It really does. Повір мені.
There have been good points made here on both sides of this debate re using or not using flashers. I believe you become a better fisher using instincts and intuition without a flasher but verifying your instincts with one also adds value.
I use one about 50% of the time I fish, using it either when I'm in deeper water or when I am fishing in cloudy water and cannot see the hook at the depth I'm fishing. I have on occasion used one to find out if the targeted species are in the area, verifying water depth, suspension depths, and reaction to the presentation. But then I have moved holes and left the flasher in the original hole now relying on past gained experience to close the deal. I purchased a Marcum LXI-5 a few years ago and could not be happier with the results. I bought this one because of the fantastic service I received from Marcum when my camera failed. They replaced it without question even though the warranty has officially expired about 3 weeks earlier. I gained a lot of respect for this brand because of the painless experience i had replacing a defective camera.
I could recommend this brand and model without reservation.
Cheers
