@@piecartbox you would be wise to buy the ice ducer for around 100 cad idk how much usd. The ducer will work but having to get it to sit properly while in the water will be challenging the ice kit or ice ducer will make your life alot easier if your able to afford it. Compared to a Marcum or vexilar your saving big money still and they work just as well if not better.
Thanks I love them both so I am going to use the small one for ice fishing and the vivid for summer time because of its high definition. Thanks for watching.
Terrific helpful video! Exactly the choice I was wondering about, and very clear information and demonstration of features and differences. I agree that Striker 4cv is a slam-dunk choice over the basic Striker 4. Now I'll have to check out your airgun content too!
Hi Aaron. I like that you are putting fishing content out as well. It’s good to diversify when there’s no shooting to be had. Hope the bar in works well for you. Next video will be you in the hide chair using it hopefully. Stay safe. And warm. Roger henderson.
I have a Garmin handheld gps for mountaineering and hunting. I really like it. I have rechargable batteries for it. So I can charge the unit with my biolight camping stove. I'm sold on the Garmin vivid fish finder. I'm currently motorizing my top water sportsman 106 kayak by OldTown. With a 55lb thrust newport vessels trolling motor. So I will have a batterie on board to power a fish finder, transducer, and nav lights. This Garmin vivid 4 is the perfect size for a kayak mount. Thank you for the video side by side comparison. I think the extra 70 or so bucks is worth having the better clarity of the larger tranducer and screen. Side note, some people say that the screen is not a touch screen, and that that's a bad thing. Or that this unit is "cheap". I say they don't know what they are talking about. Wet fingers and touch screens don't work well together. Rain, sea spray, none of that is good for touch screen operation.
I really want one of those fishing electric kayaks but they are do expensive but I would be able t fish anwhere with it. So I am still considering it. As for those who say too cheap or not a touch screen. Why. If they don't like it they should just concentrate on what they want rather commenting on what others like. Thanks for sharing.
@@aaroncantrell8819 my top water 106 is a relatively short kayak. Its a one man portable kayak. Good solid build. Didn't come with anything fancy. Ive slowly investing time and money aftermarket to make it the way I want it. The factory motorized kayaks are $1800.00+ at the very mininum new. My build will end up at &1650.00 and custom for me. If your willing to put the sweat into it. You can do the same. The garmin fish finder is not added into that final cost. That added cost will bring the final cost up, what the topwater motorized kayaks cost with out any added electronics, gear tracks, or accessories like rode holders, cleats, etc etc. So, all said and done. I have a fully motorized and electrified yak that still has an open un obstructed bow.
@@stevenhunter6552 Given all the time and expense to build with aftermarket parts would you recommend just purchasing a $2,000 kayak for an old dude like me. I HAVE SPENT THAT MUCH ON A SINGLE PCP. Also, What brand would you recommend for a first timer like me. Thanks.
@@aaroncantrell8819 on a side note, my buddy just bought a B&T APC9 K PRO. Freaking 3000 bucks plus 650 for optic. An Olight red dot. Don't remeber the model. We are planing to go shoot it in a couple weeks. Im not going to spend that much on a PCC. Or any rifle for that matter. Lol how ever I do want a Kel-Tec sub 2k gen 2 9mm. Much more affordable for me. Plus its weight and ability to fold up nicely into hikking pack is almost unbeatable. I just wish the sub gen 2 sub 2k was chambered in 10mm. That would make it a great camp carbine.
@@stevenhunter6552 $3,650 for a PCP and optic. I have to agree with you when you can get any eight of the following guns for that amount: Artemis P15, P35, Karl Puncher Breaker, Gamo Urban & Coyote, Gauntlet, Xisico Sentry, Benjamin Fortitude, Beeman Under LeverHatsan Flashpup, AT44 & BullBoss, and the Venturi Avenger. Best of luck.
I hope to do some fishing videos using the Striker this summer. Also, I have almost 100 videos on pesting, hunting and accessories for air guns. I hope you will check out a few of them. Thanks for watching.
Thank You!! I was wondering what the difference was between the 4, 4 plus and the 4cv going to spend the extra couple bucks for better transducer and clarity.
Great video! Caught me off guard lol. I watch your pcp videos and I was looking into fish finders and BAM! There you are hahaha. Better than a review is a review by somebody you already trust their opinion. Thanks again!
this was an excellent video, exactly what i was looking for. however, the bigger screen here has thee same resolution as the 3.x one. it just stretches the pixels.
Does anybody out there, who has one, know if the direction of the sonar on the 4cv can be flipped? I am asking because I know you can flip the sonar direction on other Garmin fish finders, I want to rig hopefully a 4cv on my Kayak in such a way that flipping the direction of the sonar would be highly desirable. thanks.
I think it is 500 ft. But I am not sure. Here is a link to a guy who has uploaded everything you ever want to know about the Garmin Striker: ruclips.net/video/-7Cwh8l6eOo/видео.html Best of luck.
Not me personally because I have not had much experience yet. But while on he lake I noticed that people with fish finders had lots of fish while those who did not had few or none. Thanks.
I sometimes shoot carp in the river in the spring with my .22 cal. That is the only time I think about slugs because they would enter the water better than a flat pallet but I would never do it because they are too expensive. Thanks.
I was looking at these two today, you've provoked me to getting the Vivid 4cx. Thank you for making this video
I trust it all worked out well. Sorry I just saw you comment. Best wishes
Good decision. Best of luck.
Finally somebody showed the transducer size. Thank you
No joke, now I can buy the CV for ice fishing and know it'll fit down a 8" hole

Excellent video. I have the Plus 4 cv on my kayak. I am very happy with it.
I am glad you love it too. Sorry I just saw you comment. Best wishes
I really appreciate the side by side view especially with them both simulating.
Thanks I love them both so I am going to use the small one for ice fishing and the vivid for summer time because of its high definition. Thanks for watching.
Nice video.. The Vivid also does map plotting while you use it. It marks the depths on most lakes.
Yes. Sorry I just saw you comment. Best wishes

I hope you like the PCP videos just as much. Thanks for watching.
Very helpful on helping me chose a depth finder! very informational!
I have had several Hummingbirds over the years but I must admit this offers a lot for the money. Best of luck.

The best application I can think of for the chair blind is squirrl hunting. That will not be until the fall. Thanks and keep it safe.
I watch you for airguns mostly. I was pleasantly surprised to see you speaking on a kayak fish finder I've been persuing.
I love fishing just as much as PCPs. Sorry I just saw you comment. Best wishes
Same here
*Looks good even in daylight **enjoyable.fishing** recommend it was exactly what it was described to be , works awesome , overall happy with product*
I think it is great for the cost. Looking forward to using it this summer.

To me, side by side, I like the VIVID. Best of luck.
great video. Very well explained thank you
Thanks. Sorry I just saw you comment. Best wishes
Great video!
Thanks you and best wishes.
Def worth the money but the cheaper one actually looks better. Supposedly the screen has a higher resolution (pixels per inch).
You are right about that. Thanks for watching.
hello aaron.. 1 question, how about transducer, can we swap ? its work?
I don't want to swap. Thanks though.
Very helpful!
Thanks for watching. Sorry I just saw you comment. Best wishes
Thank you
Thanks for watching.
How big is the transducer on the cv4 unit??
Not sure my nephew is using it for ice fishing now. Sorry I just saw you comment. Best wishes
Does anybody out there, who has one, know if the direction of the sonar on the 4cv can be flipped? I am asking because I know you can flip the sonar direction on other Garmin fish finders, I want to rig hopefully a 4cv on my Kayak in such a way that flipping the direction of the sonar would be highly desirable. thanks.
From what I see you can flip it. Sorry I just saw you comment. Best wishes
What is the depth range on the Vivid model?
I think it is 500 ft. But I am not sure. Here is a link to a guy who has uploaded everything you ever want to know about the Garmin Striker: ruclips.net/video/-7Cwh8l6eOo/видео.html
Best of luck.
@@aaroncantrell8819 thanks
are they use the same transducer?
I think thy may come with a different transducer but I am not sure. Sorry I just saw you comment. Best wishes
Alright Aaron it's Dave from England. Have you noticed any difference in the amount of fish you catch when you use a fish finder and when you don't ?.
Not me personally because I have not had much experience yet. But while on he lake I noticed that people with fish finders had lots of fish while those who did not had few or none. Thanks.
Super
Thanks for watching.

Thanks.
Can you fish with an air rifle? 🤔
I sometimes shoot carp in the river in the spring with my .22 cal. That is the only time I think about slugs because they would enter the water better than a flat pallet but I would never do it because they are too expensive. Thanks.
I am the first!
Congratulations.
what are you doing no no no
Thanks.
