Oh no NPO_Aaron the Yeti pose is going to have a fit about K2 coolers, The real kicker is some of the Yetis are made in Sconiville:;:smokinA lot of people will steer you away from the FL-8 because it doesn't have a zoom feature. That being said, that is what I have and it suits me just fine. Can't beat the original imo.
:;:rockitThank for the input...I fished with a buddys vex with bottom zoomed and I liked it. The low-end Marcum has bottom zoom and was leaning towards that...So if the spousal unit lets spend a few extra bucks then ill get the FL 18
Just starting to build up my ice fishing gear and I'm in the market for a flasher. I'm looking to get a Marcum VX-1i or a Vexilar FL8....What are your thoughts? Thanks guys!
Good for you k9 for joining the ice fishing addiction! At the end of the day you need to make your own decision on what is better. Visit a sporting goods store who has both units and have them show you what they do and don't do and go from there. I run vex and love it. If I were in your position just starting out...I think I would look for a good used fl18 unit versus a new 8. Find someone you can trust who has one and help you find one, Its kinda like this..would you want a brand new 2 wheel drive truck...or a nice used 4 wheel drive...Your new 8 will be nice..but......... my .02
Both are good units. Marcum is cancer to a Vex though. I won't let those in the ice House. Be sure to get zoom, you'll regret it if you don't.
So the spousal unit let me splurge a bit and let me get a FL-18...I've been fishing with a buddy's FL-28 and it made me decide to go with vex. Thanks again for the input fellas! Hopefully I get to use here before The ice melts with this gorgeous weather we been having!
