HIGH-DEF ANGLING

Lower sonar frequencies let anglers stalk fish at greater depths, whereas higherfrequency systems deliver greater detail at the expense of range. Garmin’s Ultra High-Definition GCV 20 ($599) is a blackbox sonar module compatible with GPSMap and EchoMap Plus multifunction displays. It broadcasts on frequencies from 0.8 to 1.2 MHz, delivering photolike imagery of depths to 200 feet. The GCV 20 can provide views below (ClearVü) and around (SideVü) the boat. Garmin, garmin.com
