How old should your kid be to inherit your old Flasher?

[LODFFB]

I was Scamming I mean thinking that with the new Vexliar out when should I let the boy Inherit my old (2 yrs) FL-8 so that I would have to go buy the New Vex? My son will be 3 on Nov 20. Me personally I proably cant do it this year without being handed my Jewls. But Next year I think it will happen. All though he might want to See the fish so Maybe a camera. Have any of you guys done that.

He's two and no vex yet pass it on down man

Pass it down as soon as you can, when he is old enough to read it himself, you are really going to miss it. I have been fighting my son since he was 4 for the use of the vex. he is 10 now. I had better get at the very least another FL8. The past couple of years, at times he likes to be on his own, I put him in a borrowed fish trap, typically no more than a rocks throw away, drill his holes give him a heater, (focus 5), bait, and somehow he always manages to con me out of the vex. He does not have to try very hard, I really love the fact that he is showing some independence, he picks the spot where he wants to go (within the original area that I have picked out ). The only times I hear from him is when there are fish showing, fish on, hungry, thirsty, or when he runs out of heat. I really need to buy him a fish trap and me a new vex.

You have a 2 year old son and he doesn't have a vex yet???? What kind of father are you?!?!?!? Get with the program and pass it down, dude.

Then go buy a new one.

Your son is 2 and doesn't have one yet? I should report you to the ice fishing ethics board.

My son got his vex at seven. After having him steal it out of my hole everytime I tried to do somthing I figured it was just time.

The camera is a great idea as well.

I'll use it until he is old enough; Let's say about eight. Then I'll pass it back.

[Desperado]

When he was 6 he wanted mine.

When he was 7 he was taking mine.

When he was 8 he figured out he has saved enough Christmas and Birthday money to buy his own.

Don't miss your opportunity to bequeath and upgrade.

Marcums are great. Anyone looking to get a used LX3 for cheap should search Marcum on hsolist...ends tonight.

old enough to hold his own rod, old enough for a flasher

now my son wants my camera Imagine that. he'll get it soon enough. He's 11yrs old got my fl-8 at 3

[WalleyeStriker]

I would agree with the above statement! Just gives you a reason to buy a new one....

[CNY Tim]

As soon as my son saw my LX-3

If you are really strapped for cash, I would "share" the vex when he is out on the water. Yes, I know it is hard to sit there staring at your hole without knowing what is happening underneath you. But more importantly is if you are looking to have a long time partner for years to come, better to have him enjoy his experience then be miserable and watch you catch all the fish. The little guy will definately lose interest in a hurry- you'll be wishing you shared that vex!

Then when you know he'll stay on the ice and get the value out of a unit, that is the time to make an upgrade and give him your old unit!

Good Luck!
