Old fl-8 does everything I need. I get more fish than some of my buddies with 18's.

I borrowed my buddies Eagle Fish Eye, just like yours last year. It worked well enough to find what I was looking for, and then after that I decided I'd hop on the bandwagon....got myself an LX7. Still tweaking it, but so far so good. A question for the few people who have more than a few flashers - why? Are you going out with a lot of people and use them as loaners, or do you change up flashers to suit your need or location?

Main unit is a LX-9
Light hole hopper unit is my first ever unit and that is an old marcum lx-1
Had a marcum showdown 5.6 dual beam that I sold to my fishing partner last season.
And well this year I wanted something new to play with so I ordered up a marcum pan cam system and an rt9 combo pack. Figured the deal I was offered on them both was still far far less than the actual retail of just the rt9 so why not give it a go. The rt9 will also be a third portable screen on my boat in the spring summer that will link up with my lowrance go free wifi and mirror my sonar and structure scan. So more of a dual purposed unit for me.

FL-22HD on a Genz Box with a 12 degree (this is my main run and gun flasher)(use the others once I find the place I want to set up the house at)
FL-22HD Ultra Pack with Tri Beam
FL-20 Ultra Pack with Tri Beam
FL-20 Ultra Pack with 12 degree
FL-18 Ultra Pack with 12 degree
Fish Scout Double Vision (FL-20 with Fish Scout 800 Underwater camera in the same pack)

What is the point of having one that you find a spot with then use a different one? I can see if one has gps unit and uses regular flasher so u would have 2... I run lx7 or lowrance hds5 (which can do it all)

lx7 and lx3 as a backup

My first flasher was a Heathkit that I built myself way back in the 1970's. I graduated to an inexpensive humminbird portable LCD graph for open water, but had never used anything for ice fishing until two years ago when I pulled the trigger on an LX-7. WOW, what a change in the whole business of ice fishing.

Humminbird Ice 55 Love it!

kastmaster693 · « **Reply #88 on:** Jan 26, 2015, 04:37 PM »

::)I have 5, one for me and the rest for my 4 kids or for my kids' buddies or my buddies who doesn't have a flasher (or won't buy a flasher since they know they can
borrow one for me

1) Marcum LX5 - My primary one. Love the power and dual beam. It does create interference when I'm around others.
2) Marcum LX3 - Used as my personal back-up, general purpose for the kids.
3) Cabelas VX1 (made by Marcum) - Kids/Loaner unit
4) Vexilar FL8SE - Kids/Loaner - Gets the most interference when used with the Marcums. Does not get interference with HBICE35 due to Humminbird's different frequency
5) Humminbird ICE35 - My third choice, a bit noisier than the Marcums and Vex. Gets the least interference when used with the Marcums/Vex

The LX3 and FL8SE were bought from the bargain cave at Cabelas when the store opened here in Utah late 2005 at a deep discount. I've recently replaced the original batteries from the LX3 and
the FL8SE. I was surprised at how long they lasted.
