The FL-20® Ultra Pack
The Ultra Pack is the ideal name for the most feature packed ice fishing system ever offered by Vexilar. The Ultra Pack system’s innovation begins with a 12 volt, 9 amp-hour battery enclosed inside the case, so you don’t need to connect or disconnect your battery after each use. A master power switch powers up your unit and remote charging posts make it easy to re-charge. The Ultra Pack System comes with a Vexilar D-130 Battery Status Indicator built-in to let you know the status of your battery while fishing. The case comes with an adjustable rod holder, cable storage cleats, battery charger and even your own Vexilar tackle box! The super tough Ultra Pack will fit into a five gallon bucket. An optional soft pack carrying case is also available. All Ultra Pack Systems are factory assembled and tested here in the USA.
The Ultra Pack comes completely assembled and ready to fish with. It also includes an instructional video.
The dawn of a new era in sport fishing sonar is at hand with the FL-20 from Vexilar. Packed with features and enhanced sonar performance, the FL-20 promises to deliver live action, three-color sonar that will change the face of fishing. The FL-20 has a sleek profile with a bigger display, and two auto zoom ranges that split the display screen to let you focus in on just the bottom 6 or 12 feet of the water column. It offers target ID down to inch and displays depths down to 300 feet. The all new 20 foot Low Power range setting aids fishing in shallow water or thick weeds. The FL-20 comes with a night and day mode. The night setting allows you to cut the output of the LED display by 50 percent to avoid getting night blindness when looking at the super bright LEDs. The FL20 also comes with a low battery indicator. The FL-20 is the ultimate multi-season sonar system.

FL-20
- Auto Zoom Mode (AZ) - Gives a half screen zoom window of the bottom six feet of depth. No matter if you're in 10 feet or 100 feet, the bottom six feet always fills half of the screen. This gives you resolution never before possible in deep water!
- Bottom Lock Mode (BL) - Works the same as Auto Zoom, but locks the bottom so it will not move with changes in depth or boat motion. Spot a Walleye near the bottom at 40 m.p.h.!
- Low Power Mode (LP) - Reduces the output power by 50%. This feature takes the place of the Vexilar S-Cable. Both the AZ and BL modes are available within the LP mode.
- Super Bright and Rock Solid Display - The new Light Emitting Diodes along with a high power driver circuit and a screaming fast wheel speed gives the FL-18s display unmatched brightness and signal clarity.
- Five Depth Ranges - The Standard FL-18 includes 20', 40', 60', 80', and 200 foot ranges. The Deep Range unit includes 30', 60', 90', 120', and 300 foot ranges.
- Interference Rejection - Pressing in on the Gain knob cycles you through ten different IR setting to allow you to knock out interference from another close by depth finder.
- Two-year warranty (One-year on battery)

Deep Water Panfish
One of my ice fishing strategies is to go into a crowd of fisherman to see what type of spot they are fishing. By using my FL-20 I find out if its deep? Shallow? Hard or soft bottom? And how close is it to really deep water? By studying the characteristics of the spot, you can often find similar spots by looking at a contour map of the lake, and get off to a new-hot spot that's all yours.
Also, to me finesse is quickly finding fish, getting a lure down to them quickly that the will eat, and catching fish. Finesse is akin to efficiency in my mind. How long does it take me to do something? I talk about using jigs that fish heavy for their size and show up on my Vexilar depth finder display, because once I spot a fish on my FL-20 I want to drop down to them as fast as I can, even if purposely slow down the rate of fall 5-10 feet of the fish. If I'm fishing 22 feet of water, I want the jig to drop the first 15 fast and hard before I slow it down. I use the thickest line that will hang straight with the weight of my jig. Sometimes that means 2 pound test Micro Ice for panfish, and other times 8 pound test for walleyes.
Deep Water Panfish
Using the FL-20 with a 12 degree transducer fishing for deep water panfish and a little practice using the zoom feature properly dialing in the gain on the FL-20 one will be able to distinguish a larger panfish from a smaller one by the size of the mark on the zoom side of the screen.
One of the things I have learned over the years when fishing an area that has a mixed bag of panfish is how easy it is to tell if the finicky fish on the bottom are perch. When marking fish tight to the bottom in zoom mode I will lower the bait to several feet above them coaxing them in – if the fish zooms up to my bait and does not take it a bluegill/crappie will slowly disappear back to the bottom or out of the cone angle while a perch a lot of time moves fast back down to the bottom. Thus telling me instantly that I need to change up and alter my approach to the species that is there.
