Our list of reviews on the ice fishing flashers take a front and center look at the Marcum LX-3 fish finder. The Marcum fish finders are well known to be quality flashers with a great reputation and a long list of features for your dollar. The LX-3 is the middle unit in the Marcum line of ice fishing flashers. It builds on the great baseline unit the Marcum VX-1 and adds functionality for the ice angler who is a little more discerning in his ice fishing gear. Without further blabbering on my part, here is the LX-3 review. For those looking for my other Marcum flasher reviews please see the following:

Key Features of the Marcum LX-3
Again, most anglers can get by with a baseline unit, but if you want a few more features you are going to have to step up in price and in the flasher line. The biggest difference noticed by ice fishermen is from no flasher to a flasher, but for those that are well versed in the flasher game the LX-3 does offer some nice features. In addition to the great features on the VX-1 such as a 3 color sonar system, that shows the difference between small, medium and large objects (small or far away objects are shown in green, medium in yellow and large fish are shown in red) you get more power, better target separation and an adjustable zoom. The VX-1 has an impressive 1,000 watts peak to peak power, but the LX-3 brings it to the next level and goes to 1,500 watts of peak to peak power. While the VX-1 has a bottom zoom where the bottom 6 feet is shown in more detail, the LX-3 has an adjustable zoom that allows you to zoom anywhere in the water column. This can be especially important when ice fishing crappie and a little less so when you are ice fishing walleye since crappies tend to suspend over deep water and walleyes tend to hug the bottom. When compared to the Vexilar FL-12 (the mid point Vexilar unit) you get a lot more features for the same money.
Marcum LX-3 prices
Unlike the baseline VX-1 unit, you are going to need to pony up a bit more scratch to get yourself into a Marcum LX-3. While the VX-1 tends to be around $300, the LX-3 is another $100 and retails at around $400.
Where can I find the best Marcum LX-3 price online?
The age old question since Al Gore invented the internet, the best places I have found to look are the same places people talk about all the time: Ebay and Craigslist. I generally point people in the direction of Ebay for those that want assurances that the unit will work (PayPal has very buyer friendly policies and can make sure you are covered if you get a unit that doesn’t work). If you are willing to forgo the consumer friendly policies of PayPal for a chance to save some money on shipping and overall cost, craigslist is great place to look, especially if you are in a populated city that has an active CL presence. If you look around you can at times find small sales on these units (like 5% off to maybe 10% off) at respected retailers like Cabelas and Red Rock Store), but generally you won’t find the best deals at these places.
Final recommendation on the Marcum LX-3
When it comes to ice fishing flashers I think that the Marcum line is a hard line to beat given their features for the price. I personally steer people towards a baseline unit for the bang for the buck, but if you are looking to get a little more out of your flasher I think that the LX-3 is a solid choice. In terms of longevity and quality rep it is on par with the Vexilar with one key exception and the price point is the same. However, it has more features than Vexilar and therefore I generally suggest going with a Marcum even though the Vexilars are fine units in and of themselves.
What are your experiences with the Marcum LX-3? What would you tell someone that is in the market for a flasher and is considering the LX-3?
