Garmin Striker Plus 4 Ice Fishing Bundle, Includes Portable Striker Plus 4 Fishfinder and Dual Beam-IF Transducer

Great unit! Only used it for ice fishing so far. The battery life almost unbelievable. Ran it for a solid 15 over night in an ice shanty and never shutoff on me. Used it in the extreme cold conditions as well of -5 degrees F with no issues. Very user friendly and easy to dial in! You can’t go wrong with this unit and blew my expectations away for the price!

Excellent product. easy to use.

Great product easy to use. I replaced the stock battery with a lithium for longer battery life.

My favourite fish finder, easy to use, good price point and high quality. Recommend this to everyone.

I've used Vexilar FL8, Marcum Lx3, Lowrance X67c, and Humminbird Helix 5. This is better than all of them, with the old Lowrance being the closest. I think if I wanted a unit for both open water and ice I'd look both at this and the Humminbird Helix line. For ice, this is better due to the vertical screen layout. It's hard to make use of the horizontal real estate on the Helix machines and I always found myself wanting more vertical room. For open water fishing it's the opposite - the more horizontal screen would be more useful. As to the fish finding ability, target separation is good, screen is bright enough for my purposes. Battery life is good for a graph, though still not as good as a simple flasher. There's so many more options and customization here vs. a flasher. I'd say for someone who's buying a first ice fishing fish finder, if you want something easy to learn that just works go with a flasher like Vexilar fl8, Marcum lx3 or Humminbird Ice 35. For those who like to dig into menus and customize and set up something exactly how you want it, this unit is tough to beat. For someone who wants a year-round unit, it's either this or the Helix line. The choice probably comes down to what kind of fishing you do more and whether the vertical or horizontal screen suits your needs better. The battery life on this much better than my Helix 5. Edit: the price on this went up since my review. At current price ($300ish) you'd be better to get the Striker 4 portable kit (which comes with the open water style transducer) and buy the ice transducer separate for $80. You'd get both transducers, and still be below the current price of the ice fishing bundle.
