProView.  It worked ok, but I like the traditional way of operating these flashers. 

[jumbo chaser]

I really like the proview it just took me a while to learn the tricks on how to use it to the best of its ability then once I figured out how to use it after the third time on ice I totally love it .  I had it out yesterday and caught 119 gills 8-10" and 4 crappies 10-12" the fishing has been awesome lately . Totally fast and furious yesterday the 28 worked flawless
