Founded in 1960, Vexilar, Inc. has a long his-

tory of bringing revolutionary technology to the
sport fishing industry.  Just some of the Vexilar
firsts include: the first liquid crystal display, the
first fish alarm, the first three color display, and
the first CRT and straight line paper graphs, for

the sport fisherman. The FL-8SLT was the first true interference Rejection
unit. And now with the FL-8SE we bring you the next generation.
