Does anyone use the Garmin striker 4 ice fishing?
I have been using the Striker 4 portable for 4 months now and I am impressed with its capabilities, especially for the price. Both open water river fishing and on the ice, it has performed quite well. The transducer works well on the ice and buying Garmin's "ice" transducer, would be a waste. Battery life seems good, as I have yet to run it down to inoperable. Should last 2 or 3 8 hour days, no problem. There isn't much info on the Internet for these units, but I have had great luck with Garmin, so I pulled the trigger. Glad I did. Also, this unit has been used at -6 degrees with no problems with digital screen. I have used, both , Marcums and vexs', which are great machines, but I honestly can't say they were any better. Plus you get sonar and gps and the detail is good. I hope this helps those who can't find much feedback on the Striker 4.
