Thank you very much

Plus is the best overall IMO....perfect for just about everything the average weekend angler needs

I love my basic Striker 4, but I am leaning hard at getting a Striker 4 Plus....might go CV, but we will see. As the channel has more success, it will give me the chance to do so.

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching

Glad it was helpful!

Awesome...glad this helped out....they really are great fish finders for the price...can't go wrong

The CV is a great feature once you learn how to use it...just like our fish finders...they are only as good as our knowledge is on how to work them. Glad you enjoyed the video and good luck out on the water

Glad I could help! Thanks

Awesome, thank you!

I know im asking the wrong place but does any of you know of a tool to log back into an instagram account? I stupidly forgot my account password. I love any assistance you can give me.

@Gianni Thiago Instablaster ;)

@Frederick Jamal i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and im trying it out now. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

@Frederick Jamal It worked and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy:D Thanks so much, you really help me out !

You're very welcome! Thank you :)

I love it as well....hard to beat fo rthe price

Great to hear!

Glad you liked it!

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you

Awesome glad to hear that

It always makes me happy to hear these have helped

It is perfect for that....the Plus is a great buy

Plus 4v is awesome! Totally worth the money

They are pretty darn awesome for the money

@@1Cast1Fish best bang for your buck! Don't think there any fish finder as accurate and features such as the plus 4cv on the market

@@shorelinefishingmafia6133 Can't agree more

Glad you enjoyed it

For LOW and our area waters the Striker 4 Plus would be perfect....or go CV if you got the extra coin.

I find when the price difference is this small just go with the best model they got. Then you’ll never miss a feature and always be happy with your purchase.

Glad you are enjoying and finding everything useful. I will be going over tracks and routes in coming classes. Be sure to check out my latest classes #1-4

Glad you liked it...thank you

Very welcome...thank you for watching

Glad it was helpful! Thank you

I agree, I need to do some stuff with the portable or at least go over the diffrences

No problem...any questions and I will do my best to help....glad you enjoy

Thanks for liking

You are welcome and good luck on the water

Thanks! 😃

Glad it was helpful! Thanks

Sounds like time for a upgrade to color :) How's your fishing been lately?

@@1Cast1Fish it's been ok , cold.front has messed up the big girls coming shallow for now . Yeah I haven't used mine for my kayak in over two years since I never have used my kayak on a video once lol

Glad you think so! Thank you

Glad you liked it!

@@1Cast1Fish Thanks mate. Was enough to convince me to buy the Strike plus 4 about an hour after watching. Have it in my hands now. Can wait to get out on the water and test it out.

It definitely will get the job done, and hard to beat at the price...good luck. I bet some big ones lurk in those ponds like that

@@1Cast1Fish Indeed, I'm A Retired Conservation Officer , Was Acting Area Manager On the Pascagoula River WMA For About A Year , But I had Worked There On The Area For About 6 years As Assistant , Then Moved to full time Law Enforcement , I helped Stock These Lakes With All Different species of Fish Many Many Many Times Over As The States Hatcheries Had Fingerlings Available , These Oxbow Lakes Have For the most Part Never been used With Catfish The Target Species WITH The Exception Of The Flood Times Of The Year , I Know This Because I Spent Many Many Hours Working On This Area , Rarely Did I ever find someone targeting Catfish , lotsa Bass Fishing, Or Panfish Fishermen But Catfishing was as a rule always on the main live river Channel , IF I'm Right ,And I Hope I Am, These Oxbows Are A Treasure Trove , I'll Find Out Soon The Depths , Composition, Contour ,And Structure , I'm guessing some have natural Seams of Flowing Water like a small Creek bed maybe in the bottom , this will be an adventure Beyond Doubt And The Garmin Now Has A Mapping Setting As I am positive No In-depth mapping out of these Oxbows Exist ,they're simply indicated on a small map and not all are included In those , let's hope I'm Right, Thanks Any Additional information on The Garmin And Seeing Bottom Structure, Catfish , Determining A Silited Muddy Bottom ,Or A Sandy Or Harder Bottom ,Etc ,, Would be great , I Know Some But By No Means Am I A Pro With Sonars , Thanks Again I've Watched The Entire Set Of These Tutorial On the Garmin , Good Job On These Videos

Sounds like you got a plan... the Garmin contour mapping is pretty good for those type of areas that have no existing maps and it will do it with 1ft contour changes. Hope you checked out some of the latest classes I have been doing as they really dive into the settings on the Striker series.

It would be a great addition...I would definitely get the Plus or Plus CV given the waters I see you fish.

Thanks again!

Thank you very much

Thank you and hope you enjoy your new fish finder

1Cast 1Fish your welcome and I hope so!

Mistake

@@bp30656I’m loving it

Thank you very much

Wish I could help more, but I am not familiar with the Echo Series fish finders....here is what I do know 1. Are they as waterproof as the Striker series? Yes, they have the same IPX-7 rating 2. Are the charts preloaded in the units adequate or are there better charts for the California coast and inland lakes? Honestly it would be hard for me to say since I have never used those charts and have never fished CA...I would hate to steer you the wrong direction. 3. Could this work on a kayak? I don't see why not, many people use higher end units on their kayaks all the time...it will have more features than the Strikers.

This is it....go Plus or Plus CV and never look back.

Best of luck

Glad to hear it!

That is one major change...the vivid line looks to replace the plus and cv

@@1Cast1Fish Thanks, I suspected so. Yet another brief question if you don't mind. I guess you have been asked it more than once but I didn't manage to find it in comments. Given that Garmin is replacing their Striker Plus line by the Vivid, there are very interesting offers of Plus 5cv that are starting to pop up. I am in the position to buy a sonar for my sea kayak and the natural doubt is, of course, whether to go for a Plus 5cv or a Vivid 4cv. Money wise it is very similar, so it is a larger screen vs a newer but seemingly the same model... I'd really appreciate some words of wisdom on this matter :)

@@p33ii if you have plenty of money or like the latest and greatest go vivid. Other than that if you get a great deal the plus and plus cv are awesome

Glad you enjoyed it

It is a lot of fish finder for the price...and it has been very reliable for me as well

👍

Glad you enjoyed it, thank you

That mapping is by far the coolest feature on them...I would have bought the Plus model if I had it to do over again.

Thank you!

You are very welcome

Thank you too!

Yeah some of the really advanced sonars are $3,000 or more....crazy how much technology they put into these things. Even funnier though is that people pay thousands for a advanced sonar and never learn how to use it to the fullest.

Glad it was helpful! Thanks

Glad you liked it!

You're welcome! Thank you

Glad it helped

@@1Cast1Fish I legit just picked up the 4CV tonight about 5 mins ago thanks to this video. Will hopefully get to use it a few times before the snow hits🙏

Awesome...good luck

@@1Cast1Fish thank you, love the channel 🙏

Thank you very much

Thank you

Glad I could help!

Awesome to hear, glad it helps ... thank you

Glad to hear it! Thanks

Glad you liked it...Thank you

I do not a video comparing the 4 vs the 5, but I can tell you they are the same pretty much except the 5 has a slightly larger screen.

The Clearvu is a great feature once you get it figured out and learn to really use it to the max along with your 2D sonar....good luck

You're welcome!

Glad it was helpful!

Never to late to start and learn...just by learning how to use a fish finder to its fullest puts you way ahead of a lot of others on the water.

Thank you, glad you enjoyed

Glad you found it useful...thank you

Dude for real I’ve been looking for a video like this! No one is doing this

Glad to hear that...Thanks

Thank you and thanks for watching

Glad you enjoyed it

Normally the side with the cord coming from it is the front (part mounted to the boat rear)

@@1Cast1Fish The cord is located in the middle...

Thank you

Thank you so much 😀

Thank you

Should work fine ...its great for kayaking

You are welcome

No they do not the CV models have a bigger transducer that gives you the down imaging capability. The Plus shares the same transducer as the standard base model Striker

Thanks 👍

@@1Cast1Fish ur welcome👍😊

So one option is to buy the compatible Ice Transducer for the Vivid 4 Cv or which ever fishfinder, same functionality in an ice package.

I got 30+ non stop hours on my 10 Ah and Striker 4....it will last a long time on what ever fish finder you choose.

Should work fine thru hull...just make sure the mounting for the transducer is solid and no air gaps.....as far as mounts the one I use is linked in the description …that is the only one I have tried.

Correct, everything is internal to the fishfinder

The CV is a great choice if your really picking apart structure or want a better graphic image of what's under the kayak....or if you got the extra cash and want the most features. In most instances the Plus model is the best model for the majority of average anglers.

Nope no issues if installed correctly

No they do not...the units with CV have a special transducer.

Yes it will work...however I would definitely recommend the 4 Plus for this type of thing. Bigger screen, and the contour mapping may be useful. Also I never recommend going out if conditions are that bad or expected to be bad.

Honestly if I was targeting those types of fish and conditions a larger screen would be better. once you get over about 100ft or so...you will wish you had a bigger screen normally...just makes the smaller sized targets easier to see.

Resolution is pretty good considering screen size and price. No the wiring for the low end transducer will not work with the CV, they are 2 different transducers.

Most welcome

Don't tell anyone, but I think there may be a new CV in my near future :)

The Striker 4 series does not offer Side Vu

Yep that is the GPS speed of the boat. I see they pointed you in the right direction, which is awesome....any questions just le me know

I would go with the Striker Plus model, this will give you the added contour feature which will be very helpful in the long run. Don't get caught up on the pixels, the screens are plenty clear. Also if you want a bigger screen, look at the 5 and 7 series fish finders, a bit more money, but a much bigger screen, which may be useful on a 27' boat.

@@1Cast1FishThank you, Oh Great One. Also, of the 5 and 7 series, do you have any solid recommendations?

I would still stick with the Plus models since the contour mapping is really nice....especially on a bigger boat with a deeper draft.

Glad you enjoyed

No, the 4 series does not...you need a model that had the Side Vu

Thank you

It will keep them and add to them each trip

I do for in hull mounting, but their are many mounting options.

Sorry you can not
