Garmin 010-01550-00 Striker 4 with Transducer, 3.5" GPS Fishfinder with Chirp

This is a great finder for the money. For ice fishing I started w the supplied transducer and made a mount with pvc pipe. It was difficult to get set right, so I bought the ice fishing transducer which helped a lot. It would accurately mark fish and the jigs, my 5 yr old loved it and became pretty good at using it. This summer I used my pvc mount and attached it, to my raft frame again it worked very well for the money. Great budget buy. Also I took an old ammo can and made it into a carrying case for the battery and transdeucer, then mounted the screen on top of that, great little compact unit. When I get home I just hook it up to the trickle charger never had a problem w battery.

excelente

First fishfinder, so I'm no Bill Dance. Can't compare to other models. I mounted it to my trolling motor... as opposed to drilling it into the hull of my boat. Much easier, works well. Knowing the depth is super helpful, not only for fishing, but for navigating... I only use it at speeds a little above idle... it cuts out if you're trying to go fast.... Shows "fish arcs" and blobs of baitfish, not to mention the shape and contour of the bottom. I can see the screen easily in full sunlight with sunglasses on... don't know why some folks say the screen isn't bright enough. I run it off a deep cycle battery that I also use for trolling. Worked all day with the trolling motor pulling on battery as well... it also shows the voltage output from the battery which is super helpful. Only downside- the battery hookups are super frail thin wire. I literally crimped them into the trolling motor alligator clips and then taped them up really well. You're going to have to figure something out to keep the wires held securely in place... but other than that everything is great. The directions are easy to follow... they are lacking though as far as the power hookup goes. Just remember red positive, black negative.... you're good to go. Still learning the features, but has gps, speed, water temp... all really useful. Can keep my boat trolling consistently at 1.2 mph. Great little unit, highly satisfied, affordable and works well for my little fishing setup. Will update if it stops working. If no update, assume she still works great! I have a feeling it will hold up just fine.

Update: upgraded from 3 stars to 4 stars. Would be 5 stars, but I have to keep one star off for having had to go through an exchange. My original unit from Amazon was defective and had power issues. After a couple of weeks of emails with Garmin and attempts to troubleshoot--including them sending me a new power cable--Garmin did an RMA exchange and sent me a new unit. I took it out today, no power issues whatsoever, and it worked flawlessly. It's nice to know that Garmin does stand behind its product. See below for the actual review. --- --- --- --- Lots of features in such an affordable package. I can't imaging boating without it--and I don't even fish. The GPS is useful and very flexible. I use the GPS track feature to map the perimeter of the lakes, which is super nice to have since these cheap fishfinders don't have charts. I do a lot of birding photography, and this is perfect for mapping my favorite birds. The sonar also gives me a good idea of where birds might hunt for fish, so I mark dense fishing areas on the GPS, too. For a while, my boat's speedometer was clogged, so it's nice to have reliable GPS speed on this unit, too. Other than being useful for discovering potential hunting hotspots used by birds, I use the sonar to keep my boat out of trouble in shallow waters. It is so nice to be able to see what's under the boat and to tell how deep the water is. I probably wouldn't be as concerned if I had an aluminum bottom boat, but I have a fiberglass hull--those are not meant to take a pounding, so I steer clear of shallows by setting depth alarms. If I had to do it all over again on the same budget--power issues notwithstanding--I would definitely buy this. Now that I have had a taste, I do wish I sprang a little more cash for a Plus CV unit for the contour mapping feature and for the clear vu radar, which looks pretty nice. And, my dream unit is one of those echomap units because they come with charts and have all the features of the striker series, but I'm just doing lake boating, so I don't really *neeeeeed* charts other than for the satisfaction of knowing I could have them. Anyway, I fully recommend this product for anyone with a powerboat, and I am sure I would be just as useful for people who do kayaking, too.

This will change your game if you're on a kayak, like me. So, I'm going to use this moment of your attention to not just promote this device, but also the battery I'm using to run it. I only use kayaks, so bringing a massive trolling motor, and particularly, battery is a no go. Real estate on a kayak is expensive, and sticking all that mass just isn't happening. The instructions for every fishfinder I've found always states wiring it up to your battery. Not happening. But this finder requires a low enough starting amperage to make it possible with a cheap handheld battery. I use this one: https://www.amazon.com/TalentCell-Rechargeable-12000mAh-Multi-led-indicator/dp/B00ME3ZH7C along with this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01J1WZENK to hook it all together. At about 4 hours on a lake and only a quarter of the batteries charge was used. You should probably find a waterproof battery or waterproof it yourself, but the one I linked at least provides the specks you should look for. Anyways, this thing is awesome, it's portable - it's what you want if you have the ability to just "get up and go." Sure, the big $500 are probably better, if you're taking a massive boat out and whatnot, but if that's not you, this is the Finder you need.

Got this for my kayak and it seems to work well!

ワカサギのボート釣りに使用。魚探は初めてだったが操作がシンプルなので特に取扱説明書を読まなくても問題なく使えます。表示内容も安価な魚探のように簡易的なものでなく本格的。仕掛けが落ちていく軌跡もはっきりと映し出されるので棚カウンターの無い手巻きリールでも中層の群れに仕掛けを入れることができます。 取説は英語ですが、付属のものはもともと取り付けパーツの組立説明くらいしか書いてないのでイラストのみで判断できます。ちゃんとした取説がなくて困るのはどんな機能があるかが細かく把握できないことですが、海外モノですがYouTubeの「Garmin Striker 4 Sonar Features」「Garmin Striker 4 Waypoint GPS Navigation Features」で細かくレビューしてくれてますので英語が分からなくてもどんな機能があるかだいたい分かります。 私がワカサギ釣で便利と感じているのは「Zoom」と「A-Scope」です。私がよく行く釣り場は水深10m前後ですが、ベタ底で反応が出ることが多く湖底と魚影の判断が紛らわしいのですが、「Zoom」で底を拡大表示することで画面が小さくても判断しやすくなります。 「A-Scope」は商品説明にもあるフラッシャー表示を円ではなく通常表示の横に縦に表示してくれるもので魚影の分布をリアルタイムで判断しやすくなっています。 GPS機能は便利そうですが、よく行く場所なのでポイントは周辺の景色で判断できてしまうので使っていません。 バッテリーは付いていないので別で準備する必要がありますが、手近で好みのものを使用状況に応じて選べるのでかえって便利かも。私は「LONG WP5-12E 12V5Ah」を使っていますが、7:00～16:00までつけっぱなしで問題なく使えています。 振動子は付属の取り付けパーツを一部利用してホームセンターで買ったアルミアングルと組み合わせてレンタルボート専用にコンパクトなものを自作して取り付けています。 他の魚探とあれこれ比較してけっこう迷いましたがこちらを購入して良かったと感じています。 とにかくコスパは高いと思います。

Tudo nos conformes. Depois de comprar fiquei com dúvida, tem descrição errada do produto, achei que tinha comprado com a tela maior.

كما هو موضح و مكتوب لك لو كان فيه بكج مع البطارية اريح من الانتقال من مكان الى اخر بحثا عنها

I didn’t like this product and I have to return it back. Please help me to return it

I have paid a lot more for finders that worked a lot less. Simple to operate. You decide how complex you want to be. Been fishing for over 55 years and highly recommend
