    Anyone wanting to upgrade their electronics by selling their gently used flasher?

    I am looking for a flasher. $400 is kind of my limit. Missed out on an lx3 posted on Kijiji this weekend.

    Let me know what you are willing to part ways with.

    Thanks for the replies. Had an opportunity to test drive @abousetta 's ice55 this weekend. Awesome unit. Just can't justify spending the cash for a flasher that I have a really difficult time reading... My red/green color blindness makes the bottom really hard to decipher. Even using the six color palette didn't help... :(.
    Thanks again @abousetta for letting me give your unit a whirl!
    Please move this post to SOLD.
    Thanks.

    Maybe check this out. Not sure if it will help. Mentions that it works for colour blind users.

    The trollers are plagued with issues.

    Anytime. Sorry it didn't work out, but glad you got a chance to try it on the ice.

    Would a tinted piece of plastic over the screen change the colours ? Most units are only 3 colours. Maybe the 6 colours was even harder?

    Bottom is bottom it never moves. you know what mark is your lure because it is in sync with your jigging motions. Any other mark on the screen would be a fish. Especially watching it follow a lure up is the most important part, or suspended marks.
    I think if my flasher was all one colour I would still want it and would think it's still useful. But I also don't have colour blindness so maybe it is harder to see the difference than I think
