Welcome to our Vexilar FL 8 SE Review!
Our opinion of the Vexilar FL 8 SE after reviewing it is that it’s a great fishfinder/flasher for Ice-fishing. It’s almost like a fishfinder for boats, but it has a transducer attached to a float that’s adjustable so you can change its size depending on the depth of the ice you’re trying to fish in.
It usually runs about 250-400 on Amazon.
The float should stay near you at the top of the water, and the transducer is able to float down into the water.
The reading on the chart will give you the depth of the lake and will also find fish for you.
The advantage of using this fishfinder is you can find the bottom of the lake, stick your pole into the ice, and then the red dots around the display will show you where the fish is.
By using the red, yellow, and green areas on the display, you can see where your jig is compared to the bottom of the body of water, the fish around it, and any debris in the water.
This works very effectively and will also show you where any sticks or debris are to avoid getting your jig stuck in any unsavory extras.
It goes up to 30 feet in depth which should be enough for fishing in ice, in shallow water.
Ice fishing isn’t easy, but it’s much easier to figure out whether you’re getting close to a catch when you have the Vexilar FL 8 SE. Our review is that this is a great unit for ice fishing and will definitely help you get a bigger catch when you’re ice fishing.
After evaluating this unit, we’ve decided it’s a must-have for ice fishing.
