Humminbird vs. MarCum vs. Vexilar - Flasher Screen Brightness

[@readallen]

Omg he's alive, make videos aaron. I need you in my life.

[@crazycorey1313]

yes please make more I'm addicted

[@22michiganboy]

This video was the reason I bought a good ol fl8-se vexilar. Best decision I could have made. The vexilar is so bright and the battery life is so long. Analog flashers may be old school but they really give you a great idea of what’s going on under the ice

[@Wanjiku82]

In general, the TI units are faster in response to inputs. This is seen when quickly switching between sonar, downscan, chart, and split screens kzbin.infoUgkxeAxH15LxhjGlg5-CRYqjTGTEH0tbY4vk recommend The Hook units will show some lag on button pushes and screen switching. The big ticket item though is maps. If you install a mapping card such as Navionics or the free C-Map Genesis which has a lot of map detail, then moving around the map with the cursor or when running down the lake can lag significantly on the Hook units, but is seamless with the TI units.

[@mikegass2272]

My fl-8 cheap vexilar has a real bright screen. No bells& whistles but a reliable cheap unit that works.

[@stevieray667]

Cheap? 400$ dollar.is cheap for you?

[@mikegass2272]

@@stevieray667 my fl-8 was only 270.00$. so its a great unit. not cheap but not 400 00$.

"Cuz you're butter soft and you never leave the ice shack." Aaron Weibe roasting the haters!

[@bransayler]

Lmao. Calling out the butter soft fish house anglers.

[@WheresTheSauce]

hey it's cold out there LOL you try fish outside in -30

[@denniscossman]

Love your videos with a littler humor added in , but love the fact that you review & demonstrate products , it helps consumers & challenges manufacturers to put out the best possible products. Keep up the good work

[@fishinginidaho7308]

Love that your sponsored my hummingbird and your flat out honest. By far the best fishing show out there👍🏻

[@3cool2beans15]

Aaron can you make a video discussing the moon phases. Because everything I hear about this subject needs to come from you so I can believe everyone else;)... please Aaron we enjoy your work.

[@patrickballantyne7887]

Sooo Uncut Angling is no longer brought to us by Humminbird Electronics?

[@HayDog322]

Patrick Ballantyne I was thinking the same thing.I don’t think it’s brought to you by anyone anymore

[@th3_crappi3_kill3r]

Shots fired

[@boonp8893]

HB def not paying him anymore

[@thegoodenoughangler]

I can't wait to see your video that does a deep dive on these units. I can tell you that for us guys that keep our butter soft the hummingbird gets messed up by the interference as soon as you're in 26 feet or more when you're in a fish house with other fashers. Not just a little unclear. You can't see anything. After several attempts and trying all the interference functions with no result I finally bought a flx 28 and have never regretted it.

[@kristopherkelly4658]

I just bought a new flx 20 because my neighbor had an older one and I trusted his. I almost crapped when I saw how crystal clear and bright my new one is on the ice. His was decent but the new design from vexilar just looks better all around. I was happy to see the outcome of this video as well.

[@330Maniac]

Very good video Bud. I run an ice 45 and you're right it shows the brightness difference big time. I fish outside 90% of the time. Ive never tried a Marcum but have owned an Fl8 and it was a great unit. The only reason i havent switch to Vex is because they havent upgraded their zoom to view any part of the water column. Just the top and bottom and i fish tulibee alot. When they fix that ill switch immediately. Most people dont need the entire water column though. Again great vid and tight lines pal.

[@frontierinnovations1713]

I am a Vexilar guy so thank you. Thanks for the video!

[@DavidWilliams-vo8jd]

*I am mainly using this a a depth finder.>>>**allabout.wiki/tcue** and looking for submerged rock piles and structure. Not using the unit to locate fish currently. But it does have that capability for when I do want to use it.*

[@stoopidhead]

Aaron I really wish you would post more for the broke angler. Example: If you could only have 2 Ice fishing multi species rods which one would you get. MANUAL AUGERS , tackle. Cheapest way to get into a flasher ect.

[@bluegilroy2209]

LSD unit😂, always uncut👌! Thanks Aaron!

[@MsPrincesspaulina]

"To get back to the warning that I received, you may take it with how ever many grains of salt you wish, that the brown acid that is circulating around us is not specifically to good. Ah, it's suggested that you do stay away from that. Of course, it's your own trip so be my guest but, ah, please be advised there is warning on that one. Ok? Elliot from Harvard the hitchhikers you need, the hitchhikers you picked up need the pills from your car please go to the information station right away. Louis Picknic your brother is in the Fallsburg Police Station." And a good time was had by all.

[@TheDreamCatchers]

MsPrincesspaulina what the fuck 😂

[@MsPrincesspaulina]

+The Dream Catcher: You have to be a certain age to recognize that quote and know where it comes from. Google, brown acid, if your interested enough to find out.

[@MsPrincesspaulina]

Winston Xion: Google, "the brown acid is bad," and watch the video that shows up. Now you know where my comment comes from. Aaron goofs in this video and says, LSD (acid) rather than LCD (liquid crystal display) So my comment is a famous quote about LSD. My comment is supposed to be a joke for anyone over the age of roughly 40... like me.

[@MsPrincesspaulina]

[@traviscook7231]

Great video! I've been looking for a more in depth video comparing the units and their pros and cons but there isn't too much out there. Appreciate the review.

[@FishOnIsMyHandle]

I believe that is the scene of the famous ice-safety video, is it not ? It is one of my favorites

[@jeremywilmes3757]

FISH ON I think so lol😂😂😂😂😂

[@matt13smithjones]

It is. I believe this is a small char pond close to his house.

[@TheDreamCatchers]

matt13smithjones yeah its a small private pond stocked with broodstock arctic chars and hes filmed tons of ice fishing stuff on that pond

[@matt13smithjones]

The Dream Catcher - private ... how did you know that?

[@RenegadeRiderBC]

just watch his vids...the cat tails in the background dont change

[@ranalloable]

Do I smell a falling out with Humminbird?

[@AdamStew]

Incredible whiskers. 10/10

[@davidchang2250]

I like my ice-55 over those other flashers. It’s true, fishing in the day time with the sun out makes the ice-55 more dimmed but I have no problem with it. But on the BRIGHT side, ice -55 is a much better product when it comes to night fishing due to the fact that the brightness won’t irritate your eyes while fishing.

[@jasonschrantz3049]

David Chang flx 12 night mode!

[@two-time-champ]

Thanks for the side-by-side, but all of that aside, that icy facial hair is the true winner - EPIC!

[@tiredredneck8159]

I got the vexilar aron. Fl18 pro pack. Best ice fishing toy so far.

[@dantso3665]

LSD could help the brightness.

[@maxwellrux5523]

absolutely

[@pipeboy98]

but it would be really hard to fish the hole what with the dragon guarding it and all

[@SamErickson23]

My Canadian savior, love the vids

[@MrPHATSPEED]

Team Vexilar! I went to Vexilar this year and couldn't be happier!

[@josephshackett1391]

Great job Aaron for clearing that up for everyone! Who knew you were so bright! That was sickkkk!

[@kurtisgirdwood6262]

I have a vexilar and love it. Bright, simple and powerful. I am color blind and never had an issue seeing the screen with a vexilar. Others in certain conditions I have trouble seeing. In the shack though, who cares. Use what you like.

[@duetin1470]

You’re a beauty!!! Keep the videos coming. You and Jon B keep me busy on KZbin.

[@shanegood5993]

Your videos are always great. Your super experienced. And definitely always gaining some wisdom from your vids!

[@WideOpenWater]

Great video Aaron! I just upgraded from a FL-12 to a Helix 7 and I’m pumped to test it out today!

[@dalehammertoe5585]

Hey Aaron! I'm a Marcum fan, however! ... Good job buddy! Vexilar will work too. I guess. Haha. Keep the vids coming man, you give many people excitement with your creativity and love for fishing. Thank You!

[@nathanl5091]

Your ramp up from start to 1:05 is mint lol

[@johnrapchuk6485]

love the Marcum lithium shuttle, just for the built in rod holder, pretty slick design

[@jeffzabriskie9689]

the original vexilar had a rod holder on it too...

[@kross1261]

I’ve owned a FL18, Marcum LX5 and a Humminbird 45. I definitely prefer the Marcum. Now I usually fish in a shack but I don’t have a hard time reading it outside. Yes the hummingbird has a large display but the reason I like my Marcum better is the quality of the view and target separation. I’d compare to looking at an older tv to a modern high definition Tv. My buddy just bought an FL18 and after fishing next to me a couple days he wished he had my old LX5. It does burn up the battery more but it’s worth it. Unfortunately when Marcum was bought out a few years back their reliability has gone down but they still make the best flasher in my opinion.

[@williambannister1127]

4:09 That's what I like to hear! Can't wait!

[@judsonmalone4958]

Geez.... I love your videos! Always wicked good. Entertaining and wicked insightful. Thank you for doing them!

[@williambannister1127]

Any Uncut Angling video is a good video.

[@SamErickson23]

Could there be a sight-fishing video coming up???

[@SamErickson23]

big bity yeah, through the ice look back to last year where he did it through the ice, same lake, same area with the shack.

[@N34119]

Dude I freaking love this!!!! I always dreamed of you doing gear reviews or even just Dailey vlogs lol let's see a mtv cribs of your basement and all the gear you accumulated over the years lol

[@natesbaits4413]

Thanks for the great side by side demo. Completely unbiased video , but it made my Vexilar and I feel rather smug. Us bearded men fish outside quite a lot.

[@KyleCarrington]

All units have ample brightness when on LSD

[@jeffzabriskie9689]

I have a super old vexilar that my grandpa never used and when he moved he gave it to me, the thing is more sensitive that a brand new Garmin 93 echomap CHIRP that my buddy took off his boat for hard water fishing

[@aideneckel1516]

I love you channel and the fishing videos better come real quick, else I’m going to go crazy haha but hopefully you’ll be pumping out videos soon!

[@rileyaustad8871]

I have the FL-X-20 and I am in love with it and I have only had problems with it when it is running by a mar-cum.

[@tupacthrockable]

cant you turn your IR up to filter the Marcum? I run Marcum next to my buddies Vex and he has no issues whats so ever.

[@rileyaustad8871]

Throck I have tried to turn my IR up but it doesn’t permanently work it works a little at first then it doesn’t work :/ do you have a newer model mar-cum

[@tupacthrockable]

yes I have a LX3-tci....samething as the new "M" series. Only difference between Lx3-tci and new "M" series is brushless motor which makes no noise. Did Vex maybe change their IR filter strength with the newer FLX series? or is the wattage rating something that makes interference vary? My Marcum is 2000 watt and the new Vex FLX-28 is only 1000 watts. Not expecting you to know this exactly but it sure poses questions on why this is an issue.

[@dennisfalan1623]

I have an FLX 20 also and it is an incredible unit I fish 45 to 65 feet and it is the best I had an ice 35 but the zoom is crap you have to have zoom for bottom hugging perch in 50 ft. of water or you wont see them and that is where the FLX 20 shines and shines brightly!

[@TheSaintCroixBoys]

Do an icefishing version of 39 hours

[@precisionanglingYT]

Great side by side comparison! Always makes me laugh when people get wound up with comparisons!

[@martineaubrosoutdoors5318]

Thank you I’ve never used a flasher before And I’m buying one tomorrow So this helped a lot Love your vidoes

[@dennisfalan1623]

I have an FLX 20 and it is an incredible unit I fish 45 to 65 feet and it is the best I had an ice 35 but the zoom is crap very poor definition.You have to have zoom for bottom hugging perch in 50 ft. of water or you wont see them and that is where the FLX 20 shines and shines brightly!

[@fisherman2359]

The flx 28 is so bright it has a dimmer setting on it for night fishing. Love it

[@uncutangling]

Fisher Man - exactly!!! Haha.

[@Vin3817]

Just bought M3 and I really like it other the reason I bought it because it was on sale $367.99 at Joe's. Great Vid Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@veerman15]

Looking forward to the upcoming fishing videos!

[@TheMcChesneys]

HELP Aaron by watching the commercial and or clicking on them. I am sure he'll use the youtube funds to bring us more great content. It can't be cheap doing all the great video footage and narration.

[@Mymevan]

I AM TRIGGERED! Good video as usual!

[@jerrythao9321]

Whomever disagree must be pretty biase. I fish my lx7 inside my flip but I will go grab my flx every single time im fishing outside and hole hop. The led lights in the the flx is just better in bright situations. I won't fish the flx inside because, even though I can adjust the lighting, it still hurts my eye. This is a perfect evaluation. Forget the haters

[@Kansas_Murph]

Miss your videos 🎉 happy new year 🎈

[@thisluckybuck]

Thanks Aaron I feel like I just watched a GI Joe PSA knowing is half the battle and now we know

[@geneo3654]

I'll take my fl-8 or fl-20 over all others !!!

[@jaredolsen4242]

Great comparison video, hopefully that finally silences the critics. Can't wait for more videos. Oh and if you decide to shave that beard for charity, I will gladly donate.

[@trentfleming4845]

Arron, I can’t get past the frozen moustache lmfao. Keeping it classy!!!! Can’t wait for new videos. You should do 39 hours on ice!!!

[@caseystiner6311]

I have a vexilar fl-8 and With the sun shield and being almost seven years old it is still crazy bright

[@jeremygraves1431]

Love the vexilar. Always and forever

[@knezzer]

Thanks Aaron! Great info. I run a hummingbird ice 35 now and find it suitable for my needs but I don't know how long before my needs change. I mainly fish inside my otter tent.

[@NBedits]

AARON!! You inspire my fishing / KZbin partner and I SOOO much, your videos are great, love them all! You've taught us a lot along the way, so thanks for all you do!! Also, what's up with the Basketball Hoop on the ice!? Seriously confused, is that a little Easter Egg?? Tight Lines my friend!

[@GetSomeTD]

Because your butter soft and you never leave your ice shacks lmao Thanks for keeping it real Aaron

[@henrymostert2125]

Thank you for that on this comparison it's quite obvious when you put them side-by-side

[@kentuuri8272]

Marcum Showdown still my favourite!

[@maximusedmonson]

Hey Aaron, is the Easter egg on your sharp shooting walleye video the microphone and disc at 1:04?

[@wgooetrik]

Have the 35 for 15 years. Never really thought about screen brightness. Never a make or break for me

[@wgooetrik]

Still have the same lead battery too

[@DERRICK_McLOVIN]

"...Your butter soft and never leave the ice shack..." LMAO!!!! Nice!

[@shaneosborne-richards206]

Love the frosty face buddy!

[@Buckshotshoey00]

Did anyone else notice he compared a top of the line Vexilar with and entry level Marcum M1? It's the lithium shuttle that makes it the same price(which was mentioned on video). The 20 should have been compared to the M5, which I believe is brighter. I know the LX5 was brighter then the VX1. Compare the M1 to the FL8 for a fairer comparison.

[@JOE-cv8ky]

Had Marcus and Vexilars. Too many issues with Marcus so I vote Vexilar. No experience on Humminbirds tho. Great Video.

[@JOE-cv8ky]

*Marcums

[@thereelangle]

Good Job Aaron! Loved the comparison video! Thanks brother.

Those that have already made up their mind will die on their swords but this vid is great for those who are at the purchase stage. Good vid, worth producing and sharing.

[@jacobzetocha9663]

Lots of cuts and edits right at the end of the video, looking forward to seeing more ice fishing videos this winter though. Keep up the good work

[@sdushdiu]

Hummingbird should be using an IPS screens avoiding off angle fadeout.

[@fishinfool247]

I have helix 5 gps ice pack and fl 12 love both but yes the humminbird eats battery outside when im inside i set it to 5 and its good to go

[@gre3705]

This was a fun ride

[@zeasty777]

Arron I love your opinion but my humminbird ICE35 is brighter than the humminbird u showed + an experienced fisherman freaked at how clear and bright it was.

[@Mustachio63]

Great job, love my FL 12. But would like the FL 20

[@ronchurly7886]

Great job buddy! Vex all the way lol

[@urness91]

Where is the follow up video of the complete comparison of models for price ranges eh?

[@thankfullife7968]

Sold my FL-18 a few years ago and then bought a new Humminbird Ice-35 February 2017, used it one ice fishing trip to Bay of Quinte over Christmas, what a disappointment. Stopped Boxing Day and bought a new FLX-20. Don’t cheap out if you love to fish buy a Vex.

[@holdintime2904]

You know yesterday I said to myself I hope arron should really upload a new video soon maybe of him ice fishing this isn't really what I had in mind but I'll take it, can't wait for you to get on some big water and some trophy Lakers

[@ericcarlson8648]

Humming bird is the best out of the three with the most features if anyone is wondering. Also it retails under 450 US

[@schmmich2]

please make another video comparing vexialr, marcum, and humminbird

[@NorthwoodsAngling]

That mustache has some flow buddy!!

[@deannowinsky1459]

Wish I would have watched before buying my M5. The new M series by marcum are almost unfishable in sun. My LX6 is definitely brighter. Will be selling my M5 after just one use. Oh, and my brothers Vex FLX 28...super bright even in sunlight. Come on Marcum....get a plan to adjust brightness.
