Any suggestions on how big of a milliamp battery for ice fishing?

For the price of the plus 4, you should opt to get the 5.

In general, the TI units are faster in response to inputs. This is seen when quickly switching between sonar, downscan, chart, and split screens th-cam.com/users/postUgkxeAxH15LxhjGlg5-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.

Also an adjustable depth line on the plus

The striker 4 plus has 4 frequencies l vs 3 frequencies on the old one. The plus is waterproof that's right waterproof. The striker 4 makes no such claims. The mapping capabilities on the plus with 2.5 million acres of mapping space and the waterproofing makes it a no brainer.

Either the striker 4 does not have A scope or I can't find it on mine. Any help?

What means 57.60 O F

The cheaper one looks was better in the video, but maybe that’s just in video. Is the resolution higher on the smaller screen? Seems like it

You have a sell of that.. I want to buy

Quick Draw Mapping is a Big BIG Difference.

I'm pretty sure what you're seeing is just a different color palette. I thought that it looks strange when I first turned mine on as well but if you go into the color schemes you can change it so that it looks the same as the original

Do they both have speed, water temp, on the screen??

How do I hook my striker 4 up at home to test like you did in your video?

I’m curious if anyone has used a 12v or 18v cordless tool battery to power their Striker? I know the manual says “12-20v”. But I’d much rather use a tool battery I already own then buy another one. And I’d like to use the 18v because I have a 12ah M18 battery that should power it for days. That I also have a rapid charger for.

*I used it, I was amazed, **enjoyable.fishing** recommend The color screen really lights up. For such a small unit it is very easy to read.*

Same specs for ice fishing kits?

This is an awesome idea! I was gonna make something very similar. Would work great! Always got 100 things to charge, haha

Does anyone know how the quickdraw map works with changing water levels?

great idea with the broom holder. have been debating how to go about it.

great vid thanks!

Genius idea with the pipe and broom holder . I’ve been trying to figure out the transducer. ready to buy a ice transducer

Thank you - good video

I like the broom holder idea. Good Job!

I think the plus has Dual beam where the 4 is single. Obviously the height is different are the screens the same width?

How do you keep the snow off of the battery when your fishing? It looks like you have to leave the top open all the time.

That broom holder is awesome. Great idea.

I have bought a 2nd hand boat with this unit. Any user videos recommended would be appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks to you, I went ahead and made a portable set up. Used the Command Broom holder, upgraded to a .50 cal ammo box, pvc I had, 60 bucks for a Striker 4, w/battery, off of CL, and a kayak paddle taco holder, I had, mounted to the top. I notched the box so the ducer wire won't get pinched and the box lid will close. Total cost, 80 bucks! Thanks for the tips and the video!

Great Video. Thank You. Hope this little chart I made helps a bit : Video Graphics Array (org by IBM) _VGA=640x480 (IBM org) WVGA=800×480(wide) HVGA=320×480(half org) QVGA=320×240(qtr org)

Great video, Does the mapping function work in the background or do you have to click into it.

Everytime garmin adds something they take something away that way the only way you can actually get everything is to buy the ones well over $1000.00.

Great video! What's the minimum depth the 4 will do? I plan to use this on the Delaware river where depth can get very shallow. Will this unit tell me live how shallow I am and actuate while going 30-40mph?

Is the depth finder good on this? I'm new to boating and I been hitting sand dunes on the marsh a couple of times and don't want that to happen again

The better resolution on the striker 4 is noticeable

The plus have bigger screen. So ofc the resolution looks different. And it's not only a cost thing. It's battery life too.

I just upgraded to the plus had the a fairy new striker 4 but i got a blob in the screen that would stay there for like 15mins and I l had a drain on the battery when I shut it down so it was still under warranty and I sent it back. I do have a question I bought this for mapping I live on a small lake and this is mounted on my paddle boat I really would like to map the lake for the deeper levels can you map and still use it in the standard mode at the same time if anyone knows?

There is also a difference in the frequencies that the transducer runs. The striker 4 plus I got runs 55k, 77k, 83k, and 200k

The difference I noticed on them is the older version has qute a bit larger numbers for the depth reading, is that the way it is or can you make them larger on the 4 plus version. Thanks for a great video

As long as it shows fish I am good. If I want good resolution, I got my iPhone XS Max with microscopic text lol

Good video. Deciding on which one for my little inflatable boat. I’ve never had a fish finder. Think I’ll get the regular striker 4. I don’t need to map the bottom of lakes.

Has anybody figured out how to dial this in while fishing in a weedy area?

The old one is better Saw it all just fine thanks.

the pvc extension is perfect. going to home depot tomorrow

Which model is that that transducer looks to be for the " NEWER" Striker Vivid CV model.

Thanks for the review, I’m getting the Garmin 4 fish finder lol

Thanks for a great video. Now with the newer Garmin Striker Plus 4cv Fishfinder and the Garmin STRIKER Vivid 4 Fishfinder did they fix the resolution? Thanks

Dude this is genius! Heading to the store now to get a broom holder. I’ve been looking at so many ideas with the float and I hate the idea of getting a Lunker stuck in the cord.

what battery you bought is it rechargeable

There should be more of these side by side comparison videos. Thanks for the upload. Quick draw was important for me living in Michigan's UP where there are many lakes that haven't been charted. I got tired of trying to guess where to fish using hand-drawn DNR depth maps from the 1950s.
