Vexilar vs. LX3

[Eckie]

I've done research on both units, but can't decide which is the one to go with....How about a few pro's and con's from the guys who own them?

Thanks..

Hi my name is EBass and I'm a Vex-a-holic. I do not rep for them, I just really like the FL-18. Marcum is a great unit too. Either way you can't go wrong. Sure beats the depth plomb routine! Happy Holidays everyone.

I am drooling over the thought of fishing right now, but I will not be able to get out until Friday morning i dont think!!! Maybe not even until Sunday...I have used Vexi's before but never the MarCum. I want to see its up's and downs pronto.

I'll leave feedback as to how it performs.

Ebass said it all...funny post. My wife used to get mad because half of my winter jackets had various color clip on depth finders on them, she's happy now because I don't have any anymore.

I don't think anyone has mentioned this yet, but it is an important "insignificance" to me. the lx-3 is much quieter than the vex. I can now hear the roar of my mr heater double heater much better., but seriously it is just a little more peaceful in the ice house now.

I am not one of those brand loyal guys. I'll buy a Chevy or a Ford if I think its the best price and has the most features.

I have a Vexilar Edge II on my River Pro. It has a feature that I need to stay on fish.

I have an Auqua View Quad 360 becuase I wanted to see in every direction at the same time.

I have a Marcum LX3 because it has better IR, target seperation, better zoom capabilities, and the display is crisper and easier to see.

I am not a Ford, Vex, Aqua View, or Marcum guy.

I am a guy who gets the best product for its intended purpose.

I actually got out and tried my LX-1 at a lake near my home. I think i saw a few fish, but i didnt even have any bait...just a jog. Nothing bit, but it was pretty clrea on the screen.

I only fishied in about 8 ft of pretty murky water! The MarCum held its own and I now have no regrets.

I can't wait to see hos it works on a big lake in a shack. It was pretty cold just walking out there with no shack.

Merry Christmas all!!!
