GarminSTRIKER™ Plus 5 Ice Fishing Bundle With GT8HW-IF Transducer

I’ve had it out once so far this season. Marked fish and depths perfectly. Setting it up was fast and easy. I love the battery charger that comes with it. I look forward to this season on the ice.

Item works very well as I have purchased a separate transducer mounted in my kayak for summer fishing and mapping out lakes/rivers. Works great for ice fishing as well using the GPS portion a lakes I have mapped out from the summer to find the lake structure to use the flasher for gigging. I would say the only down fall is that you can't preload lake maps in so you have to spend the time to map out the lakes as you go.

Excellent product. This particular model is great because all I need to do is get a different transducer for my kayak. I've only been ice fishing so far, but the flasher is awesome. I'm excited for spring and summer. One con is the fact when I power down the device my settings for the flasher didn't save, I had to redo them each time. No big deal.

Everything you want for ice fishing. I like the bottom lock feature to see my small jig in 55’ of water. Lock it in to only see the bottom 8’ and get the perch!

Great all-in-one package. Easy to assemble (check out YouTube for some step by step video assembly tips). I purchased some dual blade quick disconnects so I could keep the graph and the charger cables plugged into the battery at the same time. Would highly recommend doing this to save plugging and unplugging from the battery terminals.

As happy as I was to receive the unit I recently found out it has been discontinued and decided to express my concerns with the seller since I was in my return window. The response I got was a rude email that did nothing to reassure me of the quality of product or address my initial concern about returning the item due to it being discontinued instead I was insulated about my lack of knowledge of this product(first time buyer) and still never got an answer about me being able to return the product. I did purchase the Assurion protection through Amazon so hopefully if anything does happen I’ll be covered. As far the sonar goes I haven’t been able to use it yet and was hoping to do so this weekend. As far as the seller goes I’d recommend checking local first and having someone who won’t be rude to you Incase you have questions. Side note I know this may sound like I’m bi#%hing but if you spend $400.00 on something you have the right to be worried. Hope this helps someone.

The flasher setting tracked very small pieces of worm chum, all the way to the shallow bottom. Got to watch some apparent baitfish attack the cloud as it descended... Nice. All the time showing my jig action. All settings captured the movement of my jig; seems to be both very sensitive and quick with a sonar return. Sad to say, I haven't set up on much fish with this tool yet. But it seems very sensitive, catching accurate data. I like the bright screen for quick viewing in the bright daylight. I bought it for the run and gun style of ice fishing. Lake trout specifically. And I plan on buying the warm weather transducer and hopefully be able to map bottom contour via canoe, and keep it on the unit for ice fishing later on. I am hoping this will be a good start to a detailed database of bottom contours and hot spots. Just haven't put the time in to make it 5 stars yet, but the compactness, battery length, and design definitely deserves 4+

Awesome product! Works exactly as indicated. My husband couldn’t be happier with this fish finder. Used many times with no issues easy to learn all the functions
