    Trying to decide on getting a vexilar glo ring or ice jager glo cup. Mounting it to lx 7 without a shuttle. Just looking for opinions on either?

    I just added a vexlar glow ring to my helix I like them better cause they will double as a rod holder.

    Did you cut a hole in the fabric case to mount that glow ring?

    No I made a plate screwed that to the handle underneath the case then skrewed the glow ring mount thru the case into the plate I made. Works good and solid and didnt reck the case either the power switch is in the pocket on the side of the case then.

    I’m confused, are you saying the screw used to mount the glow ring does not cut a hole through the fabric case?

    It will poke a small hole in it but your not using lag bolts or cutting a big slit in the case to mount it.its just an option to mount it if you still want the original case without destroying it or getting a shuttle.

    If there is a better easier option of mounting it please share it for future projects. I have a lx7 I want to mount one to also.

    I picked up a small adjustable multi angle clamp from amazon.

    I secure the clamp to base of the carrying bag.

    When not in use I put the glow ring in with the transducer and the clamp in my bucket.

    Works well.

    ETA-this is the clamp I got. I mounted the glow ring mount to one of the attachments. Then I reamed out the vexilar mount with a drill bit so the cup can slide in and out.
