Ok if you have no budget and wanted 1 unit what would it be?

Garmin Panoptix Livescope

Yep! Though the fish show up bigger on the screen with the ps22 unit so it’s easier to see the fish.  the livescope shows a much clearer picture, but it’s also more to scale so the fish show up smaller and don’t jump out visually.

Panoptix sounds like the choice

I don’t have one but after a lot of research I would go with Panoptix. I have been debating on getting one but I have had my eye on a new Browning Hells Canyon Speed. Only if money grew on trees.

If your talking about the rifle that’s a tough decision lol. But that said, I was considering selling my 50bmg rifle to buy the panoptix ice package, but ended up putting it on a card I said I’d stop using...

[Scooby31]

Yep the rifle in 7mm mag. Have been using the card way to much lately Xmas time

I got the garmin finder, just need the panoptix now.

Alot of money for sonar. Just need to have enough scenarios come up where I would of been better off with panoptix so I can justify the cost in my own head.

That's half a new hobie for me next season

I ended up ordering the Panoptix. Should be here tomorrow!

Ever fish with another person or use more than one line?  This weekend we had 6 lines on the screen at once and could watch the fish come in and decide which bait they wanted to bite. Pretty crazy

Have you priced it yet? I want, badly, but it ain't cheap!

I bought it. Was a lot of money but at least I can use it in my boat also. It just showed up yesterday.

I love it from my boat. So far I’ve only used it once on the ice, and it’s awesome. For bottom hugging fish, same as with watching the bottom with a flasher, watch for the bottom to wiggle or shift a bit. Play with the gain settings, I find that even on auto low, even soft bottom will read solid red, and you won’t be able to see anything moving.  To help with lag between moving jig and seeing it move on screen, it’s been suggested to turn the trail feature off, and turn the 2D sonar to the fastest setting.
