    I had a chance to man the Marcum Booth at the Thorne Brothers Portable Modification Event this past Saturday, and things were looking up! All in all, we took orders for quite a few units, mostly LX-5’s. In typical Thorne Brothers fashion, there were some great specials with 5% off all electronics, along with a free Marcum Ice Bag, so this probably had something to do with it. At the same time, the new pricing this year is about $100 reduced from the previous year, making it not only the best flasher on the market, but one of the most reasonably priced flashers in quite some time.

    Is it sad to say I’m already looking forward to the St. Paul Ice Show?

    Here’s some pics from the booth!

    Way cool Joel

    I can’t wait to take the LX-5 out of the boat and heat it up on the ice

    That price will be able to compete with other flasher companies

    All other top end brands were well over $500 bucks last year as well..When I worked at Cabelas 3 years ago flashers were over 500 then as well… I think this may be a common concept for most in the industry in the coming months…..lowering prices…Its a win for all icefishermen.

    Wow, that’s something I’ve never seen before….a substantial drop in MSRP? That’s great prices for incredible flashers.

    When is the Ice show this year?

    Slider, this is the ice fishing forum. Are you lost?

    Looking forward to some hardwater and hours of staring at my Lx-5.
