how do you like using the lcd locator vs a flasher?

I've never used a flasher, but I've fished next to guys using a flasher while I was using this. Overall, I'd say the flasher does a better job. It has a little quicker response time. For some reason, when my jig is within about a foot of the bottom, the mark dissolves into the bottom. So I usually end up jigging 18" up to see my bait with room for a fish mark to show up underneath. It has a wider cone angle than the vexilars I've fished next to. I usually marked fish first, regardless of who made the catch. Advantages are using AA batteries instead of a heavy SLA that needs to be hooked up to a charger, and price (though mine is the cheapest black and white version).

My dad used lcd locators designed for mounting to an actual boat and built a carrying box with battery compartment. It functioned similarly. While not as great as a $500 vexilar or marcum, they get the job done and perform well considering the ~$70-120 you invest in it.

Cool.
