Review on 🐠 Garmin 010-01550-00 Striker 4 GPS Fishfinder: Chirp Transducer and 3.5" Display by Timothy Richmond

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Perfect for a kayak

Connected with the Nocqua Pro Power Kit and installed on my 12ft Jackson Cuda. This is my first sonar so I don't have a lot to compare it to but so far I like it. It's easy to see and easy to navigate. The fact that a $100 fish finder has temp, speed, depth and GPS is incredible. It's perfect for a kayak. The only thing I complain about is that my device doesn't perform well in shallow water with soft bottom or mossy conditions. At depths less than 6-7 feet, particularly in muddy conditions, the Striker 4 loses depth reading. All other functions work fine, but the depth simply either shows as a flat line or flashes with the last measured depth. Basically it's a moot point because I don't need sonar to tell me I'm in shallow water. I want the depth to show me structures, cliffs, ridges, etc. Beyond 6-7 feet it's absolutely accurate.

Pros
  • Ideal for a small house
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
