One thing to keep in mind is that all ice fishing flashers hold their value very well. The manufacturers are notorious for not running fire sales on their inventories and therefore you will be hard pressed to find a steal of a deal from a retail store. In addition this key piece of ice fishing gear for the modern ice angler is known to work flawlessly for years and therefore buying a used one is something that will serve you well. But it is these very things that conspire to keep the prices of used flashers high. If you look long enough though you can find a good deal on a used unit. A standard price on a used unit will be 75% to 80% of retail price. However, if you are persistent you can find one that will sell for 50% to 60%.
The most common and baseline model is the Vexilar FL-8. Finding a used Vexilar FL-8 for sale isn’t hard as they are the most common and you can find people that have decided to trade up to a higher end model such as the FL-12, Fl-18, or the FL-20. In addition, these models have been produced for quite some time. A standard price on these units is $250, but if you look for a while you can find one for $125 to $175.
If you are looking for a used Vexilar FL-20 for sale you might have to be a bit more patient. There is no unit to upgrade to with the Vexilar family and the majority of anglers that have purchased this unit are in it for the long haul. This isn’t to say that it is impossible. Since these units retail much higher you will be forced to pay a higher premium when you find that used unit. A standard deal would be $350-$400 for a used FL-20 for sale, but if you wait long enough you can usually find one for $300 or so.
When it comes to ice fishing equipment, perhaps nothing is more imperative to continued success than an ice fishing flasher. Vexilar is a known brand that has a great track record in terms of reliability. If you are in the market for a used ice fishing flasher, Vexilar is a good choice to start.
