Which Vexilar Should I Buy

OK, so you have decided to buy a Vexilar flasher. But which system do you buy? First, there is the unit, some offer a deep range version. Then there are three styles of transducers to choose from. And, in that, there are 4 transducer beam types to choose from. And do you want just the unit or the complete portable system for ice fishing or boat use? The choices can get a bit overwhelming.

To get the system you really need, you have to ask yourself two questions. One, what kind of fishing do you do most often? And two, what kind of mounting requirements do you have? With these questions answered, you can choose the proper unit, transducer, cone angle, and mounting method.
