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. Now, with the FL-8SLT, we bring you the first true
interference Rejection unit. Again, Vexilar leads, while the others follow.
