FLX-28 Color Mode Operation
On the top MODE setting control knob you have the “CS” option on the switch, this stands
for “Color Select.” Simply switch the MODE switch to CS and then tap (push in) the top
gain switch while the flasher is on. The FLX-28 display will tell you what color setting you
are selecting from scheme 1 through 5. Your FLX-28 will remain in whatever color palette
you select until you manually change it again.

In this application, green shows you the weakest signals
below you. Commonly weeds are shown in green and
even your lure sometimes would be shown as green.
If you turn up the gain setting, that same green signal
will change to yellow or maybe even red. Yellow is the
next strongest signal and then red, which will be on your
display at the zero mark and again to show you bottom.
The beauty of the Vexilar three-color system is that you are
able to adjust your gain so that a fish target at the outer
edges of the signal will be green and as it approaches your lure
will shift to yellow and then red when the fish is directly below your hole.

The more you use a Vexilar, the more you are confronted with
situations where you will often be seeing a lot of green
in your display. Heavy weeds, for example, or in some
lakes where tiny bugs are so thick on a lake at night they
trigger a green cloud on your display. By taking out the
green, you take out much of the confusing signals that
you normally have to fish around. In this setting, your lure
will be yellow and you will notice that fish will “suddenly
appear” more, since the weaker green signal is no longer
there to alert you of a fish on the outer edge of your coverage.

While color setting #2 limits some of the signals you could
display, color option #3 goes to the opposite end of the
spectrum. With green once again being the weakest
signal, the yellow stronger and the red now becomes not
the strongest signal but the SECOND to the strongest.
White becomes the strongest color now. The advantage
of the four colors will be to allow you to target specific
fish that are directly below you, if you are fishing a school
of fish for example. It is often called a “Christmas Tree”
