My problem

[g]

Thanks Bobby. I have it narrowed down to the Vex FLX-28 or the Marcum LX6 or LX7.  Either one of them would be more than adequate. I have the Vex FL-18 now and love it. The only advantage with the Marcum is being able to move the zoom throughout the water column. Have to compare prices and go from there.

Is there such a thing as to much stuff? I just made a deal on another shanty. It's a two man flip that seemed cheap. It's a HT and it was $175.

I used to think you couldn't have too much stuff. Now it depends. If I don't use it, I think I have too much stuff. You can never have too many lures, need to cover sizes and colors, and always need a good selection of rods. Wouldn't mind a spare snowmobile again. All in due time.

G I know one of the things they talk about is the vex fits in a bucket and I'm not sure about other ones.

That is the one drawback with the Marcum LX 7, it doesn't fit in a 5 gal. bucket. Won't be a problem on the ice, will be in my sled. Will be awkward to carry at the dock tourneys but I can always use my Vex at the dock tourneys.
