Marcum soft pack/soft case

[fisherman-andy]

Apparently almost every store is out. Anyone know of a place that still has one left? Were trying to get one for my buddies VX1 unit.

[Nozzlejocky]

The other day I found some at Fleet Farm in Green Bay. If you want, I could run over there, get one, and ship it to you. They were 14.99 when I bought mine, shouldn't cost much to ship it. I like it on my unit. Keeps it nice and clean. Let me know if you would like me to pick one up for you.

Thx for your help offer Nozzlejocky but my buddy would really like to just pick one up locally in the Twin Cities here.

I can't see why won't Marcum just pack the unit with a soft pack and just charge it to the customer anyhow instead making them go buy it separately. They do that for their other units.

If we can't find one he'll just have to do without it until next winter.

Fleet Farm in Brooklyn Park had them a few weeks back.

Part of why its the "cheap" model. My LX2 came with one, and my dad (who's a Vex guy) went to pick it up one day asked me where the carrying handle was. I showed him and I think the thought that was pretty slick. BTW, fishing together this weekend I caught him eyeing the Marcum a few times, I think he likes it a bit better than his FL18

I got a generic brand for mine through the Marcum HSOforum. What kind are those you find locally or at Fleet Farm ? Are they a Marcum branded product or generic as well ? Would like to find a genuine Marcum if there is one for the VX-1, I've seen them for the LX-2. Don

Ah ha! So you were the one who bought the last one. We went there to go buy the last one and the sales guy there said someone just phone in to buy the last one.

So we went over to Mills Fleet Farm today and bought a Marcum Ice Pack. I thought it was rather flimsy for $50 on sale but it works. Although we had no idea where to hook up some of the attachements cause it came with no instructions. And the Ice Pack can weigh you down a bit carrying all the equipment together. Does look cool carrying it around though...

I just used a cheap regular tool bag for mine and got a vex transducer float for mine. Fits perfect.

I will have to take a look at the Marcum bag to see if there is any benefit of those.

Sorry,

I had a difficult time finding a cover as well. I did see that fishing pro store has the mammoth marcum case. Again, apologize for taking the last one.

[BartmanMN]

Fleet Farm Brooklyn Park was sold out on Tuesday when I called. I was also looking at the Mammoth one on Fishing pro. My Vx-1 just arrived today. Looking forward to giving it a try.

Try Thornes Bro in Fridley they might have it.

[fisherman-andy]

Lucky us. We went to the Mills Fleet Farm in Lakeville and found a Soft Pack! Maybe the last one in MN as far as large retail chain stores. There was also a few VX-1 Marcums left too! Also found a couple Marcum Ice Paks too.

[SDWalleye]

Good to hear Andy...glad I didn't take the last one! Did your buddy end up getting the soft pack or keep the ice pack?

[fisherman-andy]

Yeap he kept both. The Ice Pack doesnt cover up the Sonar/Flasher fully. The Marcum Ice Pack feels pretty heavy to lug around though once packed with stuff.
