The Garmin Striker Cast with built-in positioning transforms any smartphone or tablet into a capable fishfinder without permanent boat installations. This 2.6 oz castable sonar device pairs with the free Striker Cast app on Apple and Android devices, streaming real-time underwater data within a 200-foot castable range. Anglers fishing from kayaks, docks, or shore gain access to the same sonar intelligence previously reserved for console-mounted units. Built for freshwater, saltwater, and ice fishing applications, this compact unit delivers versatility across environments where traditional transducer setups prove impractical or impossible.
Operating at 260/455 kHz frequencies, the Striker Cast scans depths from 2 feet down to approximately 150 feet, displaying traditional 2-D sonar views or ice fishing flasher modes depending on your preference. The built-in positioning system enables Quickdraw contour mapping, allowing you to create custom charts with 1-foot contour resolution and store up to 5,000 waypoints for future reference. A rechargeable lithium-ion battery provides roughly 10 hours of typical use on a single 1.5-hour charge. The housing measures 3 inches by 2.97 inches by 2.28 inches and carries IPX7 water resistance certification, meaning full submersion protection to 1 meter for 30 minutes. We recommend using 20-lb test line or higher when casting to prevent break-offs during retrieval. Check our camping gear for additional outdoor equipment.
Shore anglers scouting unfamiliar lakes, kayak fishermen mapping structure, and ice anglers drilling new holes all benefit from portable sonar that travels in a tackle box. The Quickdraw mapping feature proves particularly valuable when fishing waters without detailed commercial charts, letting you build proprietary contour maps of productive spots. Pair this device with quality survival and outdoor gear for extended backcountry fishing trips. We stock Garmin marine electronics alongside a full selection of optics for hunters and anglers who demand reliable field technology.
The device maintains wireless connectivity with your smartphone or tablet up to 200 feet from shore or your position. Sonar readings reach depths from approximately 2 feet down to 150 feet (0.6m to 45m), covering most freshwater and coastal applications.
Yes, the unit includes a dedicated ice fishing flasher mode in addition to traditional 2-D sonar views. It functions in freshwater, saltwater, and through ice holes, making it a three-season tool for anglers who fish multiple environments.
The built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery delivers approximately 10 hours of typical use per charge. A full recharge takes roughly 1.5 hours. No external battery packs or disposable cells are required.
Garmin recommends using 20-lb test monofilament or braided line or higher. Lighter lines risk breaking during casting or retrieval, potentially losing the device in deep water.
Yes, the built-in positioning enables Quickdraw contour mapping with 1-foot resolution. You can store up to 5,000 waypoints, building detailed charts of productive structure, drop-offs, and holding areas on waters without commercial mapping coverage.
