Just tried out Garmin Striker 4.Worked awesome with skim transducer.All I did was leave off the suction cup house and bracket. Used plain skim transducer by itself....I folded the wire forward of the bolt ....installed the bolt.....and put 2 tyraps on either side of the wire to keep it centered and ballanced.Instead of using factory blue foam I used 12 inches of pipe insulation foam.....installed over wire and taped up ends snug so it would hold in place.The only time I couldn't see my jig I simply lowered transducer deeper.....only happened 1x in 8 hours fishing I used and prefered Split screen with flasher on right side.I was able to mark fish 4-6 inches off bottom.We caught close to 20 Walleye....2 Lakers.....and I marked a 20 lb like 6 feet off bottom in 24 FOW...raised jig up and pow he hammered it.During landing it he swam and hooked another line pulling that rod down the hole!....first came pike out of hole.....then other line....was able to retrieve the rod....lol!I was amazed at how well it worked......coming from Showdown Troller 2.0.Very Happy....
