0 Esox_Magnum Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 All show fish, some have more features than others, I haven't owned a Vex in years, don't overlook the other brands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 EBass Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 What do you fish for and how deep? Fl-18 is what I've had for years and I love it. My friend has the FL-22 and he loves that. Go to Gander/Cabela's and check them out for yourself and see what one fits your needs. You'll want the zoom. You could also go refurbished - check out the Motor Clinic in Bloomington off Old Shakopee road. Good luck and any flasher will up your odds.

0 brian6715 Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 I would get a new VX-1 or a used LX-3tc or LX-5... different brand, but better flasher for the price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 wally diver Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 I bought a new marcum vx1 pro last year and love it compared to my dads old fl8. Nice soft side case, zoom feature, comes with a better battery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Chad Peterson Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Can't go wrong any of the units from vexilar. The FL-18 and FL-22 would be the unit I would recommend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Bernie Keefe Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 I am a big fan of the "flat "screen Vexilars. The Fl-12, Fl-20 and the Fl-22. You can see them from the side and when it snows the "cup" does not fill up with snow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 polarsusd81 Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 I too like the flat screen Vexilars. I have the FL22 and absolutely love it. For years I ran an FL8 and never had an issue with it other than needing to replace the battery. Sold it two years ago and it is still being used without issue. I have also owned a Marcum LX5, but prefer to stick with Vex. The flat screen is awesome in inclement weather fishing outside. I fish outside 95% of the time so there is a pretty good chance I will hit some snow while fishing.Take care,Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
