Lx7 guys. Got a question for ya.


Recommended Posts

Well. I've been using a vex fl12 for years. Just bought a lx7 gritting my teeth. I bought it over the fl28 for a couple reasons. 1. Because it has the most wattage on the market and I fish deep waters often. 2. Because of the options it has that vexilar doesnt/can't. My question is for the lx7 peeps that use the graph. What are your opinions of the graph while ice fishing?? Has made any real difference for you seeing what's going on or does it not really matter? Compared to the flashers and showdown features. Just looking for insight. I Know I'll draw my own conclusions in time but thought I'd ask opinions.

Thanks

You will love the graph. They are only different displays showing the same information but one, the graph, gives you a history that you can learn from. The only conceivable reason Marcum offers the circular "flasher" display is because of people's reluctance to move to something new. I have been using an X102C graph for ice fishing for a decade and I will never use a circular display. What do you use in your boat? Why not take advantage of all information? I am getting an LX7 as well and will only use with graph modes.

I use the graph for ice and rarely use the circular mode

If anything is on the bottom you see it in the lx7 graph plain and simple it shows all. No more reading into the bottom like the vex. It's there on the marcum that's one thing you will see. Just drop your jig down as soon as you lift it it's separated from the bottom. Also now you have zoom! Move able zoom! Select the size zoom window you want to so if you're fishing deep it will be huge. Along with narrow beam ducer and 20 degree. Enjoy!

SO WHEN YOUR ON GRAPH MODE YOU CAN SEE YOUR JIG ??? thats what your saying ??? can you see the fish coming off the bottom to hit your jig in graph mode ????

Exactly. Watch a video on it .

Been using the LX-7 since it came out then upgraded to a lx-9 and the graph and zoom graph are all I use. Can see the smallest bottom action and actually identify fish by their sonar movement. Using a flasher display is like so old fashion.

I love the split screen with graph and flasher modes together.

      I remember that kegel… stuff….!   just finished my post work latte as a matter of fact!  Only the second case of those I’ve ever bought.     I’d get Mike something better.

      application has been submitted. 👍   Leech......i've shot my share of bear......it be nice to get another but not the end of the world if i dont. i get to spend time with my son...its just another way to get into the woods. i've been at it since about 1976......that rush when you walk up to the bait and see the logs scattered all over and bait gone just doesnt get old for me.   i had to get rid of 1 rug because of bad tanning. i have another rug, shoulder mount and made 3 pillows from 2 different bear hides. my biggest issue has become what to do with the hide....that seems more of a trophy then the meat. i inquired 1 year at the Alex decoy show when there were a couple hide guys there and they didnt seem to interested. 🙄 i have no other ideas for the hide.......approval from the wife is not even negotiable!!!!!

      Something in May, like around Opener.  Could be white knuckles for boaters that weekend with the way things stalled out since the contest started and how thick it still is.   Highs in the 50’s coming but lows are around freezing and not a lot of wind in the extended forecast.   I’ll tell  ya what, if you change from 4/26 and it hits that date, I’ll buy ya some mythical FM beer.  And you know where you can find it. 😉. But don’t change on my account - this is still a free country!

      I caught the 10pm news the other night. They said that starting next week Minnesota will be above average for temps. I give them a 33% chance of getting that right.
