been using a marcum showdown last 4 seasons its idiot proof go on line and see the videos on marcum sight you will agree
I use a vintage Eagle silent sixty two, I really like the one color, and it will mark anything over 1/64 oz. I also use a few of my buddy's fl-8's. I like the fl-8 and think it is about all a beginner needs. If I had my choice, and money was no option, I would go with the Marcum Lx-6, it has everything but gps. But for now my Eagle catches me fish, so I'm sticking with it, I love vintage fishing equip.
No flasher for me
