I have both a flasher (Marcum LX3-TC) and a Lowrance color fish finder. I have heard that watching a flasher hour after hour gives some a headache but this has never been an issue with me. I do not hear any noise, but my hearing isn't perfect either. With the zoom feature, I have no problem seeing my jig and fish on the bottom in over 100' of water.
I do enjoy the history that is provided by my Lowrance but I don't like like how it looks like there is a huge school of fish showing on my screen almost every time I give a hook set. When this happens it can take several seconds before the screen returns to normal. In the mean time, I can't see my jig and any actual fish. I have had others say that they have also experienced the same problem with their fish finders.
