Castable Sonars have become pretty big in the past few years. Some are good, some are not. Today we are testing yet ANOTHER castable sonar to see if they are even worth it. This time we have the Garmin Striker Cast, castable sonar. This model runs $179 and features a fast bluetooth connection, integrated app and even a casting line. But did it help us FIND ANY FISH? I did a little bank fishing with my BFS Ultra Light gear to find out!

Jeff, from what I've been reading and watching other videos, there is a setting within the app that allows you to change it from being the traditional sonar to it actually saying that there is a fish on the screen.

@maxbender8653 2 года назад

I own one of these and you can see every single fish clearly to the bottom. But you shouldn't turn off the automatic gain for that. And that was the first thing you did.

@BocaVideoDotCom 11 месяцев назад

If you were a diver and you wanted to capture more data about your dive site would this make sense to attach to yourself? If you are more than 200 feet away does it do anything?

@sadashiva1 10 месяцев назад

In general, the TI units are faster in response to inputs. This is seen when quickly switching between sonar, downscan, chart, and split screens ru-vid.comUgkxeAxH15LxhjGlg5-CRYqjTGTEH0tbY4vk recommend The Hook units will show some lag on button pushes and screen switching. The big ticket item though is maps. If you install a mapping card such as Navionics or the free C-Map Genesis which has a lot of map detail, then moving around the map with the cursor or when running down the lake can lag significantly on the Hook units, but is seamless with the TI units.

@tukkeuma8958 2 года назад

You can see fish with this device but you had your settings messed up. Set gain and depth scale to automatic at first. Actually you can even see your lure if you reel it under the scope.

@jejoko Год назад

This is good not necessarily for finding fish but for finding bottom structure and to know how deep to set your bobber lead for that area.

@brandoknorr 2 года назад

Very helpful. I'm a bank fisherman trying to step up my game this spring at some of my local lakes. Whenever my ice melts of course

@michaelrosen8933 2 года назад

Try leaving the gain on Auto first, if that doesn't produce a good image, then try manually adjusting the gain. It can be tricky in wavy water because all that turbulence echos. That is when you want to turn down the gain.

You can change the fish icon to show a actual fish image with depth above icon.

@ronwelkert2104 2 года назад

Is this video about you fishing or the sonar? Would be nice if you left the sonar out there somewhere in the area of where you were fishing. Just to see if it was picking up fish even if you were missing them in that area.

@poondabber 2 года назад

Not sure if u have videos on this but if u know anything about the difference of the deeper chirp +2 and the deeper pro +2 it would be nice to know what they're capable and not capable of

@user-tk9rj3wz2n 2 месяца назад

When you go to the gain you see more settings and that is where you find the fish symbols and background. It is awesome

@williamtomlin192 2 года назад

@lt.pickles6383 2 года назад

Not sure I am down with the castable sonar. I barely get any use out of the one on my kayak. It is useful for depth but it has never helped me catch anything

@aaanglers 2 года назад

Agreed

@SeattleRingHunter Год назад

Maybe the fish were out fishing that day 🤣

@fbiburneraccount 2 года назад

I am in the market for my first Sonar. I am looking to use it mostly for finding cover and structure in 10' to 25' fishing from a kayak. I am looking at the garmin striker 4. Do you think this will be comparable If I have it mounted to the side of the yak? I like the convenience of the all in one vs having to have a battery and separate sonar.

@aaanglers 2 года назад

It’s a good option, but it’s not really built to compete with a full sonar rig

@frogmanpipes9561 2 года назад

Spend the extra money and get the deeper sonar. Pro+

@6030jdr Год назад

@@frogmanpipes9561 that's well into the price point for a very good real setup. These price points are ridiculous

@frogmanpipes9561 Год назад

@@6030jdr I'm not sure what your point is. you're trying to compare it to a boat mount set up. You can't. This is made really for people that fish the bank. Before I got a boat. I found one on marketplace for $100.

@6030jdr Год назад

@Frogmanpipes a lot of people are using them for kayaking. There are garmin and Lawrance for that price that are real setups with mounts, 5_7" screens, marine batteries that actually work. Companies run up prices is my point.

Deeper sonar

@jasomkovac9115 2 года назад

Would have been nice if you cast the sonar where you were catching to set up the garman. Other ppl said you missed a bunch of settings. So all in all,not a good video.

@SeattleRingHunter Год назад

6:13 top left of the app why doesn’t this small sonar report the depth in shallow water that’s not good for my application! Cheers, #SeattleRingHunter

@fragmatic1964 Год назад

Something just occurred to me. I've been fishing for over 50 years and I've never seen a dead bass floating in the water that hadn't been mauled by a predator. If it had been me I think I'd have kept the fish and taken it to Fish & Game. It's probably nothing, but it would be nice to know if it was some kind of parasite or if there might be something else in the water that's not good for the fish.

@aaanglers Год назад

Good point, will do next time

@Bankfishindude Год назад

It probably got gut hooked and the person didn’t know how to deal with it. Unfortunately when I started bass fishing this happened to me and I still think about that fish😢

Boy, if I was Garmin I'd be a bit peeved. You just busted it open turned off the settings, threw it out then said, this sucks! Ouch dude. I got one and it is fantastic. Shows structure, depth, temp, real fish approx size. Can draw contour lines and map your pond or spot. Well worth the money. I even use a short zebco dock demon to cast. Great in a kayak.

@aaanglers 6 месяцев назад

What did I turn off? I got it out, did the set up process they outlined and used it. That’s what the average user would do. I like garmin and use many of their products. The deeper sonar is miles ahead of this

@jaxonboys3366 6 месяцев назад

@@aaanglersjust the auto gain. Works best to get started with. I did the same thing, then turned it back on. But I worked with it for about 5 min and I was getting fish everywhere they were supposed to be. I trust ya about the other one, this is the only one I've bought and used. Does the job for me.
