Ultraportable bundle features an
industry-first design that eliminates the need for a pole
mount
OLATHE,
Kan., July 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Garmin
(NYSE: GRMN), the world's most innovative and recognized marine
electronics manufacturer, today announced the
Panoptix™ PS22-IF Ice Fishing Bundle—its newest
live sonar solution for hard water anglers with a first-of-its kind
transducer bracket and rotator design that eliminates the need for
a pole mount. To help anglers determine where to drill the next
hole, the PS22-IF bundle includes an ECHOMAP™ UHD2 73sv
touchscreen combo with keyed assist and offers two types of
Panoptix sonar – LiveVü Forward and LiveVü Down – that shows live
sonar images up to 100 feet in any direction below the ice.
"Efficiently locating fish is key to a good day on the ice,
and sometimes that means drilling and hopping holes all day.
Garmin's new PS22-IF Ice Fishing Bundle answers the call for those
anglers, delivering a pole-free live sonar solution – in a
lightweight portable bag – that will improve efficiency and
scouting capabilities from hole to hole." –Dan Bartel, Garmin Vice President of Global Consumer
Sales
A live sonar design reimagined for the ice
Paired with the ECHOMAP UHD2 73sv, the new bundle includes the
PS22-IF transducer with two Panoptix sonar modes: LiveVü Forward
shows live sonar images of fish swimming toward or away from the
hole so anglers can better locate schools of fish, while LiveVü
Down shows live sonar images of what is directly below the surface
so it's easier to see how the fish are responding to the jig.
Designed specifically for ice fishing, the PS22-IF transducer
features a pole-free transducer system with a new bracket and
rotator that eliminates the need for a pole mount, which can often
be cumbersome for hole hopping, but maintains the ability to easily
make adjustments for depth, direction and sonar mode. Additionally,
the transducer features a new removable lens so anglers can easily
optimize their sonar for the water below.
Bundled for convenience
The bundle's rugged, glove-friendly carrying case includes a
customized pocket to hold the PS22-IF transducer. It's outfitted
with everything needed for the ice, including a 7Ah battery with
charger and power cable and the ECHOMAP UHD2 73sv chartplotter.
Preloaded with industry-leading Garmin Navionics+™,
the ECHOMAP UHD2 73sv offers mapping with up to 1-foot contours on
more than 23,000 U.S. lakes, along with a one-year subscription to
daily map updates. Like all Garmin chartplotters, the ECHOMAP UHD2
73sv is known for its easy-to-use interface that allows for
customized combination screens, so anglers can easily access the
data most important to them, including the flasher, map, live sonar
views and more. It also features built-in Wi-Fi®
connectivity that lets anglers wirelessly share sonar, waypoints
and routes with another UHD2 unit.
Expected to be available in August, the Panoptix PS22-IF Ice
Fishing Bundle has a suggested retail price of $1999.99. For existing ECHOMAP customers, a
Panoptix PS22-IF Ice Fishing Kit (ECHOMAP UHD2 chartplotter not
included) will also be available for $1249.99. Visit garmin.com/marine to learn more
