Sonar Performance
The included GT52HW-TM transducer combines Garmin's High Wide CHIRP sonar with ClearVü and SideVü scanning technologies to provide a comprehensive view of underwater environments. Traditional CHIRP sonar delivers crisp fish arches and strong target separation, while ClearVü reveals detailed images directly beneath the boat. SideVü scanning expands your search area by displaying structure, cover, and fish activity to both sides of the vessel.
Garmin's Vivid color palettes help anglers distinguish fish from structure and bottom composition more easily, reducing screen interpretation time and allowing faster decision-making when searching for active fish.
Mapping & GPS Features
The integrated GPS system allows anglers to mark waypoints, navigate back to productive fishing spots, create routes, and monitor boat speed. Quickdraw Contours mapping software lets users create custom HD maps with 1-foot contour intervals, helping reveal underwater humps, channels, breaklines, and other fish-holding structure.
With support for storing thousands of waypoints and extensive mapping data, the STRIKER Vivid 9sv becomes an increasingly valuable fishing tool every time it is used.
Construction & Ease of Use
Designed for everyday use in demanding marine environments, the STRIKER Vivid 9sv features a bright sunlight-readable display and straightforward keypad controls that remain easy to operate in rough conditions or while wearing gloves. The rugged housing and reliable Garmin electronics provide dependable performance season after season.
