Does Marcum make a Magnifying cover like Vexilar?

[Jimmy from Cottage Grove]

I will also add, that if vexilar came out with a flasher that is better then the lx-5. I would not hesitate to buy it. At the moment however the lx-5 is the top of the line model. I don't know how anyone could argue that point. There is not one thing about the vexilars that is better then the lx-5. Except some of you like the flat screen. I however don't understand why you would need it. Except for the point that someone made about watching his wifes from next to him. I also feel that the screen on the 20 is not even close to as clear as the marcum. I know they are called flashers, because they flash. The lx-5 is so crisp and clear. I often wonder if it is even flashing. I also have a question for you vexilar users. Is vexilar a Minnesota company? I know the address on there website says minnesota, but someone told me it wasn't made in the u.s.a.

Hello all,

This is my first post...I've been a long time reader, but I haven't signed up to be a member until this "Ford vs. Chevy" topic. I'm sure both products are great, but I recently bought the FL-20 and LOVE IT for many reasons, but i have to say that i'm glad Vexilar invested their time into developing accessories (as complained about earlier) because, for a couple extra bucks, i bought the "beverage holder"...what is marcum's answer to that?!?!

now, i'm not one to put my "beverage" down while on the ice, but it sure comes in handy when i hook into that big one...it has cured my "beverage" abuse.

Happy fishing, with whatever product you go with

Hmmmm a beverage holder huh .... I may have to sell my Marcum

Wildspirit I am a little concerned with why you need a beverage holder. Isn't your beer suppose to be in your hand at all times? I don't really consider it Ford vs. Chevy. I think of it more as HDTV vs. Tube Tv.

Gotta laugh at that one.

Marcum Story

I know this story should have nothing to do with which flasher you buy for yourself. However it is a great story, and should be recognized. The man who posted the original story, had called vexilar and they wouldn't even return his call about a demonstration for the class. Thats why I was asking if they were a minnesota company or not.

Whatever you go with is up to you, but when I have my FL-12 and my buddies have there marcums, my screen seems much more bright and precise.

[Jimmy from Cottage Grove]

Which marcum's did your buddies have? I have the lx-5, and I thought that mine looked brighter then the vexilars. Last year I fished red in march when it was really nice out. My buddy that didn't go with on the trip left his fl-12 in my truck. So I jigged all day on a five gallon bucket. One hole I had the fl-12 the other the lx-5. Everyone was laughing at me, for having two flashers.

[fish slabber]

i think that vexilar is the fish finder what about you.
