While I would absolutely love to try out the FLX-28, the price tag is way more than I can afford. So I'm looking forward to trying out Clam's new tungsten jigs, spoons, and Maki plastics for perch and trout here in the Hills this season and I'm hoping to get the new Thermal Legend if possible.

I also scored on a FLX-28 along with the new Jason Mitchell 5000 insulated hub...huge footprint with 5 sides. I am also sporting a bevy of the new Clam tungsten jigs and maki plastics. Now I just new some new cleats...Kahatoola makes a great set ...I'll get them at the ice show in a few weeks.

I bought an iceducer for my HDS 5. I have been using it for GPS in the winter, I am excited to try it as a depthfinder. Still have my trusty Vexi for backup, but interested seeing how this works on the ice as well.

I'm looking forward most to getting to know my FLX-28. As a Marcum then Humminbird guy I have to say that this Vexilar has me excited to hit Lake of the Woods and fish the deep mud. I think the screen color choices will make the difference there over the other units. The problem I have is I only have one FLX-28 and I fish with my wife allot so we may have to share.

???? Marcum digital sonars and Bird ICE55 already have 5 or 6 color palette. I think the FLX28 is a pretty nice unit and wouldn't mind owning one myself. However lets not over credit such yet.

Its not just the color pallete, the FLX has the option of using four colors instead of the usual three colors to show how close/big the target is.

don't over look that the FLX is the only unit that lets you go to 2 colors when there is a lot of zooplanktin in the water column and it starts to fill your whole flasher with weak returns. having the option to turn off the weak returns is nice for this situation.

Since cold temperatures are in the forecast the next week I am starting to think about ice a little more. Early ice is fun but staying light and safe is important. To save on weight I am going to utilize the new drill plate conversion kit from Clam. This little unit has been highly popular so far at the ice fishing gatherings!

Good fishing,
