Before getting to the weekly letter and update, I must say that my fishing season has one more night trip left in it and that will happen in the next week. It was sure a great season and it is hard to believe that another year has come and gone. I will be putting the boat and equipment for the open water away and getting those ice fishing rods and equipment ready. Thanks again for another great year and I'm already looking forward to next season!
So with deer season less then one week away and that first ice coming right behind that, no better time than now to discuss the new equipment for ice fishing, or in the case the proven ice equipment, Vexilar Electronics.
Each year more and more items hit the market that typically bring a new technology to fishing which allows anglers to be better anglers during the time they spend chasing the fish of choice. Vexilar has been building the best ice flashers in the industry since the 1960's. This season new flashers from Hummingbird will hit the ice fishing world and no better time then now to get the facts about these products.
Battery life is very important to all anglers and one should know that the Vexilar battery life consume less battery then all others on the market, in fact one can get 30 hours of use on one fully charged battery, where others units are ranging from 9-12 hours.
Vexilar has the best warranty in the industry, where most other unit have a one-year warranty, Vexialr is the only unit to offer an optional 2-years when you purchase a unit.
Dual Beam Ice-ducer: Here Vexilar is the only unit to offer dual beams from it's ducer, meaning it uses two separate crystals. While some offer dual frequency, they only offer one crystal. The crystals are the key component to all units and Vexilar uses only the best barium titanate, which allows for better performance under all temperatures. The crystals are the source which takes the outgoing electrical pules and converts them into sounds waves. This process allows anglers to read bottom and fish. More times than not when a unit is not able to read fish or bottom, the crystals are weak and the Ice-ducer likely needs to be replaced. More frequency in a unit will vibrate the crystals too much which in the end shortens the life of the Ice-ducer. More frequency is not the answer. Having an unit with the matching frequency and crystals is key, which Vexilar does. Vexilar only offers the correct amount of frequency based on what the crystals are rated for.
Ease of Use: There are fewer buttons or knobs with a Vexilar making it easier to use with less things that can break or go wrong.
Pre-assembled: Here is one that should convince you that Vexilar is the only choice if the others haven't. All Vexilar units are factory pre-assembled, inspected and tested in Minneapolis, Minnesota, where most of the others are overseas.
So as you look to the upcoming ice season and look to buy a new flasher for the ice, please consider the facts of the most proven flasher on the market and one doesn't need to look any further then a Vexilar. Whether your after a Genz pack or the FL-20 or FL-18 ultra pack, Vexilar has what you need and you will find a Vexilar unit as the best ice fishing unit on the market. If you have any further questions on the Ice fishing flashers, feel free to give me a call or visit Vexilar's website at www.vexilar.com.
Good luck hunting and think ice!
