General Discussion / Vexilar fl-8 vs Vexilar fl-18 Shallow Water
« on: December 29, 2017, 02:38:22 PM »
Hey guys,
It looks like the ice has arrived! I'm wanting to buy a new Vexilar flasher this year. It looks like I'll either get the fl-8 or the fl-18. As you all know, a lot of the fishing in Ohio is done in under 10 ft of water (Kiser, Indian, Ft. Loramie, etc.). With that in mind, which of these flashers should I get? The fl-8 has the 19 degree transducer and the fl-18 comes with the 12 degree. I know the fl-18 is a better unit, but I'm concerned about the 12 degree in shallow water. Will that limit my abilities to use it? Do you guys use the 12 degree in shallow water? I know I can buy the tri beam transducer but that won't happen this year. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Good luck and stay safe.
