| Garmin looks like they just came out with a new kind of sonar that looks like it could be very interesting for musky fishing. Specifically the Panoptix forward feature might be useful to show follows when you might not be able to see (fishing deeper, or murky, algae filled water). Not sure if it works well, but I see some interesting applications in the Musky world.

| Agree -
Looks amazing
1500 for Transducer alone? still have to buy the graph?
Hummingbird tired this approach with the 360
I don't know anyone who took the leap
Any guides sponsored by Garmin - would be see it and use it before investing
In-Fisherman is the only group I can think that is sponsored by Garmin
Maybe it will show up in some of the television shows this winter

Location: New Hope MN | I can see how this would be very effective, but who has that kind of cash on hand? Wow... |

| I agree; I would want to see it in action before spending that kind of money first but I bet it comes down in price soon. Give it 1-2 years. I really think the most revolutionary advancements in fishing recently and in the future are with sonar/GPS. It is getting ridiculously amazing with gps, sidescan, spot lock, ipilot, DIY mapping and panoptix. I love it. Just wish wish I could upgrade every year now. |
