[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000]Hey Top, wise move switching to a flasher. Todays flasher technology is NOT what your grandpa used. It is every bit as up to date as any sonar out there. And if you watch any of the ice fishing videos involving the ice fishing professionals, every last one of them is using a flasher sonar. Why do you suppose that is the case? It just may be that it actually IS the best choice for ice fishing. I mean, why would the Pros be using something second best?[/#800000][/font]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000]My FLx28 is now good for fishing in 300 FOW but I'll likely never hit that depth. My advice would be to buy the very best unit your wallet will handle and don't look back. And the Vexilar, Marcum, and Humminbird units are all good. Do buy one with a digital depth reading on the screen. Reading depth from the flash marks is a PITA.[/#800000][/font]
