When the temperature drops and the water freezes over, that can only mean one thing: It’s time to break out the smaller jigs, shorter rods, lighter reels and your preferred Garmin ice fishing setup.

To help you transition from fall to wintertime fishing, we’ve laid out a few different Garmin ice fishing electronics. Whether you’re new to ice fishing or an experienced ice angler, we’ll help you find a Garmin setup that’s right for you.

For the year-round angler

STRIKER™ 4: The Garmin STRIKER 4 bundle with a dual-beam transducer is perfect for anglers who want to travel year-round with a lighter load.

This Garmin handheld uses CHIRP sonar to display fish arches with high clarity and greater target separation. Traditional sonar also shows bottom contours in shallow and deep waters with reduced signal noise at greater depths. For jigging vertically, STRIKER 4 comes with a built-in flasher so you can see water temperature and depth data. Plus, you can watch fish come into range and react to your jig lifting or dropping. With high-sensitivity GPS, you can locate your current placement and maintain your position as you move to different spots on top of the ice. When you find a spot with high fish activity, mark a waypoint for future excursions.

Garmin Portable Ice Fishing Kit: This easy-to-carry option includes your choice of transducer, all built with high-definition traditional sonar. Before heading out, pair your kit with your STRIKER fishfinder or ECHOMAP™ combo unit for crisp, clear imagery and separation of the water below the ice.

For the passionate ice angler

LiveScope™ Plus Ice Fishing System: LiveScope isn’t just for boating season. The Garmin LiveScope Plus Ice Fishing System is built for seeing the fish directly below the ice with clear, real-time imagery up to 200’ in any direction. When you add your compatible chartplotter and battery, LiveScope forward mode can help locate fish so you know where to drill your next hole. Use down mode to watch fish react to your lure when jigging. To see fish and structures in the best contrast and clarity, customize your display screen.

GPSMAP® Ice House System: Purpose-built for anglers with ice fishing shelters, the ice house system is perfect for those who want a GPSMAP chartplotter, LiveScope system and pole mount all in one purchase. You have the choice of a GPSMAP 8610xsv with a 10” display or the ECHOMAP Ultra 2 with a 16” display. Hook up your chartplotter to your TV or external display (via HDMI output) for everyone to see.

This system also includes the full LiveScope setup: a GLS™ 10 sonar black box and LVS34-IF transducer with forward and down modes. With Garmin Navionics+™ mapping and custom combos, see side-by-side visuals of more than 25,000 preloaded charts as well as live, built-in sonar on your chartplotter.
