Garmin STRIKER Plus 4 Ice Fishing Bundle, Includes Portable STRIKER Plus 4 Fishfinder and Dual Beam-IF Transducer

I Don't Understand These Things, But My husband Said It's A Good One

Awesome fish finder for ice fishing. Also got the set up for my boat.

Great product easy to use. I replaced the stock battery with a lithium for longer battery life.

It’s awesome! Works great and is fun to use

I purchased one of these. Everything went smooth and I got it pretty fast. However, upon opening the package I realized the box had been opened. Mine didn't come with the bar that's connects on the sides and goes over the top that helps to create bag structure...

I've used Vexilar FL8, Marcum Lx3, Lowrance X67c, and Humminbird Helix 5.This is better than all of them, with the old Lowrance being the closest. I think if I wanted a unit for both open water and ice I'd look both at this and the Humminbird Helix line. For ice, this is better due to the vertical screen layout. It's hard to make use of the horizontal real estate on the Helix machines and I always found myself wanting more vertical room. For open water fishing it's the opposite - the more horizontal screen would be more useful.As to the fish finding ability, target separation is good, screen is bright enough for my purposes. Battery life is good for a graph, though still not as good as a simple flasher. There's so many more options and customization here vs. a flasher.I'd say for someone who's buying a first ice fishing fish finder, if you want something easy to learn that just works go with a flasher like Vexilar fl8, Marcum lx3 or Humminbird Ice 35. For those who like to dig into menus and customize and set up something exactly how you want it, this unit is tough to beat. For someone who wants a year-round unit, it's either this or the Helix line. The choice probably comes down to what kind of fishing you do more and whether the vertical or horizontal screen suits your needs better. The battery life on this much better than my Helix 5.Edit: the price on this went up since my review. At current price ($300ish) you'd be better to get the Striker 4 portable kit (which comes with the open water style transducer) and buy the ice transducer separate for $80. You'd get both transducers, and still be below the current price of the ice fishing bundle.

Enjoy this purchase. Was out ice fishing on Saginaw Bay yesterday and was quite pleased with the night mode.

I looked into a bunch of different fish finders when I was in the market to buy one for ice fishing. I'm not guaranteed to get ice every year because of where I live so I didn't want to spend $600 on a fish finder that I might not get to use more than a few times each year. When I saw this one I watched some ice fishing veterans operate it and it had many of the features of the really expensive ones. It has nothing but positive reviews and some of the anglers were shocked at how it had so many features for such a low price.After the first use I was so impressed that I convinced two of my friends to buy this just by showing it to them for about 5 minutes. The dual beam feature is fantastic and the flasher is just so cool to watch when fish chase your lure. This is a total game-changer and gives you that advantage that you otherwise wouldn't have. Less searching=more fish. I highly recommend this for any ice fisherman.
