STRIKER Cast GPS
Shore Fishing, Dock and Pier Fishing, Kayak and Boat Fishing, Ice Fishing, Depth Mapping, Fish Location
Overview
The Garmin STRIKER Cast GPS is a castable sonar device that turns a smartphone or tablet into a fish finder: you cast it out on the included 5 m (16 ft) tether and it streams sonar wirelessly up to 60 m (200 ft) to the free Garmin STRIKER Cast app. It scans from less than 0.6 m to 45 m (less than 2 ft to 150 ft) at 260/455 kHz and shows depth, fish, structure and water temperature on the app's sonar screen, with a traditional 2D sonar view and an ice fishing flasher mode. Built-in GPS lets you create and download Garmin Quickdraw Contours depth maps with 1 ft contours and mark waypoints directly on the map. The internal rechargeable lithium-ion battery provides about 10 hours of typical use and charges over USB in roughly 1.5 hours. The floatable unit carries an IEC 60529 IPX7 water rating and works in freshwater or saltwater, including ice fishing. It is priced at $199.99.
