A recently released Garmin line are the strikers, this model is a 5 inch, the vivid strikers in addition to being chirp sounders have also incorporated a gps but not cartographic and also have the clearvu function.

Strikers are first and foremost chirp tools, what does chirp mean?

The CHIRP technology performs simultaneous scans of high and low frequencies which, depending on the transducer connected, can go from 28 kHz up to a maximum of 210 kHz with the relative change of the reading cone, so it means that it emits more frequencies simultaneously and more frequencies rise to have a sharper and more detailed detail, with this Garmin ushered in a new era in professional fishing, ensuring better target separation and excellent resolution even at high depths.

As for the echo sounder part, we have the traditional one which would be the classic view of the seabed, then we will have the ClearVu function which allows us to obtain extremely detailed and high resolution images, almost photographic of everything that is below and on the sides of the boat. .

As for the gps part, you have a non-cartographic gps but as long as you can save points, create routes, braids, etc.

The striker Plus compared to the striker has some more features that can be updated via wifi and personal bathymetry can be created .

In the package you will find a 500W probe that is the GT20-TM fast response built-in temperature sensor has a power of 500w depth of about 1,900 feet in traditional with an operating frequency of 77 / 200khz and 455 in Clearvu and an angle of 0 to 70 traverse .
