Any ideas for a MarCum arm for vex transducer?

[&JAG]

Was thinking I really like my FL-20 but, without the MarCum type arm for the transducer like my wives LX-5; I find myself using hers thus far this season. Help please! I want to enjoy the vex more and I'm not digging that vex eye hook thing for the cord either!

you can buy the same arm from marcum, then just figure a way to mount it on your vex.

Does the Fl-20 not come with the float? Am I missing something here? If it does just put the float in the hole and tighten the line to keep it to the edge.

I couldn't imagine stepping down to a FL-20 from my LX-5, partner runs one, nice but not nicer than the LX.

Heck Ive got the arm your talking about and id give it to you! I went and bought the VEX float instead of using it. The only purpose I use that for is to keep the transducer in place on the base. I guess it might look funny having a Vexlar float on a Marcum, but I own both and I know what I like.

I like the float a whole lot more than the arm. But I guess we all have our preferences.

Oh, I wasn't very specific about the float. I have it I just like having the transducer cord off the ice. The transducer cord either is laying on the ice/hole or it seems you gotta snug the vexilar right on top of the hole. I may be a bit careful, but I worry about wearing it down or even putting a hole in the cord over time. The LX-5 set-up allows you to put the unit back away from the hole a bit and you can just grab it without having a ducer and cord dangling (caution heater). I wish Vexilar would come up with an attachment for folks who like it that way...

vex's used to come with a 6" arm. They were not as long as the marcum one and did'nt swivel in the middle. I would like to find one like the marcum's as well.

If you are in a portable or permanent house you could use velcro on the wall.

fab up a holder that will fit into the rod holder on your pack. The nice thing about the arm is it reduces wrap up problems you get with the float.

As for answering the question call Marcum and buy the arm they can be bolted on to a Vex I'm sure.

For myself I have a better unit and the arm with my MarCum.
