Flasher choice?
#26
[quote obifishkenobi]To all the people who prefer a flasher to a graph view, why what is the advantage?[/quote][font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000][size 3]For ice fishing, the flashers present one picture of the water column or a split zoom/full column.I run my FLx28 in split mode with the zoom set to 6 feet. The colors are bright and instantly show fish size and location. On all of the graph units that I've looked at, the colors are less bright/washed out compared to the Vex units and I really don't care what was under me 3 to 5 minutes ago. Flashers are instant read 100% of the time and the blip size changes as the fish moves in and out of the cone. I haven't noticed that with graphs the few times I was looking at somebody else's graph. Seemed to be always just a line that maybe moved up or down with no real indication of size. On my flasher, the fish appears as a thin green line as it enters the cone and the blip can increase to a solid red bar 3 to 5 times wider as it moves into the center of the cone. Anything is better than fishing blind (NO sonar), but the units that give me the most information while ice fishing are the flashers.
