[jcs379]

I am' thinking to getting this one . does anybody has any reviews ? it's marked for 500.00 so I hope it's better be good.

I think you could do better for $500 but it's your money. I'd look for lightly used, or if you're spending that much already get a 28

Good unit but $500 is high for it. I can't remember exactly, but I believe scheels recently had the FL18 after discounts down to $415.

Fleet farm sell their fl 18 pro for $439 . Im not sure why ppl will buy it else where. My brother bought the dave genz pack for $379. If you really like the pro pack I recommend getting genz pack and buy a pro case .. you'll spend about $430 out the door cheaper than buying pro pack. Hope that helps..

IS THE FL 18 PRO PACK 2 W/PROVIEW ICE A NEW MODEL OR IS IT THE SAME AS PAST YEARS

if you fish in mostly less than 20 ft of water try and get something other than a proview ducer....if possible.

I would consider saving some coin and get the Genz pack and 12 degree transducer.  I have an FL8 Pro Pack II that was given to me as a Christmas gift, finder works great and the pack is durable but it is overpriced and gimicky.

I have a double vision, ultra pack and a genz box. all are nice only let down on the genz box is not having the pole holder or a cup holder when hole hoping. Also the tackle box is nice on the utra & propack. But for the money I'd agree with you that if most of the posters fishing is in 30-10 feet of water I would go a genz box with a 12* transducer.

the FL-18 at Fleet Farm is the Ice pro version. it is a FL-18 in the Pro Pack 2 case but it does not come with the DD-100 digital depth indicator and only comes wth the 12 degree transducer.  that is why it is only $439. to get a Pro Pack 2 FL-18 with the DD-100 and the Proview will cost right around the $499.99 mark and to get it with the DD-100 and the 12 degree transducer will cost around $469.99. as for buying a Genz Pack and Pro Pack 2 case, the Genz pack will come with a 12 degree transducer and not the pro view. yes you can get the Genz Pack for around $375 and the Pro Pack 2 case for around $35 so combined you would be at $410 then add a Pro view Transducer for another $130 so now you would be at $540 so for $500 you get it already put together and then you don't have a 12 degree transducer sitting around not being used and the empty Genz Pack too. just something to consider when looking at the prices of units.

the first time it was offered was last year. this is the second year of the Proview option. the Proview replaced the Tri Beam from the other years.

[Unclegillhunter]

Can you buy the pro view as an add on? Was not interested in the try view.
