Garmin Has Every Angler Covered With The Ultimate Ice Fishing Lineup

In some parts of the country, ice fishing is king with anglers dedicating as much time and energy into it as their open-water brethren as the ice season lasts many months. In other areas, Mother Nature has as much influence on participation as anything, with anglers counting the fishable days as opposed to weeks or months. Regardless of whether your retail outlet resides in the ice belt or somewhere on the fringe, angler enthusiasm and commitment likely vary as much as the weather. With that in mind, Garmin has an option for all level of customer interest from die-hard to weekender, and bare bones to ice castle.

Starting at the top, for the enthusiast who wants nothing but the best of the best, the LiveScope Plus LI Bundle is the ultimate portable solution on and off the ice. Featuring the ECHOMAP UHD2 93sv chartplotter with a bright, sunlight-readable 9” touchscreen display, in addition to possessing the latest live-scanning sonar technology, the LiveScope Plus system is the latest all-in-one bundle offering improved resolution, reduced noise, clearer images and better target separation so it’s easier for anglers to pinpoint and follow schools of fish below the ice. It’s also preloaded with Garmin Navionics+™ inland mapping with unparalleled coverage and detail of more than 23,000 lakes with an included one-year subscription to daily map updates, plus built-in Wi-Fi® connectivity which lets anglers wirelessly share sonar data, waypoints and routes with another ECHOMAP UHD2 unit. Plus, its lightweight lithium battery offers improved mobility and plenty of battery life to fish all day.

For anglers who seek both comfort and fishability on the ice, the all-new LiveScope Plus Ice House System includes a GPSMAP® 8610xsv chartplotter so anglers can display live sonar on a television or external display via the chartplotter’s HDMI output(HDMI cable not included.) The Ice House System bundle also includes the LiveScope Plus LVS34-IF transducer, GLS™ 10 sonar black box, a swivel pole mount and a transducer with a cable that stays flexible in the cold. Like the other LiveScope ice fishing bundles, the Ice House System is preloaded with Garmin Navionics+ mapping to give anglers exceptional inland mapping detail with a one-year subscription to daily map updates.

Winner of the ICAST 2024 New Product Showcase Ice Fishing category is the ultraportable Garmin Panoptix PS22-IF Ice Fishing Bundle, featuring an ECHOMAP UHD2 7” chartplotter. Locate schools of fish in real time with LiveVü Forward that shows live sonar up to 100’ around you and LiveVü Down that delivers live sonar images from directly below. Designed specifically for ice fishing, the PS22-IF transducer features a pole-free transducer system with a new bracket and rotator that eliminates the need for a pole mount, which can often be cumbersome for hole hopping, but maintains the ability to easily make adjustments for depth, direction and sonar mode. Additionally, the transducer features a new removable lens so anglers can easily optimize their sonar for the water below.

Last up, for those anglers who want versatility in both open water and during the ice season without breaking the bank, the STRIKER Plus 4 Ice Bundle is the perfect choice. With a bright 4.3” display and built-in GPS, the bundle also includes a dual-beam ice fishing transducer with Garmin traditional sonar for crystal-clear images and remarkable target separation. To catch more fish, you need to know where the fish are biting. Use waypoint marking for hot spots so you can easily find your way back. Nobody knows the waters you fish better than you. STRIKER Plus 4 can now store up to 2 million acres of maps with 1’ contours. Part of the appeal of this bundle is that it’s not just made for the ice; get a Garmin GT8 or GT15 transducer (each sold separately), and the STRIKER Plus 4 fishfinder works on open water. Where you take your bundle is up to you. But the rugged, portable carrying case lets you easily transport it from hole to hole and season to season.
