Well guys, I have been wanting to start this thread for a while. I do not want this to be a versus thread or a which to buy. Just a what do you take out on the ice with you.

Personally I have a wife and 2 boys so over the years I have been adding to what we have. So now we each have a unit and we actually have a spare now. Here is the list of flashers that go out on the ice with us and the one that stays in the truck as a spare or borrowed to a friend fishing with us.

1- Our original start. A Eagle Fish Easy that we have had for about 12yrs and works perfect. Now our spare.
2- Old FL-8 has the fish alarm on it.
3- Lowrance lcX-28chd w/ Ice ducer
4- Marcum VX1p
5- Marcum LX9

What do you all use?

Just bought a Humminbird Ice-45. It's my first flasher system. Have been using a camera for a while and decided to give sonar a try. Can't wait to walk on water and catch some fish with it. Hopefully we will find some safe ice here in central NY soon!

1. vexilar pro pack fl20 with proview. this comes out if I know ill be fishing around a lot of people.it has great interference rejection and rarely gets clutter on the screen from others flashers.
2.showdown troller 2.0 with me all the time for quick depth checks or running and gunning quick.
3.marcum lx3tc this is my backup flasher if my others to fail to work.

1. lx7
2. lx3tc is my backup. In other words, the one that all my friends fight over because they won't buy a flasher.

FL-20 with the ultrapack and 12 degree ducer. Great unit. Probably overkill, but I wouldn't trade it for any other! Walleye take on Chautauqua Lake has tripled with it!

FL 20 Ultra Pack with Tri Beam, FL 12 Pro with Duel Beam

Vexilar fl-18 and a Marcum lx-5. Like them both. I got tired of friends or family always wanting to use my flasher when they came along. So I bought the Marcum to make sure I always have one to use. If two or more people are along they can fight over the spare one.

I ordered a Vex FLX28. Should be in soon. I know a few people who have the Vex 8 for years and love it with no problems or complaints. I decided to go with the ultra pack. Looking forward to trying it out. I've only used a flasher a couple times and now I'm hooked. Good luck to all this season!

I won an FL-8 at a conference back in 1999. All I've ever used. Didn't even know there were brands besides vexilar until a couple years ago!

I have been running the Lowrance mark 5 for the past few years.... I stepped up to a Lowrance Elite 5HDI for this season. The mark 5 is mounted on a Genz blue box with iceducer and I purchased the bag kit and transducer for the Elite 5HDI..... Im excited to see how it works out this season.
