Marcum Vs Vexilar

Marcum LX-3 or Vexilar Fl-20 any opinions?

Thats like throwing a steak in front of a pack of starving lions! There are a few whos flashers better threads already going. Jump on one of those for your answer. The flasher shootout GTG would be a good thread.

just do a search or go back 1 or 2 pages we have beat this horse to death. we all know that statistically the Marcum is better, but its all how good you are at reading them.

CrewJones do you have a Marcum LX-5? We need someone at the Flasher shoot-out with one to show up!

brother just bought a Bird to replace his if thats NE indication. GO vex you wont regret it. have an fl-18 and wont ever ice fish w/o it

My take on it all comes to a personal level. I have had both, I still have a vexilar but with being colorblind with these colors on the locaters, Marcum does it 100x better for me. So I stick with the Marcum lx-5 and lx-7. With the 7 I have zero issues of telling what is what. I can't get that with a vexilar. Never had a Bird yet, so not sure, I'm happy with Marcum and will continue using them till something better catches my eye.

I do have an LX-5 but I will not be around for the shoot out, anyway It doesn't seem to be catching me any more fish just lets me see more of the ones I cant catch

Gator, a color blind friend of mine wanted to trade his lx-5 for my ICE-55. So the 6 color (or whatever it is)display must be nice. Then his color blind brother commented on how nice it was compared to his FL18. I politely declined!!

I am also colorblind. And I also asked this same question last winter. Marcum was the easy choice based on value and features.

As good ol' Backwater Eddy would preach "get the blue light" conversion on your Vex and that takes care of the color blind people. Plus it looks really cool

I run my Ice 55 with the blue light as it does seem easier to see and better on the eye's.

I have the LX-3tc and absolutely love it. Fished with Vex and they are noisy. I get a headache now just thinking about it. Marcum is quiet as a church mouse!

My new lx7 is real easy on the eyes and with all the color choices and night mode it rocks to see. couple that with dynamite performance and well you get the idea. Im not sayin im just sayin!
