thanks in advance for your time,

20 degrees means that the beam is 3.5 feet across for every 10 feet of water depth that you have. I wish Marcum had a 12 degree cone or something a little more narrow. 20 degree is really wide when you get into deeper water.

I'm happy with my LX-2. The VX-1 is the same thing as the LX-2. They discontinued the LX-2 and upgraded the VX-1

I just got a VX-1 on sale at Cabelas the other day for $279 I think it was and love it. They aren't marked down at the store but they will match the online price if you ask. I've never used a flasher before, I have no idea how I fished without it. Still figuring it out but it's the coolest thing seeing the blip move to your bait then you are getting a bite! That's cool!
