I want to buy a vexlair or marcum. I know a ton of stores carry them, but also the price can vary like a rollercoaster. What store would I get the most bang for my buck??
Its not a store, but you could check out Ebay, I’m sure there will be some FL-18s available since the FL-20 has started to hit the shelves. You could also look at Vexilar’s Factory Outlet, they have reconditioned units at a discount price and they carry the same warranty as new (2 years).

I’d try to find a marcum, I think you get more for money with them vs vexlair. I have had both switched lasted year to marcum. In my opinion it’s a all around better buy.

I have a lx3 tc that I bought reconditioned last year. It looks and performs like new. For the product you cant beat the price at the fishing pro store!

I was all set to buy a reconditioned FL-18 on Vexilar’s website but happened to stop in to Fleet Farm in Brooklyn Park to find one (Genz Box set-up) for $350 which is only $11 higher than the reconditioned one. They also seemed to have some good prices on FL-8s. For the most part though if you check around all the prices are pretty close.

I like the reconditioned idea. I have bought reconditioned electronics in the past and have never had a problem. I like it that much more that it has a warranty. But to change the toppic a little bit, is it worth it to pay extra for the Pro Pack II or should I just go with the Genz Pack?

If I was looking for a new unit I would buy it from one of the sponsors here on the website. You gotta remember that all the advice and help they give us here is free, and they are always willing to help. so I would keep my buisness here.

Thats one reason I have a 7″ lazer power auger. My buddy had the 10″ mag 2000 and I couldnt even tell you how many things sliped down his hole that were his…..and mine ” title=”” class=”bbcode_smiley” />
Down the hole Chris? How big was the hole? We have a 9″ auger and my propack won’t fit down that hole thank god since there has been a few times it slid near the hole.
