Vexilar FL-18 Color Flasher Fish Finder FL-18®

The FL-18 boasts features and performance previously not available on a three-color flasher depth finder / fish finder. The FL-18 offers a patented split screen flasher display. This allows you to zoom-in on the bottom six feet while watching the entire water column at the same time in real time! You will be amazed at the performance for bass fishing, walleye fishing, and pan fish on both open water and ice fishing. The Bottom Lock feature stays locked on the bottom even as the boat is bouncing up and down in big waves! The Auto Zoom mode is fantastic for watching Perch or Walleye while ice fishing. These fish commonly hold tight on the bottom, and with a target ID of less than 1/2 inch, the FL-18 makes them easy to spot!

And that's not all. The FL-18 depth finder / fish finder is equipped with features like a built-in shallow water mode for fishing waters under 15 feet. Five depth scales down to 200 feet for the standard model, and down to 300 feet for the custom deep model. Built-in interference rejection. A three color LED readout that tells you if the targets you see are weak (green) medium (orange) or strong (red). This three color LED technology has proven to be the most reliable and accurate way of understanding where fish are holding.


Free Instructional DVDFeatures:

  • Auto Zoom Mode (AZ) - Gives a half screen zoom window of the bottom six feet of depth. No matter if you're in 10 feet or 100 feet, the bottom six feet always fills half of the screen. This gives you resolution never before possible in deep water!
  • Bottom Lock Mode (BL) - Works the same as Auto Zoom, but locks the bottom so it will not move with changes in depth or boat motion. Spot a Walleye near the bottom at 40 m.p.h.!
  • Low Power Mode (LP) - Reduces the output power by 50%. This feature takes the place of the Vexilar S-Cable. Both the AZ and BL modes are available within the LP mode.
  • Super Bright and Rock Solid Display - The new Light Emitting Diodes along with a high power driver circuit and a screaming fast wheel speed gives the FL-18s display unmatched brightness and signal clarity.
  • Five Depth Ranges - The Standard FL-18 includes 20', 40', 60', 80', and 200 foot ranges. The Deep Range unit includes 30', 60', 90', 120', and 300 foot ranges.
  • Interference Rejection - Pressing in on the Gain knob cycles you through ten different IR setting to allow you to knock out interference from another close by depth finder.
  • Two-Year warranty
  • Uses all Vexilar "FL" series transducers

FL-18 Color FlasherInstant Feedback

Did you know that you can easily install a puck transducer to the bottom your trolling motor or even to the bottom of your glass boat for your Vexilar flasher? It's pretty simple! A lot of anglers think ice fishing when you speak of Vexilar. Why wouldn't any angler want the same detail you can get while ice fishing for open water fishing? If you can see a tiny split shot on your screen when fishing on hard water, just think of what you can see with a Vexilar flasher!

I've long believed the Vexilar flasher is superior to any graph of any kind for most open water fishing. The biggest advantage is the real time...what I see is what's down there NOW. That's why I installed the puck transducer to my bow mount trolling motor for my Vexilar FL-18 in the bow. This is where I do much of my walleye fishing. When I spot a fish on the Vexilar FL-18, I know it's right below the trolling motor, and there's a good probability my bait will pass right past the fish, as well as the baits of those in the back of the boat, assuming I maintain the same course.

FL-18 Color FlasherFL-18 on Structure

Summer use of the FL-18 is truly the only unit I will use when fishing mid-lake structure for walleyes. The smallest details when walleye fishing may make or break your day, and the instantaneous reading that I get from my FL-18 tells me exactly where that fish is holding on the structure.
